Hemmings Sunday Cinema – the rhomboids, the first Baja 1000, Napoli Violenta

rhomboids_1000

This year's Retromobile had a special display of what they called rhomboids – cars with their wheels laid out in a diamond pattern – and Goodwood's videographer was there to get some footage of the unusual vehicles, among which was the Alamagny, which The Old Motor provides a little more detail on.

* Even today, the Baja 1000 ain't for beginners, but in 1967 that trek through Mexico's wilderness was reserved for only the rhino-toughest of men and machine. This documentary on King Rose Archives, "27 Hours to La Paz," follows that inaugural edition of the race. (via)

* Finally, to cap off the Italian car chase movie trilogy we started a few weeks ago, the first half of this video consists of the car versus motorcycle chase from the 1976 flick "Napoli Violenta."
