Motion Pictures The Wild Ride

This movie is worth checking out. It’s free on Prime Video if you have that. It’s from 1960, and starring a very young Jack Nicholson. There is also a lady in it who I’m pretty sure drove the Volkswagen in “American Graffiti”. It’s not a fun , feel good movie, but it has a lot of really good footage of period correct hot rods and race cars.

 

The model A with the checker painted deuce grille is the best part of the whole movie.

 

That movie set the stage for the nice guy roles he made his career on.

 

Thought I spotted a hemi in one of the cars. Looks like four pipes and a fat head. Or Ardun perhaps?

 

I think it might be a Desoto..
