Actually, there were six Lincolns made for this movie...1 made of sheetmetal, and 5 fiberglass replicas...all 5 replicas were destroyed in the film, and the original was auctioned off in 1984 at a George Barris Kustom Car Auction.

Is this film any good? It looks very B-Movie. I remember once reading about it in a film magazine in a jokey video dungeon section.

Definitely not B-movie at all. You should see it if you can.

It was a B-movie, for sure, but good times if you watch it.

My main problem with this movie was the amount of undercranking they did to simulate speed...especially noticable with the police cars, since it made the lights on them flash REALLY fast.

This is one of my FAVE movies. I am a total car guy and I love ANY movie made with the car as the main subject. Corvette Summer also ranks among my top faves.

Is this movie better than Christine?

I thought both were good, actually. But they're also very different movies in certain respects. This one is a bit darker and more mysterious.

I just watched the whole thing on youtube and this is good because it has more action and christine was good because it had more of a plot. In the end, i like this more

carfan, what did you think of the ending? Did you notice what was in the smoke in the end?

The ending was great and yes I did see what was in the smoke, don't want to ruin it by mentioning it. When i said "in the end", I meant after watching both movies. I wasn't talking about the end itself.

I knew what you were referring to. I was just curious about what you thought about the end.

Hi, I just signed up for this site and decided to pass on some info about The Car. I lived in San Diego and there was a business out in El Cajon that sold movie cars. I was able to buy the only one left from the movie The Car. There were six made in all and this one was a fiberglass body over the Lincoln body. It was rough and had no interior, wires all over the inside as it was remote controlled for the movie.
It did have just a drivers seat and it was drivable but not ready for the street by a long way's. I bought it because I really wanted to drive it on the street but never did. Didn't have it very long and that was back in 1979/80. I have been told that it is or was in some collection someplace in New York but don't know for sure what happened to it.
It was fun while it lasted and I wish I had kept it.

I remember this car when it was in El Cajon in the 80's. The business has been long gone but I went there when they had "The Car" displayed. I had to have been about 8 years old and as disturbing as it may seem, I would watch the movie over and over again. It wasn't until I was able to see the car in person did I never watch the movie again. I remember trying to look into the blacked out drivers window and while doing so that memorable sound of the honking came on. Cruel act by the owner who later tried to convince me it was fake while I was crying and wanting to get the heck out of there. Although I haven't seen this movie in a long time it's still one of my Favorites!

Do you have any pictures of your CAR, if so please share them...I have a Myspace devoted to this car, and hope to start building my replica soon.
