I think it's a period photo - not recent

Lol. I find they don't have much of a sense of humor about that kind of thing (or any kind of thing, in general).

For all the talk about advances in manufacturing, robots, etc....vehicle assembly plants still look pretty much like that.

----So LBJ cheaped out and didn't add knock-offs? Glen green is a very cool color. I have owned probably 4 or 5 GG 65 Corvettes over the years. My fav was a 365hp coupe with green gut and factory AC and it somehow got thru the cracks with a 4:11 gear from the factory. Very cool car!.......Bill S

Still from VANISHING POINT.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanish...int_(1971_film)

BTW . . . none of the Challenger R/Ts used in the movie survived. Chrysler was never told how much illegal drugs played a part in the movie and were furious about it after it hit the theaters. Some of the cast and crew wanted to buy some of the cars. Chrysler refused, brought all the cars back to corporate and had them crushed. So if anyone says he's seen or heard of a survivor . . . BS on that!

I don't know about that. Years ago I was at Floyd Garrett's museum in Sevierville TN and he had what was suppose to be 2 of the Challengers from the movie. One still had the camera mounts and the other one had not been washed since the move was finished.

Forget the RWL tires and the Pin Stripes (both are incorrect for this car). As you can see it's a 4 speed 325 HP SS 396. Is that the correct air cleaner?

The Hodges Meteorite

At 1:00 p.m. on November 30, 1954, Mrs. Elizabeth Ann Hodges was minding her own business dozing on the couch of her Sylacauga, Alabama home when suddenly an 8.5-pound meteorite crashed through the roof, bounced around the living room, and hit her squarely on the upper thigh and hip. Hodges escaped with just a bruise (though quite a nasty bruise it was) in the only verified instance in history when an object falling from space has hit and injured a human being.
