This one may be a little harder but maybe not for you guys.

Hint: It's from a very popular movie series!
Bonus points: who drove it?

What am I???

OK, recognize this? I'm going to do just the interior on this one.

Hint: the console might give it away.

Dodge Colt GTS Turbo, I think. If so, one of the OG pocket rockets as they called them back in the day. Shelby had a hand in the sister GLH (many writers referred to it as Goes Like Hell) Omni. Talk about some massive torque steer....

Yep.....Dodge/Plymouth Colt (formerly the Plymouth Champ). It had a unique "Twin-Stick" transmission where the second stick shifted the final-drive unit gearing from power to economy. That, in effect, with the conventional 4-speed manual transmission, gave you choice of eight different gears.

I liked this car...I remember a review and test-drive back in 1984. It was small, somewhat noisy, and did not ride very comfortably, but IMO was exceedingly well-built with good materials...noticeably more-so than the next-generation model that superseded it. But the Japanese-vehicle-quotas at the time made it relatively hard to get, and allowed dealer markups.

I admit I've been stumped on a few of them.

For the old heads... found this randomly while scrolling through FB Marketplace the other night.





Edited slightly to remove visible emblems that might give it away.

The grille's right. Late 50s/early-60s Singer Gazelle convertible.

I've watched this movie dozens of times with my son when he was young (so glad Frozen wasn't his go-to), but I don't know the original vehicle.

You got it Tex2670!
As far as the tow truck, I had to look it up before I posted it to make sure it was a real vehicle cuz I didn't know either.

Tow Truck is a 1951 International.
