    I found it funny that you put "spoiler alert" for a 35 year old movie. Then I thought "hey wait, I like Scorsese movies and I haven't seen this." So instead of clicking play I'm moving on over to my Netflix queue.

    The Mitchum Thunder Road 1950 Ford - sublime...

    But nothing from Johnny Law's stable?

    I submit...

    Captain Dan Matthew's (Mr. Broderick Crawford to you) 1955 Buick from "Highway Patrol" - pix is of a reproduction - couldn't find a good one of the real deal.

    @eleminop: This is a Murilee list. If you are going to have a car form The Wraith it ain't going to be the "Turbo Interceptor".

    How about Billy's Spitfire 1500?
    Or Packard's Vette with the wonderously tacky "turbo" hood, and the fixed headlight conversion?
    Or Skank's Barracuda, with it's fighter plane motif?
    I think those three get the nod over the yellow T/A (I forget the name of the bandana'ed douche who drove that one), or Augie Fisher's red Daytona.

    Now that I think about it, Murilee might even show some love for Loomis' Diplomat.

    Even Rughead's GMC was pretty bad ass.

    All in all, an excellent car film, even if it was a thinly veiled Dodge commercial.

    @smalleyxb122:Thanks man. If you think about it, the entire movie hinged on that car. I mean, Ferris' parents bought Jeannie a car, but got Ferris a computer. He didn't have a car of his own, so he had to "borrow" Cameron's dad's Ferrari, and, well, you know the rest.

    You need to add Duel, that early Spielberg film starring Dennis Weaver. It's too much car film even for car freaks. I mean, that's all it is about. Driving your car.

    @FP - in black for the Jezebel Nine: Well, I'm stumped, but I guess it's some sort of captive import like a Hillman(Plymouth) Avenger or Cricket.

    What's odd is I know that the car right in front of it was a '67-'69 Dart, and it was only on screen for half a second.

    Oh, Murilee, now you've gone and done it. Philistine! A Mulliner-Park Ward Rolls convertible "epitomizes bad taste" and is "horrifying"? Yet you get all soft and squishy about a chandelier-ed '77 Caddy? Bite your tongue (or your fingers as the case may be)!

    OK, given the cold light of day and a moment's reflection, maybe the slanted-eye version isn't the prettiest thing around, but I wouldn't kick one out of my garage.

    @tonyola: Did I say that horrifyingly bad taste wasn't a good thing? No!

    Hmmm... that suggests a personality test question: Which Caddyshack character do you identify with most strongly? I'm sort of torn between Czervik (Dangerfield) and Spackler (Murray)... but I think most of my friends would say I'm definitely a Carl Spackler.

    Wow, the world just keeps getting smaller. I lived just a couple doors down from those warehouses from '85-'87 right there on Glascock. Too bad Murilee wasn't there a couple of years earlier, she could have gotten my red '63 Plymouth Valiant 4 door with the red interior ;)
