Thanks RQ.
I have the sound turned off on my computer because everyone else in the house is asleep. But that vid of the 31 Roadster was so funny I nearly busted a gut trying to keep from laughing out loud and wakening the family. It looked like a bunch of little munchkins that had just stolen someone's new car.Jerry Forrester

Dick: The first clip you linked, of the Giant Car, is dated March 2, 1931....yet there are some streaks on the door that make it appear old, as if it had been there several years.
When was the Giant Car actually built? Wasn't it virtually new on March 2, 1931? BPWe've got to quit saying, "How stupid can you be?" Too many people are taking it as a challenge.

Cool, Dick; thanks.
Several screenings of Wild Flowers will be scheduled in The Studebaker National Museum theater during the 2012 International Meet; right? Or, at 12 minutes, even a continuous loop. BPWe've got to quit saying, "How stupid can you be?" Too many people are taking it as a challenge.

It appears Jerry and Bob are referencing the four-car load of "junkers" being dismantled and crushed at the Ford plant, whereas your response suggests the large car being rolled down the hill at The Studebaker Proving Ground.

Interesting, the video that includes rolling the car down the hill, uprighting it, and then starting it and driving it away under its own power without having to do any repairs following the multi-roll tumble.
View automobile tests vintage historic HD stock video footage in South Bend Indiana USA, 1932. Buy HD video and archival still photo images of clip number 65675058057.
Of course, that couldn't happen today because the electric fuel pump safety would have been tripped during the rollover, disabling the fuel pump's electric circuit and rendering the car "inop" until reset.
Do you suppose the guys at the top of the hill, the fellas that set it tumbling down, could imagine the day would come when one of them would have to yell to one of the guys at the bottom, "Hey, Walter; don't forget to open the trunk and reset the fuel pump safety switch before you guys try to start it!" <GGG> BPWe've got to quit saying, "How stupid can you be?"
