And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
#10: The Wagon Queen Family Truckster, from "National Lampoon's Vacation." There were either three or five made for the movie. The Truckster rose from the dead several times in the movie, but some of the crashes could have been lesser-crashed Trucksters recycled for more dramatic shots. All were thought lost in filming, until Beverly D'Angelo revealed she had acquired one from the studio and kept it hidden away for thirty-odd years. There have also been several replicas made, apparently for the lulz.
Great selection this week!

ReplyDeleteYou always seem to outdo yourself, CW. You truly have "the knack" for this sort of thing.
