Rande and Buck

Thank you Rande for providing a confirmed ID for the Jowett Jupiter shown in The Lost Missile. I've never heard of that car before, which may be understandable as its wikipedia entry (below) confirms very low production numbers and a several unique features.

Also thanks to Buck for adding color to the Lost Missile story. I wondered where the filming location was and had no idea I was looking at the future Marina Del Rey area.

This seems to confirm again that virtually any movie of any quality can benefit from the inclusion of a few good cars!

Thanks again for all responses.

Terry

Michael,

I would 'Google image' a car called the Jowett Jupiter, and you can learn more
about it through Wikipedia. It's a Brit car from the early 1950's. Try to find
an image of it taken from the rear, as that's the view from the youtube film.
