Don’t forget about the 55’ Chevy that was in Two Lane Black Top and American Graffiti. Dual carbs, big block, four speed, with tilt fiberglass front end… how can you beat that...

Forgot about that movie, somehow James Taylor and car flix just don't seem to go together, wasn't one of the beach boys in it as well???? Harrison Ford's 55 in "Graffiti" was pretty cool too....

From what I heard the 55 in both of these movies was the same car.

How about the Munster's Coach and Grandpa's coffin dragster??

Always loved the Monkeemobile and Batmobile too.
