The Ferris Bueller car? Really?


Of all the cars in the whole wide world they could have used, they chose the Ferris Bueller car? WTF? Why?




I want the doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well.

I don't know why it would matter, but it's not the same model as the one used in Ferris Bueller. The two are completely different body styles and look nothing alike.

reply

Right, they look nothing alike. Which must be exactly the reason that I yelled out as soon as I saw it, "That's the Ferris Bueller car!" Yup, you nailed it, all right.

Your ridiculous reaction proves nothing. If your only knowledge of vintage Ferraris comes from movies, at least get your eyes checked.

And we have yet another reason why the ignore button was invented! Thank you!

The car in Tower Heist is a replica of Steve McQueen's Ferrari 250 GT Lusso, the car in Ferris Bueller is a 1961 Ferrari GT California. Different models.

Do a Google search of the cars and you'll see they aren't the same. You nailed it, alright. Although they are both red and Ferraris. rme

You have no knowledge of cars, don't expect everybody else to share in your ignorance.

You didn't notice that the car in FBDO was a convertable, and this movies car, had a hard top??? So any time there is an older red Ferrari, you always jump right up and say, "that's Ferris Buhlers Ferrari?" Like there is only 1 old red Ferrari available to use in movies? Your pretty sharp, and coming on here and letting everyone see how smart u are was a good idea!

reply

Oh, you're so right. Every single time I've ever seen an older red Ferrari in a movie, any movie, I've always concluded that it's the Ferris Bueller car. Especially when Ferris Bueller himself was in the movie.

All ONE times I've ever seen it. Every SINGLE time. And all ONE times I've ever seen it and Ferris Bueller himself was in the movie.

Yeah, how silly of me. I feel ashamed and stupid for pointing out that an older, cherry-red, Ferrari was in a movie with Ferris Bueller himself, and the car was the central focal point of the movie. Yeah, I'm the one that should feel stupid here.

You must be the stupidest person I've yet encountered on imdb, that is quite an achievement.

Why not?

reply

It's not the same car as FBDO plain and simple. OP is seeing things

reply

No, it's not. Ferris Bueller is a Ferrari 360 California.

reply

As soon as I saw that they were trying to figure out how to get the car out of his apartment, I thought yep, Ferris is your 'go-to' guy if you need to get a Ferrari through a plate of glass.
