She won an award with it at The Chrysler Nationals in 2016 after a cross country trip - website "https://sites.google.com/site/lolathevaliant/home" or Google "LolatheValiant.us". We are getting ready for another road trip down to Las Vegas for a big car show down there. Lots of folks ask if it is like the Duel car or talk about the film.

On the north side of the road is the Middleton Ranch, at 6201 Soledad Canyon Road. This is a site dedicated to location film shooting. Since 1971, the junkyard on the south side of the railroad track has been removed. The rail line at this location has transitioned from a single track to double track. <br />http://middletonranch.com/ Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5575732787738596693.post-69969869808540965942017-08-08T22:19:13.422-07:002017-08-08T22:19:13.422-07:00nicenice<a href="http://www.getcoolessay.com/uk-superior-papers-best-essay-writing-service-students/">superiorpapers com review</a>https://www.blogger.com/profile/16938644671814612280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5575732787738596693.post-6701354023322930442017-08-08T00:54:44.725-07:002017-08-08T00:54:44.725-07:00Here I am answering my own questions. After some ...Here I am answering my own questions. After some research on the Internet involving GOOGLE aerial photos and streetview pics, plus Historic aerials, I'm certain the Gifts & Apparel / Acton laundromat / Acton Service building where Dennis Weaver had his car filled with gas and he called his wife from the laundromat was located at the southeast corner of Crown Valley Road and Smith Avenue in Acton. The building has been transformed into a California Bank & Trust outlet. If it's the same building, it has been heavily rebuilt. The whole area has changed considerably since 1971. When the truck pulls in alongside the car, you're looking north. The scene took them a long time to film. When Weaver first pulls his car into the gas station, the sun is in the east and the building is casting a shadow completely over the car. When the attendant slams the hood closed, the sun has moved across the sky to the west and the car is no longer in a shadow cast by the building. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
