What is it? I was convinced it was a Nash Rambler until I looked up the pictures and found my memory is twisted. I think with a little googling or image searching you can find it! It was a Ford, but not in the US
Good luck :-)

In the first panel, the car speaks: "The TV next to me may be Atomically Powered, but I'm Anemically Underpowered."

Those are cool looking prizes. I know I'm too late to the party. I will be working all day while someone finishes this off. Still, a big thank you forgottenhistoryhunt for the chance!

I have received the second correct answer, so congratulations to Winner #2!
Here are a few clarifications:
1. The answer is NOT:
The Cold War The Cuban Missile Crisis The Space Race
2. When you think you have the answer, make sure the two clues so far (Orson Welles broadcasting "War of The Worlds" and the car on TV) make sense to your answer.
3. The 2nd clue is a rebus
Good luck everyone!

Don't you hate it when work gets in the way of fun stuff?! There was a week between the first and second correct answer, so you never know! (and there is always your lunch break to do a little research!)
Good luck!

I wish everyone would donate some of their salary to me and I will quit work and hunt treasure for a living. Maybe a gofundme page.
But yeah, I will look at it later this evening if still going.

Well, I received the third correct answer this afternoon, so the hunt is officially over. The winners are: Z Team, puzzledrifter, and goldhunter, who will each receive one of the "planet" marbles (I know, the Moon is not a planet!).
I want to thank everyone who gave this confusing story a try. I hope you had some fun with it.
Congratulations to the winners, and stay tuned for my Halloween Hunt, which I will release on Friday October the 28th. I will post a teaser and the prizes in a few days to give you a break between hunts!

Oh sure Larry, if the prize was a case of Bourbon you'd be all over it!! The car looks like a 1965 Ford Anglia.

Regarding the two clues I posted:
Orson Welles broadcasting "War of the Worlds" was to show a fake news report. "Alternative 3" was also a fake news report.
The Ford Anglia on the TV screen represented the TV station, Anglia TV. The image I used instead of this one - the atomic symbol, is from the actual documentary.
The globe with brownish areas is from the documentary showing areas of severe drought.
In the picture of the US and Russian flags, they are shown on an image of the far side of the moon - I didn't know if anyone would notice that the features we are familiar with are not present in the image, but wanted to include that as a hint, in case anyone noticed.
Many of the images were taken directly from the film footage of the documentary. If you watch it, you will recognize them.
The final image shows Mars in the distance from the surface of the Moon, showing this was their final destination.

I would join Alternative 3 in a heartbeat if invited. Unfortunately, I am old, fat, and nearsighted so the invitation is not likely to be forthcoming.
