Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Car.
This is one of several car built for the 1968 movie, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
For the 1968 film, six cars were created, including a fully functional road-going car with UK registration GEN 11. This car was designed by the film's production designer, Ken Adam, and cartoonist and sculptor Frederick Rowland Emett.
The second road version, which only appears in 12 seconds of the movie, is on display at the Stahls Automotive Foundation in New Baltimore, Michigan. This car differed from the others as the grille-supports were horizontal instead of vertical, and the steering wheel sat higher on the dashboard. It was used for filming inside the Castle with a mechanism to make it look like it was driving itself. It was also in the scene before the railroad bridge.
