A classic for me will forever be the classic Gone in 60 Seconds from 1974. I still remember that final scene... Graceful...

Taken in Bulawayo, in the then Rhodesia in around 1960.  This was a test ordered by the court to establish at what speed this Sunbeam Alpine would become airborne going over the notorious "Bulawayo Bumps" in Grey Street.  The car was driven by a Police Driving School instructor, and the car became airborne at 40 m.p.h., resulting in a conviction.
