Indeed, it would be cooler if it has 454 CID engine fitted in ![]() By the way, it is model 1M-39. |

What justifies 5-star rather than 4? |

Same way the red Plymouth Valiant of Duel earns five stars, I feel this one does, too. The two motorhomes are too deeply involved in the plot to have just four stars. The identity of the villain remains hidden throughout the whole movie, completely veiled from any identification whatsoever, and could be compared with the truck from Duel, we never get the identity of the driver (the villain), and thus the truck itself serves as the villain, and is therefore part of the movie. We only get the identity of the villain at the end of the movie, rather than in Duel, where we can only guess who it is during the cafeteria sequence. Seeing that the motorhomes get five stars, I find it only reasonable that this Impala gets them, too, seeing that it's the subject of the chase, same with the red Valiant. It is also seen and used more than the motorhomes, but does not appear until 1/3 into the film, unlike the motorhomes, that are there from the beginning. |

OK, I was curious since the car wasn't especially mentioned in the synopsis. I am still not sure it justifies the 5-star rating, but it is over-used anyway... -- Last edit: 2013-05-15 18:06:06 |

Then I simply fail to understand the meaning of the five star rating of the Mustang and the Charger of Bullitt, as they have been used less and have less to do with the plot - the first one goes for the Charger especially. |

They are much more famous. Here is it not famous nor the centre of the movie. Originally 5-star was for the cars really linked to the movie. -- Last edit: 2013-05-16 17:19:16 |
