I only saw it for the car, but it was a fun movie.. It was great to see the "flying wombat" strut its stuff when it was brand new.
Nitpicking, I know, but I wished they showed its real dashboard instead of a different studio mockup.
I love this car. I hear it is now in Las Vegas, but when I went to the museum there, last july (2009), I didn't see it. Perhaps it is in a private collection. I wonder what the tune was, that the horn played.
shareThe car horn plays The Ride of The Valkyres by Wagner
shareThis fabulous car is in the car museum (The National Auto Museum) in Reno.
shareMy Mom called me into the room to see, but I missed it. I'm guessing "The Flying Wombat" is Heintz's & Schwartz's 1938 "Phantom Corsair"?
shareYes it's the Corsair. If you didn't catch the movie TCM is currently offering it on demand. Unfortunately it's only for another day but they do show it from time to time.
shareJust watched this movie on YT. Like the OP said, it was a fun movie and the cast went well together. But the car was excellect, reminded me of those cars of the future books they used to print.
