Thanks, I-B Steve. I'm going to try to find this documentary film that you reference.
I picked up a large, coffee-table book in NZ about Burt and lugged it home. Since then, I've accumulated a few other books about this amazing fellow.
Here's the link to E Hayes, which also has a number of classic American cars from the 1950s and 1960s plus more motorcycles. The collection includes the 1953 green-and-white Chevy that appeared in the Hopkins film. My parents had that same model/color Chevy in the late 1950s, so that was a personal treat for me to see it at E Hayes.

For all you fans of "The Worlds Fastest Indian", here's an article with links to a documentary from 71 about the man himself. He was singular in every sense of the word! Enjoy!
