Alfred Dunhill is a British design house specializing in men's clothing, luxury goods and accessories. The business began when Alfred Dunhill, just 21 years of age, took over his father's saddlery business, in 1893. The automobile was an exciting new piece of technology being developed at the time, and Dunhill transformed the saddlery into an automobile accessories store. Among the company's first offerings were such non-standard accoutrements as horns, lamps and dashboard clocks. Dunhill also made leather overcoats, goggles and other accessories for drivers.

Gradient lenses are sunglasses that have lenses tinted from the top down, so that the top of the lens is darkest. ... They are good for driving, because they shield your eyes from overhead sunlight and allow more light through the bottom half of the lens so you can see your dashboard clearly.

Elizabeth Taylor in The Driver's Seat (1974) 

Also known as Identikit, this Italian adaptation of Muriel Spark’s 1970 novella is the holy grail for late Liz fans. Never even released in the UK, it was Taylor’s first film with no US backing, and boasts her most extraordinary – yet least seen – performance. As the disturbed Lise, flying south to Rome in search of the “perfect boyfriend”, her portrayal of a psyche fracturing against a backdrop of immense social change is remarkably true to Spark’s vision, but was met with howls of disbelief before sinking with barely a trace. A cult classic in the making, it features Andy Warhol in a dubbed cameo as an English lord.

LIFE! Do you hear me? | Gene Wilder 1974

From that fateful day when stinking bits of slime first crawled from the sea and shouted to the cold stars, "I am man!," our greatest dread has always been the knowledge of our mortality. But tonight, we shall hurl the gauntlet of science into the frightful face of death itself. Tonight, we shall ascend into the heavens. We shall mock the earthquake. We shall command the thunders, and penetrate into the very womb of impervious nature herself.

Hit Me with a Flower | Vicious Lou in Paris '74

Vicious
You hit me with a flower
You do it every hour
Ohh, baby you're so vicious

Vicious
You want me to hit you with a stick
But all I've got's a guitar pick
Huh... baby you're so vicious

When I watch you come
I just want to run far away
You're not the kind of person
Around whom I want to stay

When I see you comin' down the street
I step on your hands and I mangle your feet
You're not the kind of person that I wanna meet
Oh, baby, you're so vicious

Vicious
You hit me with a flower
You do it every hour
Ohh, baby you're so vicious

Vicious
Hey, why don't you swallow razor blades
You must think I'm some kinda gay blade
But baby, you're so vicious
When I watch you comin'
I just have to run
You're not good and you certainly aren't very much fun
When I see you walkin' down the street
I step on your hand and I mangle your feet
You're not the kind of person that I even wanna meet
'Cause you're so vicious

-Vicious, Transformer , Lou Reed

Blank Frank | Brian Eno, 1974

Blank frank is the messenger of your doom and your destruction
Yes, he is the one who will set you up as nothing
And he is one who will look at you sideways
His particular skill is leaving bombs in peoples driveways.

Blank frank has a memory thats as cold as an iceberg
The only time he speaks is in incomprehensible proverbs
Blank frank is the siren, hes the air-raid, hes the crater
Hes on the menu, on the table, hes the knife and hes the waiter

"Blank Frank"
Here Come the Warm Jets
Brian Eno, 1974
