I've been to the site dozens of times, since I used to do a geology job near there and we usually went to the nearby hamburger joint in Cholame, just west of the intersection. The video was filmed in the Mojave Desert somewhere. The actual site is quite a bit different. More grassland than desert. It's still a starkly beautiful area and would have looked just fine in the film. But the intersection has been re-designed since the 50s.

Anyway, it was a nice way of looking at the whole situation, Poor Donald Turnipseed had to live with that for a long time.

BTW, how did they get 10.5 gallons into the tank? I could never get more than about 7 gallons in mine. The fuel tank is from a 356 and is angled, so the outlet is above the bottom of the tank. It goes dry at about 8 gallons.
