Awesome car! John Wayne called it the Green Hornet in the movie. It was the first PG movie I ever saw, walked a mile in the snow with my Dad to get to the theater as a boy. Shame he was chasing a box truck instead of some thing cooler, but still did some burnouts as I recall.

Here's some screen grabs to further "fuel the fires".
One pic clearly shows the Firestone white letters while other scenes must have them blacked out, as Rocky mentioned.
The other two pics show the standard, small bumper bird decal still in place. Perhaps not all three cars were detailed out the same?

have you ever noticed that as great of a flick as Mc Q is,(for John Wayne & Pontiac fans alike) there is No Doubt it was a copy/remake of Bullitt....

same color Car as Bullitt.....

the Car was "trimmed down" for a cleaner look, like Bullitt...

characters had similar backgrounds, like Bullitt.....

Big City street chase scene, like Bullitt....

the Car even used the same sound track, as Bullitt....

dont get me wrong, I love Mc Q but it is what it is.....
