Apart from the best muscle cars of the time, Gumball Rally also features an AC Cobra, Chevrolet Corvette, and even a ‘69 Porsche 911 Targa. The Gumball Rally was born out of automotive enthusiasts’ frustration and rebellion against the nationwide 55mph speed limit. For this reason, the rally cars have neither a catalytic converter, nor a law-abiding driver.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Movie Link: https://www.amazon.com/Gumball-Rally-Michael-Sarrazin/dp/B000PBOIU2

The Hitch-Hiker (1953)

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

The 1953 movie The Hitch-Hiker was a thriller that many people consider to be a classic. It is about an exotic car salesman who is trying to escape from a man who has been stalking him. He ends up getting into an accident and the hitchhiker in the back seat saves his life.

The Hitch-Hiker was filmed in black and white which gave it a different look than other movies of the time. It also had an interesting twist at the end – which was unusual for movies at that time.

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]In 1950, 23-year old Billy Cook went on a murdering spree across the United States. He would hitch a ride, hold his victims hostage, and then kill them and claim their vehicles. That’s the true story behind Ida Lupino’s first noir film, The Hitch-Hiker. Two friends are on a fishing trip in Mexico, when they pick up a hitchhiker. The stranger makes them drive around Baja California, tormenting them and foiling their plans to sabotage or escape, perhaps in the same way as Cook himself had.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Movie Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIeFKTbg3Aw

Taxi Driver (1976)

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

This article is about the 1976 movie Taxi Driver. It talks about the exotic cars in the film and their significance.

One of the most iconic scenes in Taxi Driver is when Travis Bickle (Robert De Niro) drives through New York City with his Smith & Wesson .44 Magnum revolver, trying to find a prostitute to kill. In this scene, Travis drives through Times Square and into Central Park, where he sees a number of exotic cars that are worth more than $100,000 today. In fact, many of these cars are now priceless because they no longer exist.

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Robert De Niro plays Vietnam War veteran Travis Bickle, who is disillusioned by the corruption of humanity which he sees around him. To help his depression and insomnia, he becomes a night-shift taxi driver in New York City. Taxi Driver is about the melancholy which sits dormant in our chests until it is stirred by empathy and injustice. The movie was mired with controversy before its release, but became a roaring success afterward. No, there are no crazy car chases or heart-stopping explosions. This is one man’s attempt to realise his depression and combat it by doing what he thinks is right.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]More info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxi_Driver[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
