530 viewsAll the player had to do was pick options that would bring the price of the lower priced car (the base model) up to within $100 of the price of the higher priced car, without going over. The car would move along the number scale and the background behind it was on an endless loop, and it would scroll in the opposite direction. As the car was moving a sound not unlike that of Jack Benny's old Maxwell would play in the background.
