Re: Thunder road
You also get a good look at the '51 dash and steering wheel when the detective gets in the car. Hood is a '49. You can see the remnants of the F O R D when Robert Mitchum is working on the engine in the garage. Would really like to know why someone went to all the trouble to piece all of that together.

Re: Thunder road
Hi Guys, Is this the car? When I found the second photo, I think it was on another ford site, it had this caption: "The car is actually a 1951 Ford with a 49 Hood and 50 Grille & park lights."
In the third shot, it doesn't look like that's really in a complete car, the lighting is too good. So they had to have some 'car help.' Possibly when they cut some stuff up to make the sets, they mixed and matched a little. -VT/JeffH |
