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. [/ QUOTE ] There was a cool chase scene in the movie " Aganist All Odds" Where a Ferrari and a Porsche raced across Sunset Blvd. Carey Loftin drove the Ferrari. I think he was in his 70's at the time.

Re: Old Car Movies
The dirty Larry thing was " Dirty Mary and Crazy Larry" with Peter Fonda and some blonde bimbo from Australia. A very similar story line to "Return to Macon County" with Don Johnson and Nick Nolte (probably one of the first movies each one of them made)featured a 57 Chevy with some stupid toggle switch that behaved like nitrous, it is one of the cooler 57's that have been in the movies though. SULLY

Re: Old Car Movies
The movie "Hot Rod" is one of my personal favorites and is usually left out of many 'car movie' lists.
-'65 Hemi Dodge...engine transplanted to Gasser style Willys -'69 Olds (antagonist's car) -Tons of other great drag cars/scenes. I haven't seen it for years but I believe it's listed somewhere on Amazon.
