      Thanks and indeed, they are certainly trying harder with the system lately again against fair use content, which is why it took me a few days longer than usual to get this one out and why I had to resort to slide showing that one clip, but I'll keep doing these for as long as I can anyway 😉👍

    Thanks for the video. It'd be cool if ya did a video on the 73 oldsmobile delta 88 from evil dead/Sam Raimi films. Its in almost all of his film's. Haven't seen anyone do anything on his car other than yt shorts, so might be a cool vid.

    • @sombra6153

      I recall comments about the car when the Toby McGuire Spider-Man movie was released. The car reportedly belonged to a Raimi family member and no longer ran, at least at the time of the movie. He probably still has it. So it would be an interesting vid.

    My Grandfather had a Convertible 60’s Lincoln Continental he bought from Robert Keeshan or who everyone knows as “Captain Kangaroo”. Mr. Keeshan used to buy a new one every year. My Grandfather used it in parades in Ft. Myers after he moved from NY.

    Bought the 1/18 scale at toys are us, on clearance for 10 dollars. Obviously a good investment. On that same day I also bought The Car, for the same price. Always wonder what happen to the death mobile. Just like I always wondered what become of the Dodge brother truck from Green Acres, alias Mr. Haney's truck & the Hoyt Clagwal tractor. I think I spelled the tractor name right, well your fans will know what I mean. Its like they disappeared from the public eye as well. Enjoyed the video.

    I can't believe I still haven't seen this movie. I love raunchy comedies like this. I never knew about that Lincoln, though. There's a guy close to my neighborhood who owns this generation Continental and he's been just letting it rot in his driveway for well over a decade now. Pisses me off every time I see it. That's no way to treat a classic car.

      Ah yes, but a 62 Lincoln has curved side windows, while the 64 has flat side windows. I guess none of that would matter once they converted it to the Deathmobile.

    4:12 4 door 1957/58 Plymouth Belverdere/Savoy with the Iconic Christine tail lights, for a car that would have been only 4-5 years old in the timeline of 1962, looks like The Deltas wrecked that one also 🤣
