I have always like IMCDB (Internet Movie Car Data Base)
Boss, Sprink...Thanks for posting those, really interesting. I had never heard of the movie car data base. I've got a friend who owns two 300 4 drs that were in a disney movie. I looked, they weren't listed.
You should add them. What movie?
The first season of Andy Griffith show number 3.

Zap- :unitedstates:
Ford was the car sponsor for most of the Perry Mason seasons.

I'll have to do some research..It was a Disney movie....the (something) Green story I think. They were police cars in the movie. When disney returned the cars, they offered Glenn to repaint them, as they had been "flash" painted black for the movie. Glenn told them just to leave them as they were in the movie. If you look at the chrome, you can see where the black paint is falling off.
One of my favorite shows of all time "North by Northwest".
Wasn't it a 57 that got shoved into the pond in "Psycho" ?
I seem to remember an episode of Twilight Zone that had a few..
There was a recent Clint Eastwood movie called "A Perfect World". Had a 57 right on the movie poster.

Yes
A Perfect World,. With Kevin Costner and Clint Eastwood.If you have never seen it. do so. Great Film.
"Leave it To Beaver". Ward drove a '57 for awhile.
One of the James Bond Movies they ruined a Retractable.
"Adventures of Ford Fairlane" Andrew Dice Clay.
Te recent "Masters of Sex" on Showtime had a Reteractable as a main character car.
In the final scene of Two-Lane Blacktop, where the 55 Chevy and the black SS El Camino set up a race at the old airport, you can see two or three cars in the background One is a black 57 Ford Custom Tudor, possibly a straight axle front end. I have a screen capture of it somewhere, when I find it I will post it. Incidentally, that movie is one of my favorite car movies of all time, and that final race scene was filmed just across the river from my house in Tennessee, about 15-20 miles or so.

No pressure, but that would be cool to see the straight axle. I'll keep checking every 10 minutes! And like I said, no pressure. HRD
I asked this before on another thread, Remember when Andrew Dice Clay movie came out and they showed him beating the crap out of it and then blowing it up on the previews. I threw up and never saw the movie! Did they blow up a nice conv.?
There was a James Bond movie where Pierce Brosnan was in Cuba and he was driving brown and white 57 Fairlane. (Not sure if it was really filmed in Cuba or not).

Love that movie, have a copy and have watched it many times. I'll try to watch the end later to check it out.

They gave that old 55 a paint job, removed the roll bar, put in roll up windows and was a big star in American graffiti.
Guys:
If you have NETFLIX you can probably catch some of my friends 57 and other Fords in the TV series Vegas.. Unfortunately for him the show was cancelled and he only got them in for the one season. His 57 is this one, photo taken at the 2012 Knott's Fabulous Fords Forever show.
Bob
57 AGIN
I really liked that show for the cars. Then I started to like the plot. Then it got cancelled. I hate when that happens.
I agree, that was one of the newer shows I took the time to watch. Seems like alot of Dumb shows these days
When I find my copy of TLB again, I will get a better screen capture of it. This is one I snapped a long time ago, and it was very low res, taken from a VHS that was very worn. I have a new DVD now, and will be able to even get a bigger higher res screenshot. When watching the movie, you can see it more clearly tell what it is, which is why I noticed it to begin with...
Nice, I have never noticed it before. Thanks for sharing
There are at least 3-4 57 Fords in the recent Disney movie "Saving Mr. Banks" including a Ranchero.

In the airport scene towards the end, the same blue hardtop passes twice.

I get the same way, look for stupid stuff in the movies. Especially movies about the military or military themed.
