Frank Elder Posted May 21, 2009 Report Posted May 21, 2009 Typical hollywood prep, not as good as Rodney's cars! NO meter, rust, cheesey velvet interior, and what's up with that crazy engine scheme Sweet lookin' on the outside though. Quote
Cpt.Fred Posted May 21, 2009 Report Posted May 21, 2009 you forgot the nice and very authentic radials... nice movie, though. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted May 21, 2009 Report Posted May 21, 2009 is this a hollywood prop flash bang job? must have gotten a paint by number kits and thought he had to use every color ont the engine..or maybe he had it in the Easter parade before the movie...needs door seals..noticed the lack thereof on the photo..also a screw of two missing in the garnish..but I do like the exterior color scheme..

Frank Elder Posted May 21, 2009 Author Report Posted May 21, 2009 In the dash picture check out the rust on the interior driver's side door. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted May 21, 2009 Report Posted May 21, 2009 is that rust or the remains of weather strip glue...no weather strip there..not much attention to detail in that area for sure..this area is not really prone to rust so my guess was glue and maybe a bit of old rubber left behind when they ripped the weatherstrip off..

dirty dan Posted May 21, 2009 Report Posted May 21, 2009 I'm sorry, but I'd have to do something about that engine! Quote
Cpt.Fred Posted May 21, 2009 Report Posted May 21, 2009 as mr.jagger said: paint it black! please:D Quote
Niel Hoback Posted May 21, 2009 Report Posted May 21, 2009 I find it hard to believe that its still 6 volts! They spent their budget or paint cans, I guess. Quote
John Reddie Posted May 21, 2009 Report Posted May 21, 2009 I remember back when they were making the film "The Brinks Job" up here in Boston, MA they were advertizing for cars 1950 and older. This guy who ran a diner near where I worked had a '37 Plymouth four door trunkback sedan. He took the car to the filming people who said that they wanted to use this car as a taxi. He said ok if he could drive it in the film. They agreed and said they would give him a check afterwards to paint the car whatever color he wanted. They had the car painted yellow with the checkers around the beltline. He did the scene with the Plymouth and after all that the scene was cut from the film. When it was all said and done, he deposited the check into his account and left the car as a taxi. Such a deal. John R Quote

RobertKB Posted May 24, 2009 Report Posted May 24, 2009 I would love the car in spite of the engine colours. They can always be changed. Probably be a pretty decent driver with a little TLC. Quote
Frank Elder Posted May 24, 2009 Author Report Posted May 24, 2009 Is this the Godfather taxi? It is from the incredible life of Benjiman Buttons starring Brad Pitt. Quote
