Title: Two-lane black top
Post by: collecture on February 19, 2006, 09:25:47 am
Hey,
I don't know if anyone would be interested, but I came across this 1971 movie called "Two Lane Black Top" the other night. It was a little odd - starred James Taylor, Dennis Wilson driving a souped up 1955 Chevy and Warren Oates in a new GTO and follows these racing guys from CA to DC in a sort of a Route 66 trip. It is currently playing on the Sundance channel. They had to stop in gas stations all the time and there were always old soda machines. I saw a WE-6, and RC Cola machine and a few others as well as a lot of old hot rods. If you like old cars and soda machines, check it out! The movie is not that great, but the scenery was a cool.

I'll have to check it out too.  I wonder if it's one of those you can find for $3.99 in the bargain bins in stores like K-Mart and Walgreens? ???

I sure hope you can Doc, I searched Amazon for Two lane backtop, and fall over.
The cheapest DVD was, and no, this is not a typo $93.00. :O
Now my favorite guilty pleasure Race movie of the 1970's - Death Race 2000 is available on DVD for $18.00 (it's cheesy, it's bad, it's Stallone at his best!)

Oh, come on Kilroy! 'Rhinestone' is Stallone at his best! I thought T-L-BT was playing all month, but just checked the TIVO and not on again - oh well. I am sure it is out there somewhere for you die hard Warren Oates fans!
