    For when you want your combustion a little more external…

    It was once my pleasure to own an 1934 Ford pickup, that had a crank starter and those perilous mechanical brakes. So much fun to operate, it was full of levers and pulls, and the windshield opened out, as well as a wind vent you could open just beyond the windshield for air. The choke, fuel air mixture, clutch and gearing were all operator controled. It had a fan out wing hood, and the passenger seat had to be removed to fuel it (great fun at full service gasoline stations back in The Day). A dreadfully dangerous conveyance, with plate glass instead of safety glass, I would have suffered painful, perhaps even moral, injuries had I been involved in a serious accident.

    Its sale provided a nice stipend for my University Education.

    I admit to watching Chitty Chitty Bang Bang mostly for the turn-of-the-century automobiles…

      I watched that mostly because Ian Fleming wrote the novel.  Ok, and I had the Corgi Toys replica when I was a kid.

        And Roald Dahl wrote the screenplay.  And Cubby Broccoli produced.  And Desmond Llewellyn and Gert Frobe were in it.  It was really a Bond movie with Dick Van Dyke as both 007 and Q.

    just the sort of conveyance i’d expect villainous Babbage Racers to employ, if for no other reason than to deafen us all
