Old Film Clip Needed

OFF TOPIC

I need a certain 'clip' for a project.

There is a semi - famous old, old scene of a model T (or similar) car driving down the street safely while causing accidents all around.

I thought it was The Keystone Cops, but I can't find it under any keywords for that on Utube.

I checked Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin scenes, nothing.

I'm drawing a blank on keywords for it. Usually I have no problems finding stuff. Mental brain fart on this one tho.

Anyone know who it is and where I can find it?

Any help would be appreciated.

You might find something at Vintage and Historical Stock Footage - HD, Film, Video, and Digital Archive Holdings - eFootage

This was the closest thing I could find according to your description:

More here:

There's a funny clip here, but not quite what you want:

Good luck in your search.

Edit: is Buster Keaton a candidate for this genre?

  Yea Bill I looked under Buster Keaton...didn't find it.
  
  Definitely the right era.
  
  It's a clip I saw quite a few times years ago. It's not rare I don't think.
  
  I wonder if any of those old clips are actually Public Domain by now.
  
  That just reminded me of a PD site I should check.
  
  I'll post it for reference once I find it on my HD.
  
  Some people don't realize that there are some pretty good old movies and not so old movies, perfectly legal to download.
  
  I was surprised to find Marlon Brando's One Eyed Jacks on one

HAROLD LLOYD'S FORD - Stock Footage

Good luck in your search.

Thanks Val...interesting site, I bookmarked it...not the cheapest people around, but some interesting clips. They must sell to pro studio's or something.

Harold Lloyd...now see that's a name I had forgotten to look under. So thanks for that too.

This clip is actually seen so much, it should be on Youtube.

Just having a brain stoppage.

Thanks
