I saw that. I recalled that the scene looked an awful lot like a scene in
the 1983 film "The Right Stuff." I've just pulled out my old Laserdisc
player and reviewed the scene. I'd have to compare it to the NGC show to be
sure but it looks identical, lots of old cars cruising the beach at Cocoa
Beach, FL. Then one shot shows a white '57 Chevy cruising down the beach
followed by a white '60 Corvair with rear wheel skirts and a chrome grille
on the front.

I guess I tend to notice Corvairs in movies. While I have the Laserdisc
player dusted off, I might take another look at "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad
World."
