Kirk Douglas during the filming of Disney's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea takes his sons Joel and Michael for a ride on an Ihle Schottenring car


20,000 Leagues Under the Sea was filmed by Disney in 1954, and this pic was taken July 9, 1954. The movie was released July 20, 1955.

Construction started on Disneyland in 1954, and opened July 17, 1955.

Steve dug into researching the car Kirk Douglas is on, and it turns out he's on a Ihle Schottenring test mule.
