Automobile Thrill Shows

This is the cover photo of the definative book on Lucky Lee Lott. The book can be purchased here.


To that commenter who continues to leave comments on this post. Please tell me which photos are your and I will gladly remove them. Most of these came from youtube or flickr.com. I am sorry is I used some of your photos. A lot of the photos that are on this post can be found in several different places on the web (the car jumping over the truck,for example). Some were obtained from ephemera dealers. Please tell me what website you think the photos were originally posted. There are several thrill show sites and, as a matter of fact, my wife's father often booked thrill shows in the midwest in the forties, he owned a carnival and booked in attractions. Most of his contemporaries would, I am sure, appreciate the publicity of being posted on several blogs. Regardless, let me know which photos are yours and I will gladly remove them.

Update 12.26.2007
I have received two more emails from the anonymous commentator. Here is a copy of an email I sent to the stuntworld or stuntdriver website:

My wife's father used to own a carnival and often booked Aut Swenson's Thrill Show with his carnival. In the late 1980s, we traveled the same circuit as Joie Chitwood. Last November I posted some old pictures of thrill shows that I had gotten off the web and from Amazon.com and some of my father-in-law's pictures.

The day before Christmas I received an anonymous email telling me that I had to take all the pictures that didn't belong to me down. There were misspellings and a general threatening tone. The text of the email:

Since the poster was anonymous, I had no way of knowing who it was. I was able to tell from my blog feed that someone from Canada had visited that particular page about the time the comment was received.

I googled Thrillshow Canada and came up with your site. I took down all the pictures that were unique to your site. I did leave up some pictures that were generic (Lucky Lee Lott's book cover and the Joie Chitwood ford crossover, and one photo of Lucky Teter jumping a truck).

I asked the sender via my website which photos were causing him discomfort. I also found a clause on your website saying the photos can be used as long as they are not commercial uses. I pasted that on my website.

I received another email:

From Tim Smith of New Mexico

I have never met this Tim Smith from New Mexico, but if he is representing you and your website, you are not getting a fair value for your consideration.

It might be appropriate for you to address this issue with Tim Smith. As it is, he reflects poorly on your organization.

What Mr. Smith attempted to paste on my website: Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "Automobile Thrill Shows":

I enjoyed looking at your website and am dismayed by actions taken by Tim Smith of New Mexico in your name.
