Lincolns in the movies and TV

[larrys 62 53A]

Guys, you just gotta look at this! Like wow!

Watch the one where Dave Garroway (he was a legit car nut) waxes rhapsodic about the 53 Corvette and notice, wouldn't that be a lot less tiring to drive if it had radial tires?

Love this one Dan. I have it in my favorites. What an era! I wonder how people get their hands on this old video / commercials.

I wonder how people get their hands on this old video / commercials.

I found a 16mm film version of it on E-bay years ago and had it converted to DVD to post to YouTube. Still have the film.

December 30, 2015: MeTV was showing CHiPs.

Lo and behold! A wonderful 1973 Lincoln modified with a grille that looks like its from a Mark IV.

However, when they side-swiped the bad guys, the car mysteriously changed into a 67!

I don't see the rear door handle in the last pic so I'm guessing it is a 67 coupe and not a sedan.

Thank you, MeTV.

Bump for visibility!

A 1963 film, "The Old Dark House," starred Robert Morely and Tom Poston. Set in England, Peter Bull's character Caspar orders a Lincoln Continental from car salesman Poston, saying, "I've always wanted a foreign car." Har, har."Is it a good car?" he asks. "The best, Caspar." That always stuck with me. Peter Bull played the Russian Ambassador in Dr. Strangelove. Poston was a fixture on To Tell the Truth for many years.

I came across this video of a Bruce Lee scene in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood:

Notice the blue car he dents.

The dents are CGI.

1968 Continental Sedan. I don’t think it’s a factory color.

The dents are CGI.

Finally, a legitimate use of CGI in the movies.

Did anyone mention the Matt Helm movies with Dean Martin driving a Marl III off road?

After 30 pages, it's hard to find a movie that hasn't been mentioned, but "The Notebook" has a nice '41. It is definitely a chick flick, but "happy wife, happy life", right?
