For an easy going enjoyable older movie, DC Cab. Its rated R, so send the kids to the other room, but Mr T, Gary Busey, Max Gail, and Bill Maher star
Sounds like a Richard Pryor swearfest, but it's got Checker cabs throughout, car chases, good guys becoming a team and facing the bad guys, solving a kidnapping, and overcoming adversity.Leia Mais

In the movie "The Great Race" you may have liked the "Leslie Special" ... but did you think they'd ever put it in another movie? I'm 1st to notice
above photo via: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=428585&page=733
There are differences, but the grill, hood ornament, and distictive doors are the same. The Leslie Special was made for the movie "The Great Race" and is not a vintage real car, it's a custom built to look like the Thomas Flyer that won the 1907 Paris to Peking race http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/08/winner-of-1907-paris-to-peking.html .Both movies are Warner Brothers Pictures, and that makes it more possible that its the same car... what else would a movie company do with a movie car after the publicity is over for the first movie it was featured in?
http://www.imcdb.org/movie_65446-The-Ballad-of-Cable-Hogue.html demonstrates that no one has identified the car yet on the IMCDB site

WW2 was instrumental in changing the American culture in so many ways, but did you ever hear of car bumpers being donated to the scrap drives?
Rita Hayworth did her part... so if you come across her big old car with no bumpers, now you'll know what happened to them.
For an example of immense largese in donating to the scrap drives, read about Panmsy Yount's 1933 Duesenberg Model J Judkins Berline that was turned over to the war effort for it's use as metal for armor plate, or whatever they did with all that steel

A couple of brass era vehicles from the movie "The Great Scout and Cathouse Thursday" a Lee Marvin movie
Don't know what they are specifically, but the movie was fun to watch, and the antique cars were frequently on screen.A couple of brass era vehicles from the movie "The Great Scout and Cathouse Thursday" a James Coburn movie
Don't know what they are specifically, but the movie was fun to watch, and the antique cars were frequently on screen.The biggest wagon I've ever seen! Might only have been a movie prop, because they blew it to smithereens
Three axles... I've never seen one with 3 axles. This was in the movie "Duck You Sucker" with James Coburn
