    Route 66 To walk the Serpent

    I was going through a episode of Route 66 season one 'To walk a serpent." In that episode Tod and Buzz drive a solid lifter 61 Corvette. You can hear it when they start the car up. There is a small chase scene (Worth Watching if you have it ) where you see the interior of the car. In the center of the dash under the mirror is a black handle. At first I thought it was to move the review mirror but then realized its stationary. Anyone have a clue as to what it is. The episode is on utube.

        Don't know if I get points or not, but I immediately recognized the location from the years I lived in Boston.

          Since it's Christmas, I will assess you 38 points. Enjoy!

            That must be it. That is how you can hear them when the talked while driving. If anyones C1 had a strange hole in that place in their dash you maybe have and extra special C1 that was driven on the set. I bet those cars are still out there somewhere.

                Yep, I know just enough about computers, corvettes, and women to be dangerous.

                  Or the car has already been judged and whoever owned it was told, "You need to fix that hole somebody drilled in the dash."

                    I'm trying to understand the traffic pattern in the top image. Looks to be a One Way Street but there seems to be cars parked in the wrong direction.Mike

                        You need to understand that in Boston traffic signs are seen merely as suggestions.

                          there is a "key hole" cut under the dash in that position for the power convertable top switch if car is so equipted with that option....if you do not have that hole in a replacement dash, you get a point deduct at judging

                            There are no traffic patterns in Boston. It's a place where the streets in the downtown area follow the original paths used to bring the animals to the Commons for grazing. Pretty much the same today.

                              Either way the streets are shut down for filming. I'm just wondering if Martin Milner is really driving during the chase when the Corvette fishtails on the turn. Wonder if that would of happened in a C2 at the same speed with the independent suspension ?
