Hellboy has an old truck in his bedroom, might be a chair for him, or a bed for Liz, but the cats love it
Above the 1st movie, below, Hellboy 2, The Golden Army

One of the taxi cabs from the movie "The Wiz" is now up for sale
Made by Mechanic Dan and William Reynolds http://www.clearviewtire.com/MechanicDan.php between 1978 and 79
The movie prop was on a lawn in 1997 when a house was bought, and has been taking up space ever since, and now that the property is going to be sold, this taxi from Oz needs a good home.
"When I moved it went about a mile and a half to my parents garage. They both recently passed, so now it is time to get rid of the house and the taxi. It is too bulky to ship to Colorado, and the Homeowners Association will bust my chops if I put it on my lawn. So I have no choice but to sell it. I am a car guy, and want it to go to someone that will treat it right.
As you can see it was abused, I laid fiberglass on it to get it back together. Kids also sprayed red graffiti on it. We painted it in about 2000, but it looks like that wore off. I don’t know what I want for it. It could be worth pennies, or real money. I don’t want it to be scrapped. that’s my main concern.
The shell is in the driveway or garage of my parents house in Atlantic Beach NY, and is too big to fit in a van, it will fit in a small U Haul, or on a trailer. The golf cart that powered it is long gone. We painted it a dozen years ago and it looked good up until we moved in 2007.
The purchaser will have to haul it away. I don’t know if it is worth $3, $300, $3,000 or $30,000. Hopefully someone interested will have an idea of a fair price, not rip me off, and make a fair offer. Tomsebay@comcast.net
I guess Tom got ahold of me because I posted about the Wiz Taxis years ago http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/10/taxis-from-wiz.html
A terrific new video to help kickstart Hullabaloo
http://www.rotoscopers.com/2014/09/01/disney-veterans-gather-to-save-2d-animation-from-extinction-with-hullabaloo/
Hullabaloo is the story of Veronica Daring, a brilliant young scientist who returns home from an elite finishing school to find her father--the eccentric inventor Jonathan Daring--missing without a trace! The only clue left behind points Veronica toward Daring Adventures, an abandoned amusement park used by her father to test his fantastical steam-powered inventions.
There she discovers a strange girl named Jules, a fellow inventor who agrees to help Veronica in locating her missing father and discovering the secrets of his work. Together, Veronica and Jules learn that Jonathan Daring has been kidnapped by a mysterious group of influential persons, who seek to use his latest invention for nefarious purposes.
These villains are wealthy and influential and neither Veronica nor Jules can stop them openly. But determined to save her father and holding true to the family creed that technology should be used for the good of all, not the greed of some, Veronica assumes the secret identity of "Hullabaloo", a goggled crusader who uses wits and science to combat evil and oppose the nefarious conspiracy that has taken her father.
But the question remains: what are the villains up to? What do they plan to do with Jonathan Daring's mysterious new technology? And will Veronica and Jules be able to stop them in time?
If you want to help but can't afford to contribute money, https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/hullabaloo-steampunk-animated-film you can still pitch in by sharing this campaign with as many people as possible: with friends and family, on your social media, and all over the Internet.
Not only will you help raise awareness for this campaign, but you might help someone who wants to support 2D animation find out about the project and make Hullabaloo a reality.
STRETCH GOALS
At the $140,000 mark, we will make a second Hullabaloo short titled Curse of the Cheshire Cat.
At the $225,000 mark, we will make a third Hullabaloo short titled The Mysterious Island.
