Gee, I hope I'm not posting too late on this as I seldom stray into here.
Let's see; my favourite of them all has to be Vanishing Point and I can
see that it's been mentioned. Well some of the others that I like haven't been
so here are some additions; The Lively Set, 1964. James Darren, Doug McClure.
It's the only movie I can think of that has the Chrysler Turbine car and Mickey
Thompson sharing some of the driving scenes.
White Lightning, 1973. Burt Reynolds. If you listen very carefully to the dialogue
while Burt looks under the hood of his new Ford "blocker" he says "429 with two
four barrel carburettors". Lots of nice driving in this flick.
Fear is the Key, 1972. Barry Newman. The same guy who drove the Challenger
in the original Vanishing Point. This time he does a chase scene that lasts not
quite fifteen minutes in a Ford Torino. The rest of the movie is "who dunnit".
The Seven-Ups, 1973. Roy Scheider. Mostly a cops and robbers flick; it has a
pretty well done chase scene that really "cements" the movie.
The two cars used in the chase scene were both Pontiacs.
A 1973 Pontiac Grand Ville and a 1973 Pontiac Ventura Sprint. Very nice.
