Motion Pictures 50 Merc Conv from Grease in "Used Cars" Lot?

Saw "Used Cars" with Kurt Russell last night. In a scene in the back lot there was a beat-up black 49-50 Merc Convertible with fender flames.

Does anyone know if it was the same movie car used in Grease?

 

can't help on the merc , but it is a very funny movie...one of my favorites

 

Yes, it is. If i remember correctly the 46-48 convert they start with is in there too.

 

One of the guys here just bought that merc. There was a thread on it not long ago.

 

I agree, that was a classic movie!!!!!

 

I still use these movie lines with my friends, and they automaticly know what im joking about.
The F*** it wont this Mother-F***er runs!

 

Saw this movie when it came out. I was working in Saudi Arabia way the hell out in the desert. Have owned a copy ever since. I gotta go back and check out those scenes and see if I can spot those cars.

 

I'd say it's probably the same car. Grease was released in '78 and Used Cars in '80.

Grease was a Paramount movie and Used Cars was Columbia, but we know that movie cars are often owned by third-party companies.

 

LOOK MOM! BARE TITS!!!

Such a funny movie!!
