First thing I noticed too; wife didn't like the that I had to rewind (seems like the wrong word now-a-days) the movie to take a second look.

I wondered, like Karl, about the wiper set-up.

Don't know why; but standing on the hood bothered me more than the bullet holes.

Driven by Whiskey Pete's many times but never knew it was there. Next time, we will stop in to see it.

I believe he stood on the cowl not the hood.

Does it really matter if it was the cowl instead of the hood? The point is he's standing on the car.

Think about it guys! I've seen them wreck lots of cars in movies. They can easily afford it. If they want to rent my car and stand on the hood, they can if they fix it and repaint it properly. (My car has a 30 year old re-paint that looks good from a distance, bit is a little "long in the tooth".)

Tubman, I'm not sure I'd want to own the 3rd down charger they used in the jump sequences on the Dukes of Hazard. The beauty shot car yes. But all those cars were studio owned.



It was always funny to hear tire durnout squeals from the tires on dirt on that show.

A few years ago Flathead Ted told me about a 34, possibly for sale , that was driven by Johnny Depp in the Dillinger movie. It had "Bullet" holes in it that needed removal -The studio used a punch to make them !-Karl

Look again guys, only the tan Bonnie and Clyde Fordor was a deluxe. The black Fordor was a standard (all standard window moldings, standard dash, one sun visor, and lift-the-handle door locks) with cowl lights added and a plated windshield frame. I agree with Michael that the added '33 door pulls were weird, especially where they put them.

I'm surprised no one mentioned franks truck here from the movie.

[Gary-UK]

Anyone else think the first car in the movie is on radials?

Good film though, we enjoyed it. Some of the in motion cinematography of the black Fordoor was excellent!

cast-iron and chrome heaven forget the story just enjoy the eye candy

Excellent movie! Makes me want a 34 though!

I've watched this 8 times.... so far! Yeah, it's a slow mover at times but the all the 34's were sweet. I have a '33 deluxe and was hoping to spot one somewhere in the film. Even a Model B would've been nice to see.
I agree that the scene when Hamer stood on the front end made we wince.
The other nitpick I have is that the main '34 only had 1 visor and it was mounted wrong. Upside down. Yikes.

I didn't notice the visor but as it was a standard it would have only had one visor anyway -I need to look at the mounting -Karl

I once bought a Model A hood from the Sherriff of Altus,OK. It had been shot full of holes on both sides with a Thompson .45. On the good side, the holes had explosive charges in them with wires coming out on the inside. The outside was puttied and painted. The car had been used in a movie and the opposite side charges had already been set off in sequence to replicate being hit by sub machine gun fire.
