I remember the classic chase scene in Bullitt between the Mustang & the Charger. The Charger had the old Firestone red lines on it which were original equipment. During the various scene takes, the Dodge lost a total of 4 hub caps for the final print. They had three black Chargers to film those scenes and I always wondered how many more caps they actually lost during all the filming of that chase with all the takes and retakes.

According to the book by Matt Stone, there were only two Chargers used in the movie, one 4-speed and one auto. The stunt teams wanted the Charger to get ruffed up and loose hubcaps so the factory steel wheels and hubcaps worked out great!
