      yeah, probably shouldn't have posted this, it's just that I was so excited to find out that yet another of the Hannibal 8's has survived.

      I tend to get emotionally involved with my projects, should probably seek professional help about that πŸ˜•

              The gaudy gold structure you can see in the background of the second photo is part of a Wurlitzer organ that was also restored at the Stahl Museum. You can see it being played in Mar 2015, with the Hannibal 8 and a Leslie Special in the background here:

                  Pity they didn't play that on the Wurlitzer.
                  Did you notice the back end of the moose at 2:48 in that video? πŸ˜„

                      you're right. . .forgive moi. Note the 19th century ear horn.

                      right now it's in our Pinewood Derby mothballs where it has been for the past 20 years--right next to the Lost Ark.. I guess I oughtta get it back out and spiff it up.

                      Nah.

                        Oh yes. Always good for a chuckle or two. A nice bit of Blake Edwards' subtle wit.

                        BTW . . .I could probably do this in Sketchup. Professor Fate's Noise Seeking torpedo. My son and I did this years ago for his first cub scout pinewood derby car. great little conversation piece. It lost in the race. .but won first place in Design.

                          I've just started a new website & forum, dedicated to the cars and characters from the movie.
                          If you do get it out, I'd love to see some photos of it posted there. πŸ˜„

                            Nice website. I do have some interesting stuff about the movie I came across when researching the Hannibal 8, I'll try to post some of it to your site.
