Post Trivia Questions

Well this may be a little of the general subject of this forum , its still Ford related. I find myself every year coming up with Automboile questions for a trivia night fund raiser and I like to run these questions buy people , to see how they fair as good or bad. Thought ide run them buy the members of this forum, to test the Ford Knowledge I dont talk much in other forums except this one, beeing that i have gronw to know some of the members in here. Anyway here its goes.(If this is moved to the general topic discussion than thats fine buy me).

1. The Gangsters Bonnie and Clyde Barrow, and John Dillinger prefered this vehicle make and this is obviuosly a Ford. can you tell me why they prefered this vehicle as a get away car of choice??
2What Kind of car Did Starsky and Hutch Drive?
3 What kind of Car did Thelma and Louise Drive off the cliff?
4 In the movie Gone in 60 Seconds, What name did Nicholas Cage refer to the 1967 Shelby Mustang as?

Input on the questions would greatly be appreciated. I try to not only make these questions male orientated, but female too. Not too hard but not so easy.

I like these questions.

1. Not sure, speed?

2. Grand Torismo (Spelling Mistake?)

3. Galaxy Convertible (but was it the 500 model)

4. I saw the movie, but I can't remember the girl's name he gave it.

Welp the questions turned out to be a little harder for the crowd than i thought they would be, very few got em all correct. The answers are as follow:
1.In 34 Clyde Barrow wrote a letter to henry ford complimenting him on his car. This letter can be retrieved through the Henry ford musuem home page incase anyone is interested in reading it. John Dillinger also wrote henry ford and complimented his fords. The actaul answer is becuase of the V-8 motor it had in it.In clyde's words: For sustained speed and freedom from trouble the Ford has got ever other car skinned and even if my business hasen't been strickly legal it don't hurt enything to tell you what a fine car you got in the V8.
2. The starsky and hutch car was a Ford Grand Torino.
3. Thelma and louise's car was a Ford Thunderbird
4. And last but not least, Nick Cage refered to the car as Eleanor or Unicorn.(Unicorn as beeing the one thing he could catch.lol)

Heres the Link for the letter sent to Henry Ford from Clyde Barrow:
