Pete,

I am aware of the film but I have never seen it.

Do you know what Ford V-8 autos are in it?

I know of two Ford Hotrods (don't know if they are 1932 models or are A/V-8). I am sure there is a ton of old Fords in the movie. Can you help?

I saw it when it came out and again about 20 years ago.
32 Ford roadsters are the main characters but there are other early Fords because the show is set in the 50's.

Detour (1945) is an odd little movie about a guy who accidentally kills one person and doesn't report the death of another. The main character is picked up by the cops in the last frame but it is not clear that he has been arrested-they pull up while he is walking and he just gets in the back seat of the cop car (a Ford V-8 Sedan). The guy is a victim of circumstances yet somehow the movie wants to make you think he is guilty of murder. He is not. Anyways, some great on locaton road shots of service stations and used car lots. Man, that Lincoln is a good looking car.
