“What you gonna do when you get out of jail?…” part 182

Today’s historical video is dedicated to Iowahawk and his fans. Iowahawk may already be aware of this one.

“Wonderful World Of Wheels”. According to the YouTube notes, this is a cut-down version of a longer documentary about car culture in the 1960s. Among other things: Fabian racing go-karts, “Big Daddy” Roth and George Barris, John Derek, and narration by Lloyd Bridges (whose lungs were apparently not bursting for air).

Bonus:

Okay, not really. I just threw that in for giggles.

“Rubber For Industry”, a Firestone propaganda film from the 1940s. After all, you can’t have wheels without rubber, can you? (Well, technically, you can, but they have limitations.)

    I noticed @iowahawkblog twitter account doesn’t exist today. Do you know anything about that? I don’t know him in real life.

    Ben: I did not know that. I looked at it yesterday when I was writing this post, and it was there.

    I don’t know him in real life, but I can ask around.

    Edited to add: I asked around and was pointed to some reports that IowaHawk’s account was hacked, and that he’s reached out to Twitter support.
