I read just reacently that they used something like 24 cars, 7 of which were totalled (but not all of which were actual Furys).Makes you cry, doesn't it?

The movie was the best thing that ever happened for Fury owners. Most of the 20 some car were lower models made to look like Fury's and the movie drove a lot of interest to the cars.mbstude wrote:

Yep, most of the cars were Belvederes. The factory never made a redFury. But still...MatthewJohn Poulos wrote:

Matthew, tell me would could not come up with 20 rust bucket C-K parts cars right on this news group to star in a major movie ? The studio could use one or two nice ones for the close up shots and trash the parts cars. I'd bet 20 cars like that are either crushed are lost to accidents every year, far better to show a few million movie goers a Studebaker.

You want lots of studebaker's in a movie? How about "Streets of Fire",1984 version of a continous music video with a slight story line. 51red Merc lead sled and all the police cars were 50-51 Studebakers.John Poulos wrote:
