Watching the movie Christine

[Venturous Randy]

It is hard to believe this movie is the same age as my 83 Venture. Not much into spooky movies, but being a car guy, this one was interesting. It is about a 58 Plymouth.

I always thought that was a hilarious movie.

[Yammer Dan]

I liked it. My first car was a 59 Plymouth.

I have watched that movie several times, and just finished watching it again.

 

It's different...

 

Have you ever watched the movie RATH........ ?

[Venturous Randy]

I wonder how many 58 Plymouths they used making this movie?

Very good movie. I liked it a lot, neat movie. I did not see it being hilarious though, I don,t get that. Now the car show with David Hasselhof called "Night Rider", that show was rather funny sometimes. The car was called Kit.

Never saw the Wraith movie though, or heard of it.

According to the IMDB, approximately 25 1957 and 1958 Plymouth Belvederes and Furys were used in making the movie and 13 to 16 of them were destroyed. The '57 and '58 Plymouths were quite similar with the biggest difference being 4 headlights on the '58 as opposed to 2 headlights and 2 "running lights" on the '57. It was really easy to make a '57 look like a '58. The external differences between Belvederes and Furys (Furies?) was mostly in chrome trim and paint jobs.

Yah! That movie was camp! Always loved late 50's Mopar, had a '57 Dodge D500 I wish I still had even though one side was caved in slightly.

 

Reminds me of another schlock movie from the same time era called "The Car" Beep bipbipbip Beep...

[flb_78]

The book is even better.

[Caveman]

I liked the movie "The Car" looks like an old modified Lincoln.

[bongobobny]

Yes, as a matter of fact it was a Lincoln MK3 customized by George Barris himself, creator of the original Batmobile and the Munster's hot rod to name a few. The car is now in someone's private collection...
