Appeared in the media

Movie - Lie Down With Dogs, 1995 - This homosexual-themed movie was brought to my attention through IMCDB.org, a variation on the IMDB. Where the IMDB is an Internet Movie Data Base, this is a CAR data base, cataloging cars that have appeared in movies. I have not seen the movie, but here is the IMCDB's badly out of focus screen shot.

Glassic featured on TV show

In Dec. 2011, Oprah Winfrey and Steven Tyler (Lead singer of Aerosmith and American Idol judge) were spotted in a TV ad for Oprah's 2012 season premier. Below are a screen capture of them tooling around in a newer Glassic (Repicar). There is also an inserted video from Oprha's website, with several minutes of them taking a ride in Steven's Glassic. (that clip may or may not remain on her site for very long.)

The above still came from an ad for the show..

Steven Tyler's Tour of Lake Sunapee

To Aerosmith's Steven Tyler, Lake Sunapee is a place so perfect it could be a movie set. Tag along on a tour of his New Hampshire hideaway and see where he met his musical soul mate, guitarist Joe Perry, for the first time. Plus, Steven opens up about his disagreement with Aerosmith after signing on to American Idol.

This clip has been linked from Oprah's web page the morning after the show . The car is apparently Steven Tyler's
and, as of 1/2/12 it is not registered on the website. It appears to be a 1976 or 1977 Replicar. One time an ad appeared
before the clip, other times it did not.
There are other references to some of these cars on the Annex website, I will eventually link this page to them, but in the meanwhile, I wanted to make note of them in one place.
