on the last ep. of the tv series vegas, there was a 49 or 50 f1 at the scene at the cement plant.

 

Run Forrest Gump RUN!!!!!!

He is chased by a green '51.

 

My 1950 Mercury was used briefly in Moon Shine Highway, i also worked on the set. If any of you have seen this movie. there is a part where Kyle Mcglaclin's Stand in Stunt man drives a 1952 Lincoln into 2 1957 Chev police cars blocking the road and turned both of them 180 degrees, that actually happened, he hit those cars at about 60 MPH.

Then the 49 Merc coupe that blew up that was real I towed that car into the blowup zone by cable hooked to pulleys same principal as a clothes line. The top blew right off the Merc they used 5 lbs of black powder in that sceen, my ears rang for days.

 

I use to own a black 56 F100 that was used in a late 80's Mustang GT commercial. The commercial showed the black Mustang GT flying through some country roads and the guy in the pickup pulls up and asks "which way did he go". Ford payed $1500 to use the truck for that commercial back then. I looked through U-tube for the commercial but couldn't find it.

 

In the episode of the Family Guy where they rip off the Shawshank Redemption there is a pretty good cartoon version of the red monkey face.

 

I got caught in a round of YouTube roulette and came across this. Be advised, have a box of tissues on hand. I did spot a COE and a pickup through my tears.

 

theres a bonus built in the bacardi oak heart comercial.

 

There was a "Chips" episode back in the seventies where they were hold up in an old gas station/store up in the mountains.There was a 55 panel in the attached garage that they got running,broke down the door and drove it down the mountain to the city to get away

 

Not a movie but the TV sitcom Last Man Standing with Tim Allen; Green F100.

 

Back to the Future III - Monkey Face tow truck
The Fog (1980) - Monkey Face F1

 

Reviving a really old thread. Sometimes I just let older movies run on my second monitor at work . Today is Rain Man. Charlie and Raymond stop at an abandoned gas station with a phone booth that miraculously still works. When they pull out, a 52 F-1 is parked beside the station.

 

I had to go look for it because slacker Shane didn't take a screenshot.


You get a good view 2 minutes into this scene

 

The phone booth and truck were props for the movie, I guess, but the abandoned store's still there. The location is waaaay out in the country, but just a few miles from my house. That filming 35 yrs ago was a big deal when I was a kid. Wow, I haven't thought about that in years, I wonder who's truck it was? Now I have a "recreate the scene" photo op idea !

 

Well I learned something new with google maps. I wanted to see if I could find the location. I started with your town. I quickly realized it would be near impossible to find it from your description.
So, I typed in the search Rainman phone booth and it came up with the location.

 

Yeah there are a lot of quirky and interesting things like that with google maps. For example, you can type in "Dale Earnhardt Gravesite" and see exactly where they placed him on his farm or "Jimmy Hoffa Restaurant" and see the last place he was seen alive.
