Shot on 8mm film in 1949, this vintage home movie captures a red prototype car performing wheelies on a grassy field in Denver, Colorado. The experimental vehicle, with its unusual multi-wheel design, lifts its front end high as it maneuvers across the field. In the background, empty stadium-style bleachers rise under a hazy sky. The footage shows natural film grain, slight color fading, and the characteristic imperfections of a 1940s home movie, offering a rare glimpse of early automotive experimentation and playful engineering.
