Welcome to AUTOMOTIVE POP CULTURE! Today marks a foyer into Classic Cool with Professor Fate's original HANNIBAL 8 from THE GREAT RACE! Check out the Coolness in the Garage Store! When was the last time you saw this fun film?? Should Fireball do the GREAT LESLIE also?? YOU DECIDE!
DID YOU KNOW?? The Hannibal 8 was a custom-built, rocket-propelled car that could raise and lower itself, shoot a cannon, and create smoke screens. It was designed to be destructive and help the villainous driver beat his heroic competitor. The Hannibal 8 was powered by a Corvair 6-cylinder engine and had a 3-speed manual transmission and cost $150,000 to build in 1964, which is equivalent to over $1 million today!! After Warner Brothers let the cars go, they were displayed at the Movie World Cars of the Stars Museum in Buena Park, California... but where are they now??
