Gran Torino

Just saw the new Clint Eastwood movie, Gran Torino. Typical Clint Eastwood flick. Clint drives a 71 or 72 Ford pick-up, and of course the mint '72 Gran Torino from the title, complete with reflective stripes.

I think the ultimate Ford truck flick was Mr. Majestic. Any body old enough to remember that one? Can you think of a better one?
