My Old Car In Film Noir

swingerthe first car i ever owned was my parents’ 1974 dodge dart swinger. it had a V-8 engine that left a lot of cars in the dust. it wasn’t built to last, it was built for speed & you don’t see very many of them on the road these days. well i just watched the american side on netflix, and my old dodge is in most of it (see above). the movie itself is pretty cheesy with a throwback 1940′s private eye feel, but it has a story that starts (and ends) with a low rent detective driving my old car and playing pinball… so yeah, i’ll watch it again.

  1. That car is possibley somewhere in Chapparal, NM. I need to double check. I sold it around 1990.

  2. Ahh, what great memories that car has. Remember the fish in the dome light. Do you remember why we bought that car instead of the blue one? We had a choice between the two.
