1967 Plymouth GTX Convertibles in Film

Today I’m kicking off a weekly blog column on cars in film. And I’m gonna start with one of my dream cars–the 1967 Plymouth GTX convertible. Clearly, not all of the cars below are "real" GTXs–the orange car in Joe Dirt definitely has the wrong hood paint, and both the Joe Dirt car and blue Tommy Boy car have a bench seat, which probably indicates that they are Belvedere IIs. In fact, my buddy Scott thinks that owing to the David Spade connection, the Joe Dirt car may be one used previously in Tommy Boy, just painted differently. Of course, the blue car in Tommy Boy came to a very sad end–but they probably had several cars for the shoot. My favorite of the three is definitely the black vert in Lost Highway–David Lynch is a real Mopar dude. I definitely need to see that movie again. I have a few more Tommy Boy pics after the jump.

So, let me know what cars you would like to see featured in future posts. I’m gonna try to stick to one year/make/model used in two or more movies or tv shows.
