Pre digital color films especially in the 60's and 70's to me just had a better atmosphere to them especially if they were set in a eerie environment.

I'd definitely open a theater or drive-in that showed only horror/exploitation/grindhouse movies. I'd design it in 1970s retro-style.

Perhaps we should use the money to re-create that era's film stock?

Hey, if enthusiasts can bring back Polaroid, nothing involving film's impossible!

I'd equip a dungeon with a variety of random objects and see who could inflict the most inventive torture on trump and his supporters as possible.

Maybe I'd sell public domain movies on cheap tf cards at The Dollar Tree..................

You can do that now! Getting into Dollar Tree would be the hard part; the market for cheap PD movies evaporated ~10 years ago. To get products on shelves the surviving companies package several PD movies together, often with one famous, possibly copyrighted, movie.

I'd buy the Munster Koach!
George Barris, a hot rod god, made it.

I still don't know what it is.  :question:
What is the history behind this?
It's older- I mean it says 40 years- but I never heard of it!
I gotta say it's a kool kar!

It was on cable a few times back in the early '80s...

I didn't watch a lot of TV in the 80's. I did listen to music! I was in NYC- and my older brother Mike was a punk rocker.
That's how I started listening to punk rock. Mike was in NYC in the 70's when it started. I just rode his coat tails.

I would start my own tiny little production company...
Then, maybe a grocery store or two, with a few of those roadside hotdog huts, the kind where you walk up to a window & sit at a picnic table...
Eventually, I would build my own motorcycle & small arms factory...

I might even venture into one or two other things, all while diverting a little bit of capital into the production company...

Ultimately, everything coming out of the production company would be a big corny two hour advertisement for all my other business ventures, no matter if it's dram, comedy, action/adventure, mystery/suspence, sci-fi/horror, adults only or just for kids, it would always depict the characters and/or the extras riding my motorcycles, using my guns, shopping at my stores, or stopping by my hotdog huts! :teddyr: :teddyr: :teddyr: :teddyr: :teddyr: :teddyr: :teddyr: :teddyr: :teddyr: :teddyr:
