What "myth" are they "busting" with these chromed beauties? All that I found on Wikipedia for Season 2 Episode 2 (Production# 013) was as follows (And I pray it isn't that last one!): If a small hole is made in a plane at altitude, can it cause explosive decompression and tear the plane apart? Can you use a bullet as a fuse in a vehicle, and can that same bullet go off in the fuse box? If you attach steel cable to a car's rear axle and a telephone pole, will the axle be ripped from the car once it drives? |

If it’s a one star car, then they probably didn’t do anything with it (hopefully) It may be stock footage used on the show from somewhere else. |

What does the script say behind the wheel opening? In my gut I feel like this is a Flxible Premier. Hard to top this in terms of sheer elegance. -- Last edit: 2009-03-09 20:54:36 |

The script behind the wheel opening says 'Cadillac', while the other one reads 'S&S' and this looks to be their Park Row limousine coach. Flxible built exclusively on Buick chassis in these days. .gif ";)") Edit: No, not the Park Row, this ought to be a landau coach and thus again the Victoria. -- Last edit: 2009-03-09 23:22:27 |

Behind the headlamps, just above the upper beltline trim is a long, narrow badge. What is that for? |

Another S&S badge, probably reads the model name, but I'm not sure. 1960 S&S coaches are pretty rare and I've never seen one in real life. |

The script behind the wheel opening spells the name of the S&S model, not "Cadillac". Although you can't see the rear quarters in this photo, I believe it's the "Victoria" model (compare the two - poor - script images below) www.car-nection.com/yann/Dbas_ima/60ssnam3.jpg www.car-nection.com/yann/Dbas_ima/60ssnam2.JPG |

MrCadillac is right, my fault: The script reads "Victoria", so we take the same line. |

That is just the standard Series 62 fender emblem used on all '60 Cadillac commercial chassis cars. |
