Running like a top!


Is this film one of the earliest with deliberate product placement ie: the white wall Firestone Tyres on the Leslie Special? they always seem to be the right way up and readable. I don't recall those used on the Hannibal Twin 8.

Possibly. And its always very easy to read that they are Firestones

So what I told you was true... From a certain point of view

By the way, the tread says "non-skid". It was an actual tread design from the period.

The Hannibal 8 had exactly the same tyres, but in black of course.
