A Look at John Wayne's Pontiac Firebird: The Unique Color That Set It Apart

Cool,reminds of Chips,Ponch’s Gold Forumla.That was a pretty cool car and I liked Gary Buesey’s yellow Camaro,in the Gumbball Rally.Liked when he threw it up on two wheels.I remember the episode when Ponch’s car burned.🫣

From a Grade B movie, and that is being nice, second feature at the Drive-in (remember those). Movie was titled "Hot Rods from Hell". The main bad guy, leader of the hot rod gang drove a '60 Vette with missing front bumper and straight axle. I've only seen it twice, once at a Drive-In in the early 70's and again on an obscure cable channel around 2005. Was filmed in B&W and totally cheesy plot line. Gang harasses a family traveling through the Nevada desert, one pre-teen son and of course an attractive late teens daughter. Law was more interested with Betty at the diner, so Dad had to take matters into his own hands.  There were some other pretty cool cars, but the leader had to have the coolest.

Also like Wayne's "Brannigan" movie. That little Capri got a work out.

Not exactly my #1 (that is already stated) but I am sure this one is the fave of many others... John Milner's 32 from American Graffiti.

"Little" is right - supposedly they used a Matchbox (or Corgi?) Capri for this shot:

Based on the 1956 short story "Fifty-two Miles to Terror" by Alex Gaby; available at archive.org:

The story makes the narrator more of a jerk who starts the trouble with the kids in the hot rod. By the way, I highly recommend this book. Great stories in it.

I can't choose just one favorite car from a movie because there are so many great cars. Some of my choices are:

The Skyline from Fast Five.
Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34) de Fast & Furious

Almost any Charger. B)

The one from Bullitt.
1968 Dodge Charger \- Bullitt

The General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard.
1969 Dodge Charger "General Lee" \- The Dukes of Hazard

The Chargers from the Fast and Furious saga.
 

And last but not least, the Chevy Van from The A-Team.
1994 Chevrolet Chevy Van as GMC Vandura
