I have taken a punt on this one as the Atlas was new on the US market in April 1962. I am not sure if we can really be sure just which model Norton these bikes are as the 650 and 750 models all look the same. |

The Nortons in the movie were provided by Paul Collins, father of Bo Derek. He was a motorcycle dealer in Redondo Beach, CA. His "Continental Imports" opened in 1960, and claimed to be the largest Honda dealer in Southern California. He also sold Norton, Royal Enfield, and Indian. Link to "www.torranceca.gov" |
