Tripped By Ty Cobb’s Ghost

Tripped By Ty Cobb's Ghost

This 1959 Chrysler Imperial is a studio prop car from the movie “Cobb.”  It’s just a body and interior.  There’s no chassis, wheels or driveline.  It’s perched on a pile of rickety pipes along the fence at Paul’s junkyard.  I set up the camera legs between the pipes and had to climb on them to add the lighting from various angles.  The whole pile felt like it was ready to come down.  I fell down and smacked my shin hard on a piece of steel getting this shot. They say ‘ol Ty was an ornery cuss . . .
