- 1935 Packard sedan and owner film star Harold Lloyd

"...was an American actor, comedian, filmmaker, screenwriter, and stunt performer who is most famous for his silent comedy films ... His films frequently contained "thrill sequences" of extended chase scenes and daredevil physical feats, for which he is best remembered today. Lloyd hanging from the hands of a clock high above the street in Safety Last! (1923) is one of the most enduring images in all of cinema..."

"...Lloyd did many of these dangerous stunts himself, despite having injured himself in August 1919 while doing publicity pictures for the Roach studio. An accident with a bomb mistaken as a prop..." [wikipedia]
