Speedway (Elvis movie)

[mdh157]

Watching it now...Elvis is a stock car driver, he drives a Hemi 66 or 67 charger and his co-star, Bill Bixby, drives a brand new 67 Fury convertible, red/red bench seat interior.

Oh, and Nancy Sinatra is in it too...........always a pleasure to see her. And Polara71 prob doesn't know Burt Mustin is in it.

I had it on the tube too......I love the cars in that movie!
I think that was David Pearson's number 6 car Hemi Charger.

Cool car......cool movie too!

Look for Tiny Lund. Winner of the 63 Daytona race. He was from the town I live in. He was killed in an accident at Taledega in 75.

Lot of brand Mopars in those Elvis movies. I scope out the cars almost as the females. Like the women the cars are well optioned too! Heck, i wanted to see more of that Monaco wagon but it got repo'd!

I forget where I got this from, still cool though!

 

[rapidtrans]

Golly! Which one should i take?

I'll take the boat of them! The Chicago folks will understand.

If the 59 caddy in the background is a convertible you'd be a real "Goober" not to take it too!

Dave, I am still trying to find the episode of Adam-12 that has Mustin driving the 70 Polara rag.........cannot remember his name in it but it was such a small part he may not have been credited either.

Dave, I am still trying to find the episode of Adam-12 that has Mustin driving the 70 Polara rag.........

All you had to do was ask.................

 

[polara71]

Hes supposed to be turning 75 in this episode, he kept saying its my birthday..The times sure have changed

interesting how the car is only a year old and the head rests are already gone..........I wonder if the car is gone too? Cannot have been but a few with that color and tilt wheel.

The headrests are gone for a reason and that is so they don't obstruct the cameras line of sight. You need the subject in the car to be seen
