Buzz Kehoe's Ford Sedan Interior

The cramped cabin of Buzz Kehoe's black Ford sedan races through Shanghai's chaotic streets, roof ripped open from Indiana Jones's crashing leap. Indy sprawls across the back seat, bruised and gripping the golden headpiece, wind whipping through the jagged hole as bullets ping off the chassis behind. Kehoe white-knuckles the wheel, engine roaring, while the two men plot their urgent dash to the airfield and onward to Nepal. Exhaust fumes mix with sweat and cordite, the space vibrating with speed and narrow escape.
