I think they had a choice of fighting the Soviets on the Eastern front or driving beetles off of cliffs.

And the windscreen didn't even smash, although looking at the footage I think reverse was the only gear left😎

Cool ol movie though

that's nuts. I love the way the narrator has the matter of fact tone to his voice, and the happy big band music in the background. I want to see a falcon or commodore ad like that. 👍

I wonder if Nissan has thought of wrapping a few of their Skylines around trees to demonstrate their safety features?
