Description:
HIDDEN from public view for over 50 years, in the early 60s, the Golden Sahara was one of America's most famous cars. Originally built from a car that was wrecked in an accident, the first Golden Sahara was built by George Barris. It was the Golden Sahara 2, however, that was brought to public attention and cemented the vehicle as revolutionary. Four different steering options including aircraft-inspired controls; in-built television and tape recorder/player; electronic doors; vibrating massage seat; a hydraulic trunk and light-up neothane tyres made this car truly ahead of its time. A 24 carat gold trim interior, a white mink carpet and a mini bar in the back seat also goes to show how this vehicle was created to be over the top. At the height of its fame, having toured all over the USA for over four years, owner Jim Street retired the car into his collection. After Jim passed away, current owner Robert Olson bought the derelict car for a reported over $350,000 - and entirely restored it to its former glory. Robert told FutureStudiosCars: \

_my-name-is-khan---mnik---shah-rukh-khan-kajol.webp "My Name is Khan, introduces us to a global, multicultural theme from the<br/>perspective of an innocent Muslim in the horror of the post-9/11 United States.<br/>Victimized for being autistic in his native India, Rizvan Khan also faces the<br/>perennial violence and hate generated by the anti-Muslim pogroms there. While<br/>an impressionable child, his mother, Razia Khan, teaches him a very profound<br/>ethical lesson - that irrespective of caste, class, race, religion, or ethnicity, there<br/>are only two kinds of people - good ones who do good deeds, and bad ones who<br/>do bad deeds.<br/>After immigrating to the United States, Rizvan works as a salesman for his<br/>brother Zakir Khan’s herbal beauty products company. Due to his strong work<br/>ethic, he is able to enjoy the benefits of the American Dream. Despite opposition<br/>from his brother, he marries a Hindu divorcee, Mandira, who has a 6-year old son,<br/>Sameer, and becomes part of her family. They work hard, lead a happy life, and<br/>are well integrated into a multicultural community.<br/>After the tragic events of 9/11 Rizvan’s whole world turns upside down.<br/>Due to prejudice, Mandira's customers abandon her beauty salon and she is forced<br/>to close and seek work elsewhere. 9/11 marks a watershed moment concerning<br/>the rights of Muslims in the US. The ignorance, fear, racism, and hysteria<br/>generated by the media lead to stereotyping, demonization, stigmatization, and<br/>brutal attacks against Muslims. The film depicts the cruel, inhumane, and racist<br/>character of American society, where Muslims are considered less than human<br/>and their rights trampled upon with impunity, based on unsubstantiated and vague<br/>suspicions. Due process and equal protection rights are disregarded due to the<br/>hysteria generated by terrorism. We see events get even uglier when Sameer,<br/>Mandira's son, is killed by four racist bullies at his school. Mandira is beside<br/>herself with grief and blames Rizvan and his Muslim-ness for all their woes. She<br/>asks Rizvan to leave and only return when he is able to tell the President of the<br/>United States that he is not a terrorist. Accordingly, Rizvan leaves San Francisco<br/>in search of the President to deliver his message.<br/>This movie depicts the gross violations of the civil/human rights<br/>experienced by the Muslim community in the US, which arose from prejudice,<br/>collective blame, and hate incited against Muslims. While attempting to meet<br/>President Bush, Rizvan is arrested for suspicion of being a terrorist and is placed<br/>in solitary confinement, in flagrant violation of his constitutional rights. He is<br/>strip/cavity searched and dehumanized by overzealous law enforcement agents<br/>and classified as a dangerous terrorist. In time, due to the advocacy of Rizvan's<br/>friends, the authorities realize they have made a mistake and release him.")
