Those American bumpers do come in handy for something

Video is from a well known movie which I can't remember the name of.

Tail gating a pet hate of mine!


6.9 makes like work of the Ford that's for sure!

The movie is called Lost Highway, very b grade.

And I believe that was a Chevy Citation

Two guys in the backseat could not get there seat belts on quick enough!

Looked like a Ford badge on the grille Michel but I could be wrong?

The guy driving the 6.9 his face is familiar what is his name?

Thanks Tarek.

Robert Loggia that's right he always plays the Mafia boss.

He was also in Armed & Dangerous John Candy starred in as well and Loggia was a Mafia boss in that movie as well.

I would burn that 6.9, with all of the guys in it, not because of the car though...., even though other guy was an idiot. Risk that my comment was taken out of context, because I don't know of the film......

The second car is a Ford Thunderbird.

I stand corrected.
You're absolutely right.

I thought it was a T bird by the grille ornament. What I found interesting was it appears to be a US spec 6.9 by the bumpers, but if you have a close look at the speedo, someone's added MPH at the US speed limits, which indicates a Euro car. What gives??

In movies, practicality takes over lots of times.

As an example, in James Bond's first movie Dr No, he is collected at the airport in a 1957 Chevrolet convertible.
As they accelerate they show you the speedo (as they do...) but it's from a 1957 Ford !!!
Most people would not pick it.

Another one of those (in the same movie).
JB is followed (as he leaves the airport in that 57 Chevy) by CIA people in a 6cyl 1961 Chevy (I know that by the badges on the boot/trunk lid).
Yet when they start the car to follow, you hear the burble of a V8.

I guess in those days, they thought movie goers were suckers and would not pick it...
