I haven’t seen the flic, but his character sounds like the same one from million dollar baby...Not that it would be a bad thing I guess...
I bought a brand new 1976 Gran Torino station wagon (yellow with faux wood siding). It was a great car especially for someone starting a family who had to haul playpens, toys, etc everywhere you went. I had bought a 73 Toyota Celica for $3200 and after 3 years traded it in for the same amount on the Ford.
