Back in the Sixties there was a TV series called ""Run For Your Life" starring Ben Gazzara. In the opening credits there was a shot of Bonneville--the black line taken from a car-- I think that's what first interested me in LSR. I've always wondered whose car that film was shot from or was it a Hollywood production? It looks real to me!

Neil, I don't know the answer but about 1960 the was another program called "Man and the Challenge" And if I recall correctly the opening shot was looking out the front of the Challanger at Bonneville. Wayno

IIRC, that shot was "Stock" footage from another film, but not 100% sure.

I had a thought on this, I figured it was a long wheelbase motorcycle that kept flipping back and forth. Watch the horizon and you can see it tilting as well as the side to side stuff

Gearhead, are you sure it wasn't a roadster. :-D
