That one is interesting. I suppose, that they took footage of real weapons test, probably 20-30mm autocannon.![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Why they shoot up the limo? God knows. |

^When I realised, that scene may be filmed "for real", I remembered this legend: https://www.thevintagenews.com/2018/07/13/presidential-cars/ |

It's stock footage from the 1986 movie "Band of the Hand". The same footage was used in the movie "Cold Heat". /vehicle_829020-Lincoln-Continental-Stretched-Limousine-1974.html -- Last edit: 2019-07-02 20:33:56 |

Found it! You know, it's turns out to be funny. Because limo was supposed to be shot with Vulcan rotary cannon. http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Band_of_the_Hand#M61_Vulcan So at least they were really trying to imitate 20mm damage. And some how did a good job. |

Me too! ![]() ![]() It was indeed coachbuilt by the company I suspected, but back in 1974 they were still trading as Eagle Coach Co., Dallas, Texas (not to confuse with the other Eagle Coach Co. in Amelia, Ohio, who entered the limousine and funeral car business in 1981). Eagle Coach of Dallas (1972-77, later Phaeton Coach Corp. 1977-82) offered a wide range of conversions mainly on Lincoln, but also on Rolls-Royce, Cadillac, Imperial or Volkswagen chassis. -- Last edit: 2019-07-04 23:33:41 |
