The red convertible, plus.


In the Rock-off vs Satan scene there is a beautiful red convertible parked in the lot (unattended and with the top down?). I'm pretty sure it's a Thunderbird Roadster, 1962 or thereabouts.

Note the three chrome bars on the rear side. The tail is also a match up (1:25:43):

The director was not sure and mis-identified it, so I don't think he ordered a T-Bird himself specifically, maybe just a flashy red sports car, or something like that.

Looks like a Harley-Davidson is parked next to it.

I can now identify the strange looking blue car in their first trip into the club. It was a 1949, 1950 or 1951 Ford coupé, more probably '49 or '50, based on the windshield. http://www.seriouswheels.com/1950-1959/1950-Ford-Coupe-Green-Flames-RA .htm
I think they chose this car for a mysterious uncertainty feeling, but it's also appropriately forceful, because of its bulky rear end.


Addendum: Noticed something strange: that blue car (27:58) has a deep blue glossy (not shiny) finish. In the dream sequence about the open-mike club, the host is wearing a suit that is about the same color and finish (41:28). Could be just a coincidence, or is there something about that color-finish that they're using for effect?
