Re: Dive & Screech

If it's any consolation, the screech even happened on occasion when new. There is an episode of the old Superman series where Perry White and one of the other characters come barreling in at a high rate of speed to save someone -- probably Lois Lane. Can't remember which model Packard other than 51-3 period. When Perry slammed on the brakes, the nose dived and the brakes let out a very loud screech as the car skidded to a stop.

I am really surprised they didn't edit the noise out but probably too hard to do in those days without reshooting the scene -- and they were on a budget. Anyway, the day and character were saved in spite of the noise -- and probably the Packard too although I don't remember seeing it in any more episodes.
