The famous vehicles for sale at Barrett Jackson this week
Stallone's Ford F150 that West Coast Customs built for Sly to drive in the movie the Expendables
Bret Michaels 1969 Camaro
Frankencuda http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/11/troy-brumbalows-frankencuda-design-by.html which is said to be int he 5th Fast and Furious movie, and corroborated http://fast-and-furious-5-movie-trailer.blogspot.com/2010/08/fast-and-furious-5-movie-pictures.html but my guess it's just a cameo split second moment... not more than 20 seconds screentime.
Jesse James 1954 Chevy 210 built on his TV show by Gene Winfield, Bill Hines, Dick Dean, Fat Jack, Norm Grabowski and Jesse.
Alan Jackson is selling 3 cars, a 1970 Ram air IV GTO, 1970 Challenger R/T, and a 1967 Vette

For an easy going enjoyable older movie, DC Cab. Its rated R, so send the kids to the other room, but Mr T, Gary Busey, Max Gail, and Bill Maher star

Sounds like a Richard Pryor swearfest, but it's got Checker cabs throughout, car chases, good guys becoming a team and facing the bad guys, solving a kidnapping, and overcoming adversity.Thursday, December 23, 2010
Jackie Gleason and Buick, they sponsored the Honeymooners, and he spent all day on the assembly line building himself one

In the movie "The Great Race" you may have liked the "Leslie Special" ... but did you think they'd ever put it in another movie? I'm 1st to notice
above photo via: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=428585&page=733
There are differences, but the grill, hood ornament, and distictive doors are the same. The Leslie Special was made for the movie "The Great Race" and is not a vintage real car, it's a custom built to look like the Thomas Flyer that won the 1907 Paris to Peking race http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/08/winner-of-1907-paris-to-peking.html .Both movies are Warner Brothers Pictures, and that makes it more possible that its the same car... what else would a movie company do with a movie car after the publicity is over for the first movie it was featured in?
http://www.imcdb.org/movie_65446-The-Ballad-of-Cable-Hogue.html demonstrates that no one has identified the car yet on the IMCDB site









( http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/08/couple-of-brass-era-vehicles-from-movie.html and http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/08/couple-of-brass-era-vehicles-from-movie.html and http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/08/biggest-wagon-ive-ever-seen-might-only.html ),
and I was really surprised to discover this famous car isn't mentioned to have been in a 2nd movie anywhere on the internet. But it is undeniably the same car painted green, and until now, nothing was on the internet about it.

WW2 was instrumental in changing the American culture in so many ways, but did you ever hear of car bumpers being donated to the scrap drives?
Rita Hayworth did her part... so if you come across her big old car with no bumpers, now you'll know what happened to them.http://www.sptimes.com/2005/08/28/Worldwarii/War_changes_fashion.shtml
For an example of immense largese in donating to the scrap drives, read about Panmsy Yount's 1933 Duesenberg Model J Judkins Berline that was turned over to the war effort for it's use as metal for armor plate, or whatever they did with all that steel http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/08/ive-posted-before-about-ww2-scrap.html

The biggest wagon I've ever seen! Might only have been a movie prop, because they blew it to smithereens

Three axles... I've never seen one with 3 axles. This was in the movie "Duck You Sucker" with James Coburn
