Questions for our resident forensic graphic artist, James Hackerott

[Tom Graves]

Dear James,

On 3 November 2025, you posted the following on page 14 of Storing's "Coupla Guys" thread:

While recently [watching a movie] I saw what looks like a possible fit for the Nat Geo “island” car [a 1958 Pontiac Bonneville]. The 1959 Ford Fairlane Galaxy 500 has a body length of 17.5’. I modeled my highly acclaimed “Lego Car” with a 17.5’ length and positioned it in my 3D model using a Robert Hughes frame of the doorway that shows the nose of the car. When viewing from a Wiegman position it is obvious the 17.5’ length extends about 5-6’ to the west [i.e., to the left] of the black suited man [“Fedora Man”]. This is what Royell has stated in his postings. I had to shorten the test car to just under 12’ length to completely mask it with the black suit guy [“Fedora Man”].

Questions and points of disagreement:

1) Since we can see only about two feet of the rear part of Storing’s 17.5-foot 1958 Pontiac Bonneville “Getaway Car” to the left of "Fedora Man" in Wiegman, I’m afraid your measurements are a bit off.

2) In Wiegman, the aforementioned two feet of Storing's 1958 Pontiac Bonneville "Getaway Car" overlap the front(?) half(?) of a light-colored car parked on the other side of Elm Street Extension, fooling Storing and perhaps others into believing they're seeing one car (a mutant car parked across Elm Street Extension) instead of two (a composite comprised of the car across Elm Street Extension and Storing's overlapping 1958 Pontiac Bonneville "Getaway Car" parked next to the "island").

3) Question: Could that light-colored car on the other side of Elm Street Extension in Wiegman be the light-colored car we can just barely catch a glimpse of directly above the shoulder of the bending-over man at 8:55 in the National Geographic documentary? (Hint: You've gotta go "click-click, click-click" real fast to find it.)

4) Given that Storing’s 1958 Pontiac Bonneville "Getaway Car" is visually overlapping the front 3/4 of the light-colored Ford Fairlane 500 on the other side of Elm Street Extension in the William Allen photo on page 28 of the "Coupla Guys" thread (which photo was taken from a different angle than Wiegman and shows a burly policeman watching the Three Tramps walk past him), it’s ironic that you chose a light-colored 1959 Ford Fairlane 500 to "stand in" for Storing’s 1958 Pontiac Bonneville in your model of the Wiegman scene, thereby probably confusing oodles and gobs of people, myself included.

     In the face of these ever changing Lego "visual aids", we know in reality what we do Not see on the Wiegman Film. There is NO 17.5 Foot long car, standing at close to 5 feet tall, parked inside the, "NO PARKING At Any Time" zone alongside the Island. When you get right down to it, what you are attempting to sell this forum is the existence of an enormous "Rectangle Of Invisibility" alongside the Island.

Yes there is, Storing.

You just refuse to see it.

   The above is confirmation of the belief that there is a"Rectangle Of Invisibility" alongside the Island. This belief of a "phantom car" is directly in line with all of the Lego "Looney Tune" Visual Aids.

Keep on believing whatever your KGB-influenced anti-"Deep State" confirmation bias dictates, Storing.
