Default Old Car Movies

I read the post for best moonshine movie and got an idea. My Wife and I love to collect old car movies. We used to watch The Lost Drive-in all the time before it was dropped. Why not start a list of great old movies for everyone? I can't remember all the names of the movies, but I'm hoping some people might know a few. If everyone can come up with one title or more there will be a lot of movies to watch. I'll start off with a few that we have. King of the Mountain, with Dennis Hopper and Harry Hamlin, Grand Theft Auto and Eat My Dust with Ron Howard. Of course have Corvette Summer and Vanishing Point. I know there were a lot with Joe Namath, but have no clue of the names. Anyone?

So many great Car movies come to mind,but if there was one Movie that I had to pick,I think it would have to be Steven Spielberg's 1971 movie,"DUEL".
That movie really kept me riveted to the screen in enjoyment.I thought it was one of the best scripted,acted and visually acceptable movies from beginning to end.

BTW..
The stuntman who drove that tractor/trailer in this movie,was the great Carey Loftin.Seen here on the far right,next to George Barris on the set of "The Munsters".

"As a stunt driver and stunt coordinator, Carey Loftin helped create some of the most exciting and famous chase sequences in history. His body of work spans 5 decades and includes classics like The French Connection, Bullitt, Vanishing Point all the way up to more modern favorites like Used Cars and Days of Thunder. When Loftin worked on Bullit, his fellow stuntmen said "Carey Loftin was easily the best car man in the business..." And that fact was proven time and again throughout his lifetime. He died in 1997 at the age of 83.

Barry Newman did a movie right after Vanishing Point,cant' remember what it was called,but he thoroughly trashed a red 72 Torino GT.

What was the name of the movie from the mid-1970's that
featured a guy & girl team ( crime spree ) and in the end
they were killed in a Charger ( I believe ) trying to beat
out a train at a R-R corssing. Something like crazy Larry
& dirty Jane....... Anyone remember?

Bullit was one of my all time favorites. McQueen
I also liked Stingray ( w/ the black C2 Vette )

Way to go Chuck!

WOW - look at that. I got three out of the four
words in the title correct. Can't believe it.

I guess I'm not that old - YET
