Name The Film

[stovebolt1]

This eye-popping Mark III played a central role in the film, but isn't the car most remembered from the movie. Can you name the film? How about the nickname of the character shown sitting in the passenger seat?

(hint: note the license plates)

Correct! Popeye Doyle was the NYC detective chasing after a french herion dealer nicknamed "Frog One". That probably wouldn't go over too well in today's PC world.

Name the TV series, and private investigator, that drove this Lincoln Mark III in 1971 then switched to the Mark IV for the final 4 seasons of the series run.

(Hint: chases on foot were rare and very short for this PI)

Ok, last one....



George Barris "customized" this 1971 Mark III for a film starring James Brolin and Kathleen Lloyd which was set in a rural California town. Directed by Elliot Silverstein the car reportedly cost $84,000 to make (in 1977 dollars). Name the film.

THE CAR!
Never seen that one. Where I have seen the other two.

Speaking of George, he did about 150 cars in his 89 years.
