Tony, certainly not your doing, but the engine and car pictured is not a V8 as mentioned as a "Fireball" in the clip. To my old eyes it appears to be from a '47 or '48 Buick OHV straight eight. Hoping not to come across as a old PIA know it all. If I do, please forgive me.COOL! Loved him in the Blues Brothers. Also see his 53 Roadmaster:
