Topic: AutoPuzzles Theater 2

[Otto Puzzell]

Today's features are a mixed bag of documentary footage, an auto ad from yesteryear, and a Feature-length film about kids, cars, and trouble. AutoPuzzles legend Allemano sent me the links to all of these films, with the exception of the Bimbo cartoon, and the Hot Rod Girl feature.

A look at the Nürburgring and Hermann Lang's W125 Mercedes.

Crikey - the feature was too long! I'll see if I can figure out how to split and re-load it.
