Wow! What a Chase! What a waste...
That they had these cars then, in Italy. And used them in an Italian movie.
One would think they would rather have used Lancia, Fiat, Alfa Romeo or the
like.
Or is it because of the love and respect one has for home made, they didn't
use Italian for this demolition derby? Imagine a Ferrari and a
Lamborghini...

Onderwerp: [FWDLK] A Respectable Man, Outgassing Vinyl ???
The first part of the Subject-line, is the translation, from the Italian
movie-title, below, which has the BEST automobile chase sequence I've
ever seen, on the basis of originality, as well as in its execution (
even though, our Hero begins the chse in a 1958 Belvie, which morphs
into the 1960 Phoenix 4-dr sedan "from Hell" , and THEN drives into, &
OUT of, a torrential rain storm! )
If you look closely At the PLY, it appears to escape the chase virtually
unscathed, which is more than can be said for its "stand-in" Phoenix
(or, is it a Seneca?) .
This video is courtesy of the FWDLK website's "Rec Room" site.
The second part of the Subject-line refers to an article in today's
L.A. Time's Weekly Imported-car Info-mercial section : "Highway" which
discusses the fact that that nasty oily residue, which appears to
appear out-of-nowhere, on the interior of windshields,
is actually the chemical deposition of outgassing from vinyl dashboards
(& padded dashes)----the more direct-exposure to the sun/
heat, the more dense is the accumulation of that stuff.
So, altho I keep Horrie out of direct sunlight (RIGHT!) , in CA, I now
know that his clear plastic seat covers are slowly vaporizing.
AND, if anyone (else) has wondered about how/why new cars smell
'different' (worse) from the way that they did, in the 50's/60's,
"outgassed vinyl" from virtually every part of a car's interior, now,
is a significant component of "New Car Smell".
Disfrute la pelicula!!!
