The crime was what Dukes of Hazzard did to those Chargers.

Ugly Ugly Ugly Ugly Ugly!

Ford is going insane. Every good thing they have they insist on destroying through “change for the sake of change.”

Sad days ahead again.

And the Charger had magnetic hubcaps. Apparently if they fly off when going over bumps, they can seek out the car and reattach themselves.

That is ‘one’ of the Bullitt Mustangs... They probably went through more than a couple making that film.

The old one looks much cooler... And the sad part is, they could make it exactly the same.. So why not do that? Sure, it would take lots of metal, lots and lots of metal, but it would be awesome to and well worth it to have the same vehicle in spanking brand new condition.

There were two used for the movie, the “hero” which is the one in this article, and the “jumper”. The “jumper” was apparently found in a Mexico jumkyard in really rough shape.

2/3 of the cool of the car is the fact that McQueen drove it. That guy created cool.

all while passing the same emerald green VW Beetle several times
I watched the movie a few days ago and I believe I counted the green VW three times.

Green VW Beetle gets in the way in "Dirty Harry" as well.
