Myra Breckinridge agrees.

Uh huh.

Best music for a car wreck? Oh come on:

Two for the Road, with Albert Finney.

That's a '59, not a '58; but that's a blessing in disguise.

Find a 3800-powered '90-'92 Toronado Trofeo and get instant IOE status along with the reliability.

"You got plan, darling?"

Well that was a new one on me; I remember the 1960 Ford was supposed to be half an inch under the limit to be registered as a truck at 81.5" - guess it's fitting you show this one pulling a trailer.

Couldn't find a photo online, but back in 1973 Bobby Unser drove a Rolls Royce Silver Shadow in an event billed as "The World's Richest Demolition Derby" - and lost to a Ford LTD.

Leonid Brezhnev and a Rolls-Royce. How many other dumb celebrity car crashes have been enshrined in a museum with a startled-looking wax figure of the driver?
