The Great Race - Castle Rescue Scene featuring the Leslie Special and the Hannibal 8!!

Occasionally RetroMaven likes to shake things up so here is a clip from one of my favorite movies from my childhood. The Great Race (1965) is a Blake Edwards' comedy loosely based on the New York to Paris Race of 1908. While the movie starts Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon, and Natalie Wood, the real stars are the two incredible automobiles, the Leslie Special and the Hannibal Twin-8! This scene in which the Great Leslie (Curtis) and Max (Peter Falk) join forces to rescue their comrades being held prisoner in the castle of Baron Von Stuppe (Ross Martin) features both of these amazing cars!
