mercurygrandmarquis1 ◊ 2008-04-14 06:18	most liklely custom because it looks pretty bottom of the barrel.
Stampede1975 ◊ 2008-04-15 07:59	Probably a Custom
stpaulcarguy ◊ 2008-05-05 04:09	The main pic looks like a galaxie from the chrome strips on the doors. But the thumbnail pics apear to be a customs since the door posts are the same color as the car.

But the thumbnail pics apear to be a customs since the door posts are the same color as the car. I agree...I think the first car we see, with Lois interviewing the Native American about why he sold his "worthless" land for such a high price (we find out later it was Lex Luther who bought it), is most likely a Galaxie...with the chrome door posts and edging around the windows. After that, the car seems to "cheapen" somewhat...becoming a baseline Custom, with the plain all-one-color door posts and window edging--in this case red. Obviously more than one Ford was used for this part of the movie. I think the first car (the Galaxie) was used just for Lois' interview...then the cheaper models (Customs) were used for the stunt scenes--the gas station blowing up, Lois screeching all over the road, and ultimately the "earth-swallowing" / burying scene where the Ford is crushed under ground. So, I think the "main" pic should be listed as a Galaxie, whereas the thumbnails that Wampa-One provided are the Custom/s. Also, I'm not really a Ford expert...which one was considered the top of the line...Galaxie or LTD? -- Last edit: 2013-12-16 00:16:58

rjluna2 ◊ 2014-01-12 22:08	Curiously, the main picture shows that it has the chrome trim on the door windows

GodzillaFan54 ◊ 2021-04-30 18:38	For a car that got buried under a bunch of rocks, it looks like it fared pretty well if police car fan's 12th thumb is anything to go by. A modern-day Focus would've be crashed flat.
