    "Red Rock West" features a great action sequence with a '73 Riviera. I've got one frame as my avatar. Great stuff!

    And that is exactly my car. (At least the outside.) Maybe that's why the frame seems saggy.

    "Me Myself and Irene" a 68 LeSabre 4 door hardtop.

    For those who like Buicks so much that they don't care about the language used in the movie :grin: :
    A french movie from 1968 "L'homme la Buick" with a 67 Skylark.
    Another french language movie (french canadian this time) "The Rape of a Sweet Young Girl" with a 67 Skylark Convertible.
    A strange french-Canadian movie from 1976 "L'Eau Chaude, L'Eau Frette" for 1971 Centurion Convertible fans.

    I used to have a '61 Invicta which was used in the movie "Patch Adams" with Robin Williams. It was in a scene that only lasted a few seconds and showed the right rear of the car.

    "lovers lane" was some flop made in washington- it had that rocker wife Courtney Love in it. never got to see it. I have the 73 electra from it. they broke the left rear window in the movie i was told and the top had red oxide primer brushed on it..

    Used Cars

    The opening of Used Cars involves Kurt Russell rolling back the mileage of his personal Buick Centruion convertible and baiting a customer to buy it. This is a highly underrated comedy with plenty of classic cars from the 50's, 60's and 70's. Here's the dialog of selling the car:

    Where are you going, pal? Come on back here!

    Hi there! How you doing?

    This your ten dollars? I saw it floatin' underneath there
    Here you are. What's your name?

    - Stanley Dewoski.

    What a coincidence! Rudy Polanski. I like that watch... great shoes!

    - Thanks.

    So, you want to buy this Buick, huh? You got good taste. Nice to see somebody on this lot who knows a good car when he sees one. So...we write it up?

    - Actually, i was just looking.

    Hey, terrific! Here you can look, browse, taste, smell, do anything you want. Nobody's gonna pressure anybody around here.......I really think you ought to buy this buick. You ought to buy it right now. This buick is you. This is your car! Stanley Dewoski is Buick Centurion convertible. You're thinking, "can I afford to buy a car like this?" You can't afford not to buy a car like this. When you add this whole thing up, you'll come out dollars ahead. The prestige of owning a Buick Centurion can't be measured in dollars and cents.

    Ken's Wildcat is a '66 2 door hardtop. This one is a black '65 4 door hardtop in bad shape, just like mine! Mine even makes a lot of blue smoke like this one when I drive it fast for a few minutes... I'm wondering what causes that? Bad valve seals (I mean valve guides), worn rings or could it be the PCV valve? My 67 Riv did that a few times too with a freshly rebuilt engine...
