This really is cool; thanks for posting it.

The sound track is also pretty cool; I think it's Pat Metheny and his band, but I am not certain. I don't recall hearing anything like that in the early 60s; maybe it was dubbed in later on?

Looks great, even today.

Yea thanks. I'm surprised at how flat the 50 rode.

Just think when this "film" was made diesel was about 25 cents.

That would be nice today.
