This is one of four vehicles constructed for the 1965 Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis and Natalie Wood film The Great Race, a slapstick parody of the 1908 New York-to-Paris race. In the livery of Professor Fate, Jack Lemmon’s character in the film, this car has a scissor-lift on the six-wheel chassis. This enables the body to rise up for special effects. Powered by a six-cylinder Corvair air-cooled engine, the four rear wheels are driven by dual chains.
Dette er en af fire biler konstrueret til filmen Det Store Løb fra 1965 med Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis og Natalie Wood, en parodi på New York-Paris-løbet i 1908. Denne bil er bemalet med Professor Fate navn, som var Jack Lemmons rolle i filmen, og har en sakselift på det sekshjulede chassis. Dette gør, at karosseriet kan hejses op som en special effect. Den drives af en seks-cylindret Corvair luftkølet motor, og de fire bageste hjul er desuden drevet af dobbeltkæder.
