Title: Spotted a Hertz car in a movie
Post by: Steve McDonald Formally known as Mcdonas on July 03, 2019, 07:00:46 PM
It was our Anniversary and the wife said she wanted to snuggle and watch a movie, but no cars, space stuff or killings. That sort of limited choices, so I decided on "Love Story" because Ali MacGraw was in it , and she was at one time Mrs. Steve McQueen. Imagine my surprise when the wife's yells out "rewind it, I saw a Shelby". Sure enough it's the scene where Ali Mac Graw has locked herself out of the house and there's a Black/Gold Hertz car parked in front of the place they are renting. I think it's at about 51 minutes into the film.
So the movie wasn't about cars, but after 41 years of putting up with me the wife knows how to look for a Shelby, she also does a damn fine job of detailing and waxing the car at shows, I'll think she's a keeper  ;D

That's it. Now I can see the great detectives we have decipher the VIN based upon the picture. I know for sure it's not mine

OK, it's a Hertz car but what kind of bicycle is that? :o

Don Wells had the Grand Prix car that Garner drove in the movie. I wonder if he knew that when he owned it?

Can someone save the images from the link in reply No. 2 on this SAAC thread?  That link could disappear and we would lose the image.

I cannot do from work.

Thanks

Can't tell which manufacturer, but it looks like the front forks are shock absorbed :o

Cory, just right click and save the images.  Also, I'd say the photos aren't going anywhere since they're under the IMCDB
