> It happened in the otherwise-entertaining movie, "1941" where they trashed late 1930's and early 1940's cars. I saw a clip on TV the other day when they were smashing a sports car. It looked like an early '60's Austin-Healey 3000. I was horrified. I've seen several Porche cars destroyed in movies and countless Cameros, Mustangs, Thunderbirds, Cadillacs, Studebakers, Packards, Lincolns etc. If the movie is set in 1950, that's the model year that gets trashed.

Is Fozzy's Studebaker from the Muppet Movie a classic? Persoanly I liked it after the Electric Mayhem repaint it.
