Is that photo from a movie?
Yes indeed it is, 'The California Kid' (1974) one of Sheen's best early works IMHO, the plot is set in 1958, Sheen plays the protagonist, the owner and driver of a '34 Ford 3-Window Coupe, the antagonist is Vic Morrow playing the role of a maniac sheriff who rams speeders from behind and then over a cliff, Sheen ends up baiting the bastard, tunes his suspension to a gnat's eyelash, out-drives the sheriff, the sheriff goes over the cliff in view of a state police officer who was tipped to the nefarious activities, a VERY good film that I heartily recommend.

Vic Morrow .... Combat! This show kept me glued to the TV screen as a child.
