Going through some of my factory correspondence, I found a one page memo from the Atlanta Durant distributor that explains how to set up a car for this stunt and also some promotion ideas.
This is from the early '20's, and was a popular advertising gimick.
Maybe this is something you want to try with one of your cars!
If you would want a copy of this memo send me an email and I will reply with this memo as an attachment, or send me a SASE and I'll snail mail you a copy....
