1953 Buick. (So is the other car, strangely.)

Good point. It also has its own IMCDb page:

Well, Michael Sarrazin, Tim McIntyre and Raul Julia are gone now, but I bet Gary Busey would be pretty "interesting" to interview...

Along with Jimmy Durante in It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World:

And a pillared sedan.

which paid no homage to HB Halicki, the original film or the original characters (save for the name, where Eleanor is concerned).

Remember the car was a high school shop project - some kid from the yearbook staff would be using a camera like that.

And Annie Potts as the lovable hooker!

It's alluded to; we have the scene of Toecutter's gang having to steal gas from a moving tank truck, which is a lot harder than just sticking up a gas station - unless the gas stations are running out as well.

White rapper? Check.

This one was at the Lambda Car Club national meet in Chicago back in July:

Hands-down winner: Studebaker. In 1953 they brought out a brand-new platform:

Last of the great TV car hucksters: RIP Cal and your various and sundry Spots. Living in the L.A. area for over 30 years, I always enjoyed those commercials, even if I never bought a car there.

And this one, which Car and Driver called "the last Porsche Speedster" in the early seventies:

So they introduced the '67 Corolla with Edwin Starr's song about having to walk 25 miles home?

Not since about 1954 - I'm afraid to go near it.

The image that keeps coming back to me is the expansive '60s-style post-and-beam rooms that look out on painted vistas. It's like being on the set of a 1960s TV show - where Darrin and Samantha meet Jeannie and Tony and Rob and Laura and Max and 99 for cocktails. If it were in Palm Springs, guys would be fighting over

Up until Jayne Mansfield died in 1967.

A Boy and His Dog: First thing I thought of as well (although Blast from the Past was second). Bravo.
