[Healeys] Viva Las Vegas

[Randy Hicks]

I’m curious by the color. Understanding that the movie was made in 1964 and the BN1 is a ’53 and a lot can happen in between, but the light green looks like rare Lustreen Green or the light green used in the Special Test Cars. ???

From the bits we saw it was a terrible film with Presley doing his best to not sing or act. The bit we saw showed the action of the grand prix that started in Las Vegas and yes the racing scenes were like the rest of the film – terrible.
