Slicks in Movies

Has anyone seen Slicks in any movies? Two that come to mind are a '65 converted to a fifth wheel setup that pulled an airport passenger trailer in the movie The Spy Who Came In From The Cold and I seem to remember a '66 that gave Clint Eastwood a ride in one of the Any Which Way You Can movies.

Any others you can think of?

i believe you can catch a glimpse of one in Gone in 60 Seconds (the new one with Nicholas Cage). when he comes out of the bar that Sway works at and runs into Johnny B. They throw him up against a car and i think the slick is parked on the other side of that car. i think you could only see the top of the cab.

There's a 66 in sweet home alabama (it's a little on the chick flick side) And there's a slick in the kids movie homeward bound. They are both in rough shape, but play "big" roles.

Lets see slicks in movies

How bout in Terminator when arnie runs over the corn binder being methodical and killing the first Sarah Conner. White slick in background.

Trucker in Any which way you can throwing one of the bikers accross the back of a white slick.

In the series Kingpin on NBC a pedigreed 66 used as the mule to move the product accross the border.

In How the west was won a Uni on the california freeway in the closing few minutes.
