1941 Chrysler Thunderbolt and 1955 Falcon

We watch a 1941 Chrysler Thunderbolt raise and lower its retractable hard top then watch a 1955 Chrysler Falcon drive by. It's recorded to a defective piece of videotape . Damn!

Joe don't be such a cheapskate! I bet that videotape is the first one you ever bought, and you're recording over it again and again! Don't you feel a little embarrassed by that warning of DEFECTIVE VIDEOTAPE that appears early on?

Shoot, I only use tapes once, twice at the most. If it's worth shooting (and keeping) it's worth doing it on a clean medium. With digital of course any physical imperfection in the tape means you lose all the signal, or a huge chunk of it anyway.

@bakhirun Hi- Joe didn't do this, I did. The tape was new, from a batch that was defective. Chuck D.

Chuck, we thought the video was great! We are going to have so many great cars at this year's Highland Park Auto Historica on Sunday, July 31, 2010.

@PowDeb Hi Debbie- Thanks. Yes I'm pretty sure I will be at this years Historica. It's one of the really important car shows.

Regards,

@RideswithChuck I always liked the Ghia, and the Thunderbolt looks almost right out of Flash Gordon...by the way...did I see it right? did he blow through that stop sign at the end?

[RideswithChuck]

@TJWatson59 I never noticed that, I 'll have to look again. By the way, that was Joe Bortz behind the wheel.

Chuck, I thought the video was very nice! I remember when you were shooting the Falcon as we were leaving the Highland Park Auto Historica. Are you going to be at the Highland Park Auto Historica X? It will be July 31, 2010. It is going to be one of the best shows yet!

Awesome cars, (specially the Thunderbolt) and i also remember the '41 Chrysler Town and Country, because it was one of my favorites videos. I hope you post it again. Thanks.

[RideswithChuck]

I will be putting everything back up as time allows. Thanks for remembering.
