Never noticed before
I was bored the other day and Back to the Future 3 was on tv. Near the start when they are pulling the Delorean out of the old mine, they use a monkey face tow truck. Made me sit up and take notice!
Any other movie monkey faces out there?

The internet movie car database website has a lot of them. Here's a link to a few.

There's a lot there, but here's one I didn't see. This below '59 was in the movie The Border and was driven by Jack Nicholson. It was originally a service vehicle owned by Universal Studios and was bought by my buddy Rusty almost 10 years ago. Here's pics from the movie, and a pic of Rusty with it a couple years ago. Today it's undergoing another restoration and when seen again will be a copper/cream paint scheme. And yeah, today it's a '57! Stu

That link is really cool. I'm not sure I saw one of my all-time favorite F-1 scenes in Shawshank Redemption. The scene where Morgan Freeman hitches a ride in the back of an F-1 up to that hay field where Andy hid that box of money.

I really like watching old movies for the cars and trucks in them when they were contemporary vehicles. It's just neat to see them in their proper day. One of my favorites it the 56 F-250 in Alfred Hitchcock's, "The Birds." Especially the scene where the old lady goes racing up to the house and bails out almost before it stops moving, and you see the truck lurch from dumping the clutch too soon.

For those of you with kids, the TV show Victorious had an episode where they were in a foreign prison and escaped in a "Duck truck" it was a 54 Ford. They covered all the Ford emblems with ducks. My 7 year old didn't really appreciate me rewinding the show to get a better look at the truck.
