I may be sick of the fic...
...but I'm still in love with the car!
There is a part of me that wants SO BAD to see "Grindhouse". I clicked a link today and looked at a few stills, and something caught my eye.
Kurt Russel's car in "Death Proof" looked AWFULLY familiar. I could tell it wasn't an Impala- not long enough, the hood didn't have quite the same shape, the Impalas don't have that pillar in the 2-door models, single instead of dual headlights, and the parking lights weren't quite right- but it had to be approximately the same vintage as the Metallicar (i.e. late 60s), and it was DEFINITELY a Chevy. So, after a little bit of searching, I found it- a 1969 Chevy Nova. (The movie poster actually has a '69 Camaro on it, but as you can see it's not the same car as they used in the actual movie.)

Darn it. So near, but yet so far... a '67 Impala SS would have done nicely as well. :)
