It's even still got the "honky lips" graffiti from the ghetto scene on the side of the car! eBay link For those of you who just don't understand the awesomeness of this car, click here.  |  IP: Logged Don Bruechert Mmmmmmmmm, bird!

It made me recall the film, as I showed it for many days when it was first released. Sort of satirizes Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath doesn't it? (I was stationed near Barstow on Route 66 at the edge of the Mohave Desert in the early 1950's) Gerard  |  IP: Logged Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 07-26-2003 11:55 PM                    Wouldn't you much rather have the Turbo Grand Detroit Town Car driven by Steve Martin and John Candy in Planes, Trains and Automobiles?" quote: We had a little fire last night but we managed to catch it in time.  |  IP: Logged
