Thunder Road

I don't remember seeing this classic when I was young.  I won't go too far into the background of the movie.
Suffice to say Robert Mitchum co-wrote and starred as a moonshine "transporter".  His son James plays his younger brother.  Gene Barry is a "revenuer".

But this is about cars.  Hopped up cars.  Mitchum at first is driving what looks to be a '49 or '50 Ford Tudor sedan.  As I've researched it, it's actually a '51 Ford with a '49 hood and a '50 grille and likely a '50 front clip.  The taillight area gives away the '51.  On the hood you can see where F-O-R-D is removed so that would be a '49 and the front turn lights would suggest a '50.  Regardless, it's cool.

Later, he is driving a '57 Ford Fairlane 500.  Lots of '57 Fords and '57 Chevys in this movie. 

I've included a few pics from the movie.
