Big Red Car...


What kind and model of car was the big long red fast-back driven by JMV? I looked for some kind of ID, decals, plaques, logos, ornaments, etc. in all the shots and angles and came up with zero. It had to be pre-1973 obviously. Any help out there on this one?

The car driven by Jan Michael Vincent in "The Mechanic" was a Ford Mustang Mach I. Ford Motor Company provided the cars for "The Mechanic". Keenan Wynn's character had a Lincoln Continental and Charles Bronson drove a Mercury Montego.

I always thought Charles Bronson should have drove a cooler car in that movie.

Hey...I was just online when your reply came in...Right? You'd think so! What with his character being so wealthy from his inheritance. I've seen the trailer for the 2010 remake and it looks like they have Jason Statham driving around in some Maserati sedan.

naw i think his car was just right. He wasnt flamboyant. he was low key classic like his car and his car was cool. maybe not as hot as the other one but still cool.

His house was very flamboyant though...

reply

no doubt about that one. Though he kept it to himself unlike the other one who had ragging parties.
