Wow! A six shot starter - I never knew! Been a few years since I watched the movie, but I recall the big radial finally fired on the last cartridge. In reality, it crashed on the movie set & not everybody survived. SW |

I did more reading on the Coffman/Breeze starters and the British Field Marshall tractor did indeed use a shotgun shell starter that acted directly on the single piston of the engine. That is why the operator had to align the crank so that the piston was in the right postion for firing. |

Didn't get much photo opportunity here: Pontiac Grande Parisenne. I believe this is a '67. I had about 30 seconds to grab these 2 quick shots... Regards, Doc Sharptail |

beeb! beep! I really cannot tell what it is. It just looks like a 68-69 Plymouth or Dodge. |

67 Pontiac. The Grande Parisienne was top of the line, and fully loaded with all the desirables. Big block backed with a turbohydramatic 3 speed and positrac rear. I'm not sure if they lifted an olds big block for this model or not. It wad done more than on one occasion. Regards, Doc Sharptail |
