On "My Car Story" we're in Geneva IL at The Geneva Concours d’Elegance on 8-23-15.
We're looking at a 2013 Reproduction of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
The car's Owner and Builder is Mat Klemp. Mat always enjoyed the movie, and decided in 2009 to build the car. This car took 4 years to build, and it looks very much like the Original. Well done Mat!
ENJOY!

Such a cool car, Lou! I just got through viewing your coverage of the Mad Max interceptor - and ya just can't compare these two cars. They each have their own category of coolness. Apples and Oranges. THE WINGS are the perfect touch! Without the wings, it just couldn't be a Chitty Chitty Bang Bang car. I love it!
When the wings came out it's was OVER THE TOP !
I love that people make replicas of movie cars. I am going a different route. I am making a full size replica of the Amityville Horror House.
Hi Crosis of Borg, Hope your project turns out as you plan, Lou
I've especially wanted to take the time to kindly mention that I personally came up with the brilliant idea to create a totally 1OO% real version of the magical motorcar that gets her name from the sound that her engine makes knowing that's exactly how she got known as Chitty Chitty Bang Bang-the famously magical motorcar! The version from the movie gave me tons of excellently wonderful inspiration, and especially with no secret I'll happily be using the Goodyear brand tires on my version of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang like they certainly hard done in the movie 20 years following the start of BR in 1948 meaning all the railway companies became 1 major company!

Hi Keith, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) Lou
BRILLIANT !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Glad you enjoy this one steve jelly :-)
Lou Costabile Gor my please,,,,,, it's such a beautiful car ,,,,,,,,,,, it looks more pleasant than the latest, most expensive Rolls Royce.
It looks such a "fantasy" car ,,,,,,,,,,, and I know the car company "Panther" made a coach built car based on a Jaguar 4.2 and a V12,,,,,,,,,but I've always wondered if somebody could ever design a car just as beautiful using an old Jaguar XJ series ?????
But at 1.25 mins,,,,,,,,,, it's just "staggering".
Thanks for the reply.
My pleasure steve jelly, and thank you for viewing and sharing.
At 4:06 it is revealed that those tube-like things on the dashboard are drip oilers for an old airplane engine. I've always wondered what those are. I've seen the film so many times and always wondered what they were. As most everyone knows, Chitty's engine was (in the real world) an airplane engine. That's what helped the car (in real life, and in the film) win so many races.
In the film, I wonder if the Dick Van Dyke character put them there when he was rebuilding the car, or were they always there since it was a 1910s race car. I can't say whether I saw them there or not before the car was rebuilt. And even then, how exactly they were supposed to work, and why were they on the dashboard?
Hi Regarding the "tube-like things" they are to show oil flow in the engine, and fortunately I have @ the 17:33 mark of this video you can see how they work on a 1908 Packard, enjoy, Lou ua-cam.com/video/W1s3kNuwZZI/v-deo.html
alman54 I think a lot of old race cars from that era had those. It also took 2 people to run them, one to drive and one to pump the oil and fuel in.
alman54 I think the race car in the beginning had them too.
Wow where is it now
Hmmm, probably still in IL?
@@loucostabile looks good just needs a few bits

Damn.
That's all I can say.

I doesn't look anything like Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. This is like a 3/4 scale model.
