Part One is probably the best footage I have ever
shot. A totally cute model and a 1951 Chevy that had not been tampered
with in any way. The setting is winter 2008, and I asked Delila to see
if the Chevy would start, and if so, to back the car down the driveway
and proceed to drive away. The 51 finally starts, only to immediately
stall so Delila has to crank it even more. When it starts the second
time, Delila backs down the driveway into the street, but when she puts
it into first gear, the car dies, and the struggle to start the Chevy
begins all over again. This is the real deal. In Part Two, Delila cranks
the 49 Ford until it finally starts, but then decides that the lack of
power steering makes the car too hard to handle so she brings the car
back up the driveway. Part Three features Delila trying to start the
1968 Opel and talking to you as she struggles to start the car. The
engine keeps turning over but just will not start. When it comes to
realism, no one is better than Delila. |
