Hi
Manny here from carfilms.com the show last night acctually made history in many ways. that was the first automotive documentary that broadcast historic footage in real HD 1080p ( for you video geeks) the b-roll footage of the Daytonas and cobras was restored and tranfers from the original negatives of several films that had been lost for years. the source films are American Challeng, Shelby goes racing with Ford and wonderful World of Wheels (you can get the DVD's at www.carfilms.com) we own the original elements of these films and had them tranferd at one of the top post houses in hollywood for the show hope you enjoyed the show http://i24.ebayimg.com/08/i/000/d8/82/2840_12.JPG |

That was a very good compilation, Sam Posey was quite good as he has always been. It was good to see the true designer Pete Brock get his dues first hand and hear it in his own words. 3 years ago I was privaleged to be in a vehicle with Dick Smith at the WSCB when we spotted Pete Brock who Dick had been looking for. The 1/2 hour conversation that ensued was fantasic and was puctuated with conversation pinpinting times and events that they had shared while working with Shelby. Pretty heady stuff. Their conversation led me to believe Dick had driven the car in a developmental capacity. It was also discussed that Pete had a true desire to make a 427 Coupe in Aluminum to duplicate the one that languished for so long to have an FE put in it and he wanted Dick to "Shake it down", unfortunately the latter will never happen. |
