Re: How about a movie thread? Car related?
If my cars fixed themselves like Christine did, I might actually get some cruisin' in!

Re: How about a movie thread? Car related?
There were several 50 Fords used in Thunder Road. The most prominent one is the black one used in the speed shop scene and used in the roll over scene (bumper snatcher scene); however, the one actually rolled in the first scene is a 51 with a 50 front clip and a 55 T-Bird y block engine with three 94 carbs. The roll over was not intended and when it occurred it delayed filming for a week while repairs were made. The color was changed from black to light gray and later scenes even show over spray paint on the left rear wheel. The 51 that was blown up in the gas station scene along with the 49 Mercury were procured from a local junk yard, stripped of running gear and interior and rigged with explosives for the scene which was staged in a set built to look like a local gas station. If you will look closely you can see in the scene just before the explosion a cable attached to the Mercury which was used to pull it over into the gas pumps at the point of the explosion. The gray 51 with 50 front clip was returned to California and used by Jim Mitchum for a while and then sold to another high school kid who supposedly cut out the fender wells, and added a blower to the engine and then drove the hell out of it. More than likely it wound up in a junk yard, sadly to say.

I'll add one to the thread. Just watched "the two jakes" a few nights ago. Jack Nicholson and is a sequel to "Chinatown". Movie isn't all that great. But a lot of nice 30s - 50s cars.

How about "Flim-flam man" with George C. Scott. There's lots of different makes of cars and trucks and if you look real close you will see a yellow and white 1960 Ford Starliner. Great movie also.
