As Mac at Mac’s Motor City Garage described this 1966 promo for the Chevelle SS 396, it’s bad – not so bad it’s good, but still fascinatingly bad.

* Enough with the funny stuff for bad car chases (for now). Let’s go the opposite direction with car chases from films that take themselves too seriously, like this one from the 1975 flick “The Man From Hong Kong,” apparently filmed in a universe where every car explodes on contact, suggested by reader Stephane Dumas.
