Funny they just had a special on Speed TV last night about great movie car chases. I had never heard of the 7ups movie until last night, now I am trying to see if I can get it thru Netflix or rent it at Blockbuster.

I bought a copy on DVD at Wal-Mart in that $5.00 movie bin last year! They may have them on their website.

I just wish mine was the same blue color as the Grand Ville in the movie... mine is that 70s dark brown... also the one in the movie has the cornering lights option.

This is a pic of my 73 Grand Ville taken in October of 2010. Mine originally had the standard hubcaps (which I still have), but I put on these finned hubcaps which were optional. I was going to put the originals back on, but I have apparently lost one somehow.





I do like this lighter brown of the one in the ad... one color is burma brown, one is burnt umber or something like that, I cant remember, lol. I think mine is the burma brown.
