Many, many shows and movies feature a cop or hitman or other anti-hero who drives a great classic muscle car. The latest is John Wick who drove a Mustang

and a Chevelle

And earned extra points by weilding a Kel Tec KSG.

Others elude me at the moment, but I always think "how does a divorced cop afford such a classic and beautiful muscle car on that salary?"

What about Steve McQueens's last movie "Hunter". The 1951 Chevrolet Styleline Deluxe Convertible he drove and the Firbird that was destoyed in the cornfield.

THANK YOU. I have remembered the chase between the guys in the Firebird (with the dynamite) and the combine harvester, for decades. But I could never remember the movie it came from. I love this place.

The Jeep from The Happening.

Not because the movie was good (it was awful) or because of any great chase scene, but only because I sold them my Jeep.

I always liked the Firebird with the triple hood scoops from Corvette Summer.

Hm. I never saw that movie, but I wonder if this is the same car that Ponch drove on C.H.i.P.S? The triple hood scoops is a big clue.

Ponch's Firebird is the one from Corvette summer. It's a bad guys car in an unrelated episode before he buys it. In late episodes it loses the Formula hood.

I always found it odd that the bad guys in 80s bicycle movies all drove 71 - 72 LTDs.

That's cool, I never knew that. Of course, the Formula hood was the best part.
