Re: Old Car Movies
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.

Re: Old Car Movies
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 ) Steve

Re: Old Car Movies
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

Re: Old Car Movies
A newer movie with enough car culture to keep me interested is "Dazed and Confused". Set in '76, but enough late '60's and early 70's muscle to make anyone grin.

Re: Old Car Movies
-------I dont know about you guys but all of us that used to work at Classic Motors used to get together and build partys around seeing "Used Cars". Talking to any of them today you will find out we all still think its hilarious. There arent any chase scenes, but the movie just has so many points of reference for us old car nuts. It was just on a couple of days ago. Catch it if you can and tell me you didnt laugh.........Bill S

Re: Old Car Movies
Another movie that made me
 was McQ with John Wayne.He should have stuck to horses ( the real onese ! ). They destroyed his beautiful 2nd generation Trans Am in that one! Almost made me cry.

Re: Old Car Movies
French Connection still has the best car chase scene I've ever seen.
I also like the Burt Reynolds movie, White Lightning. He had a brown [Chrysler] see-dan with a 426 hemi provided by the FBI.
