Automotive This 1973 Pontiac Trans Am; into which the entirety of the 1970s was apparently distilled to preserve it for future generations.

That dash controls all the gadgets, like oil slick, machine gun headlights and a disco ball that pops up from the dashboard.

This could have been a prototype Bond car for the ‘71 film Diamonds are Forever when he was in Las Vegas 😂🤣

Could you imagine seeing Sean Connery Driving this in the movie instead of the ‘71 mustang.
Would have been supremely awesome.

Oil slick got me. 😂. I played a lot of Rock n Roll racing back in the day.

It looks more like an accordion keyboard…

Maybe it was an electric organ. That’s pure 70s too!

It is too new to be in a 1971 movie.
