I can't believe it -- I can't believe they torched a perfectly good Roadmaster! Good scene or not, I weep at the waste of such automotive beauty. :cry:

You are quite right, Commander 57. It was a junk that nobody wanted at the time :(

My ** sigh ** was in support of yourauntgussie.
Even if the car was a "junker" and would have never seen the road again, valuable parts were lost that could have been used on another restoration.

As mike suggested, it looked like stock footage (I doubt they would have done that for a 2-second scene), so maybe not even intentional; it may be from accidental fire or from much older riot archive pictures (this scene is scene amongst other in riot events).

I'll try to take solace in that possibility.

I'm with you, Commander. Thanks for your much-needed emotional support. (snivel, sniff, whiiiiine)

My grandfather restored antique cars, so I grew up with an appreciation of automotive beauty, good engineering (It used to happen....), and the "pizzazz" that makes for a true classic car. Bet there's not many women who contribute to your site! ;)

Everyone is welcomed, especially those who support the preservation of old cars!

After watching the whole episode, that image struck me as being news footage, so I know that Roadmaster was reduced to ash back in 1965. (I'm pretty sure they used only actual Watts footage -- goodness knows there was plenty of it.)

rjuna, thanks for the URL. That footage site is dynamite! 'Preciate your response -- it could be useful in oh, so many ways!

Perhaps one could go through these footage from http://www.footage.net/search/watts%20riot?AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1 :think:
