Date Sold 6/13/2019 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 20" [36 x 51 cm]) (Learn More) Evel Knievel was one of the most famous daredevil/stuntman most notable for doing long motorcycle jumps. There was a movie biography of his life in 1977 naturally starring himself (because no one else could have done the stunts!). Probably his most famous stunt was one that failed completely, which was attempting to jump the Snake River Canyon! Legend says he broke a total of 433 bones over his career, a world record if true! He passed away in 2007 at the age of 69. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that in 1974, Knievel attempted to jump the Snake River Canyon in Idaho using a rocket-powered motorcycle (called the Skycycle X-2). Unfortunately, the drogue parachute prematurely deployed as the Skycycle left the launching rail and induced significant drag. Even though Knievel made it all the way across the canyon to the north rim, the prevailing northwest winds caused it to drift back into the canyon. By the time it hit the bottom of the canyon, it landed only a few feet from the water on the same side of the canyon from which it had been launched. If he had landed in the water, by his own admission, Knievel likely would have drowned, due to a jumpsuit/harness malfunction which kept him strapped in the vehicle. As it was, he survived the failed jump with only minor physical injuries. Also note that this window card was never folded. Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded. Condition: very good to fine. The card has the most minor of border wear. Learn More about condition grades
