Richard,

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.

Steve

Great, thanks Steve. I was going to ask your permission to repost some of your material from here

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.

NOISE seeking!

Very nice work. Where is it now?

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

Was going to include a bunch of background stuff but that seems to bore some people. I might include some stuff later on, as the model progresses.

+1 for more background!

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:
