Such a cool innovative car
Small museum in central PA they have probably one of the bigest private collections of this one off car produced post WWII. I believe they have 3 and all were used in the movie and were/are driven. The museum attendant was very cool letting me get up close and personal with the car while taking these pictures. He was willing to let me get it on the car but I declined in hind site i should have taken him up on the offer. Don't think.i will ever get the chance again.

Sorry guys the photos were take years ago more than 15 years just stumbled upon them going through a flash drive and yeah they probably were take on a flip phone ha ha it was at the time state of the art. The one of the interior i was 3/4 of the way inside the car. Can't see it in the photos but the passenger foot well is a big open area intended for the passager crouch if they saw a collision coming. Factory seat belts, pop out glass and that engine a 6 cylinder out of a helicopter layed on its side if I would have to guess it has to be one of the first subaru style boxer engine.
