One of my all time favorite movies. . .
this is true!
a film category to which also belongs "Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines or How I Flew from London to Paris in 25 Hours 11 Minutes" -
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?

NOISE seeking!
Very nice work. Where is it now?
-
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.

Hey, is this model still available?
-
It never was 'available'.
-
Can I purchase it?
-
I am a new user here, sorry for the newbie questions. But I would appreciate if someone could explain how can I get this model. Thanks!
-
The only way you can 'get it' is to make it yourself. A good tool for learning.
-
It's not published, buy you could try contacting its author and offer to buy it ?
