Motion Pictures Old Movie Cars

The ****gy Dog

Fireball 500
Crybaby had some cool car is it too.

 

^^ not a uber fan of the flamed shoebox, just groggy and copied it three times!!

 

Cool stuff

 

Downunder there was a cult movie featuring the number one Aussie icon on four wheels that just happened to be yellow as wel . ( yes, that,s me in my avatar washing dads FJ )

 

Just watched this on YouTube last night…

Goody's Merc in Thunderbolt & Lightfoot …. a 2-dr no less!

 

From the movie " The Worlds Fastest Indian " Burt Munro ( Sir Anthony Hopkins ) in his old Vauxhall in New Zealand.

 

Heres his new car once he arrived in in the U.S.A.

 

Not a movie car. But for cool factor, you can't beat Honey West's Cobra.

 

Mad Men

 

"the mod squad" was a favorite; they got around LA in a '49-'51 mercury woodie. but, when they drove it off a cliff in one episode, i never watched again!

 

Weird wing window?

 

no, just opened all the way

 

A couple of old cl***ics worth mentioning. HARBOR COMMAND and CORONADO 9. Loaded with period cars. Harbor Command has the added plus of period trucks and boats also.

 

Not every man wore a hat...this photo is around 1936, my father in the middle with two friends.. they were about 25 years old...

 

Angela Lansbury driving

 

Same movie. Packard?

 

Lincoln

 

Thanks. Nice looking. What year?

And the one above with the sliding doors, what is that again?

 

Kaiser-Darrin, I think it came out mid-‘50’s. Styled for Kaiser by Dutch Darrin.

 

Very big car or very small human?

 

The movie Diner 1982 featured a character with a two tone Hudson, laughable that they used a 53 Super Wasp with blackwalls in some scenes and a 52 Hornet with whitewalls in others.

 

40 coupe from Rebel Without a Cause and Hot Rod Girl.
I tracked down the original owner/builder, Larry Nichlin and gave him a ride in the custom he built and drove daily when he attended the Art Center College 60 years after he sold it. It was an epic day.

 

The Giant Gila Monster

 

From the sentimental adventures of a Aussie dog movie, Red Dog. A 1961/62 Holden.

 

You know who

 

And the hubcaps stayed put

 

Here are some more movie stills from a hoard I helped clear out a number of years ago.

From "Johnny Dark," starring Tony Curtis (1954):





From "The Cowboy and the Girl," starring John Wayne (1943):



From "EEGAH," starring a 7-foot-tall prehistoric man (1962 and still holds place of pride on the list of "100 Worst Movies of All Time"):

 

The Creeping Terror. 1964
Packard “rat”

 

But the front tire became a black wall in flight..
