Wally's Wings - a COX promotional film from 1961

Thanks Yabby and Bob! Maybe in my second life unless I will be reborn as an exotic plant,  but just as another Wally in LA, I will revive myself the joy of the early 60-s kids in the US who could afford flying those planes.


Funny, how they re-dubbed in the film the sound of COX engines into a low frequency murmur...the real sound of a COX was probably counter-productive in a promo film wanting to find new customers, who knew not too much about what a COX engine is capable of (mechanically, and acoustically too   ) until they started their new COX in a friendly and consolidated neighborhood  

And the castor stains left on the tarmac of that airfield with real-size airplanes in the background hangars...would OSHA of today tolerate castor on the runway??? (I remember my one and only Super Sport Trainer left similar marks on the asphalt of our high school basketball field, and the culprit was at large, never to be found ( i never admitted I was the one using the basketball field as a thimble drome)

And yes, Bob, that 60'-s Corvette is just mouth-watering...I saw that recently in a Johnny Depp film Rum Diaries...simply ever-lastingly beautiful design, a gal'-catcher if you know what I mean!!


The whole film radiates the welfare and joy of the 60-s in the USA...my goodness gracious...
