Professor Fate's "Hannibal 8"
-
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?

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.
