Greenlight - Chevrolet® Corvette - Joie Chitwood Thrill Show (1958, 1/64 scale diecast model car, Cream) 30330/48

In 1942, stuntman Earl "Lucky" Teter died and Chitwood took over his show after being asked by his widow to sell Teter's equipment. Chitwood was unable to find a buyer during World War II. Chitwood was deemed 4-F so he taught welding at factories. He began to operate the "Joie Chitwood Thrill Show." The show was an exhibition of auto stunt driving that became so successful he cut back significantly in racing. Often called "Hell Drivers," he had five units that for more than forty years toured across North America thrilling audiences in large and small towns alike with their death-defying automobile stunts. Chitwood performed a ramp-to-ramp jump with a car that was devised by Teter. Chitwood and his son Joie Jr. perfected driving a car on two wheels. 

His show was so popular, that in January 1967, the performance at the Islip Speedway, New York was broadcast on ABC television's Wide World of Sports.
