Its license plate was an Illinois plate reading, "BDR 529", a tribute to the Black Diamond Riders of Toronto, Canada at 529 Jarvis Street. http://www.myfantasyweb.com/carmodels/bluesmobile.jpg (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000LQ34NS?ie=UTF8&tag=glutezero-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creative ASIN=B000LQ34NS)

1977 Pontiac Trans-Am Fire Bird From Smokey & The Bandit 1/18

The film made use of three modified black 1977 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am "Special Editions" that were each built according to the required stuntwork. All were damaged during the rigors of filming the stunts. The particular car used to jump over the bridge towards the middle of the movie was reportedly totaled doing the stunt. (The bridge itself, though no longer used for traffic, was still intact prior to filming. The middle section was demolished by the film-makers for the stunt.)

1958 Plymouth Fury movie "CHRISTINE" 1:18 Ertl diecast model

Although the 1958 Plymouth Fury is identified as the car in John Carpenter's adaptation of the Stephen King novel Christine, two other Plymouth models, the Belvedere and the Savoy, were also used to portray the malevolent automobile in the film. The word "fury" is a type of anger, inspired by the Furies, mythological creatures in Ancient Greek and Ancient Roman mythology. http://www.myfantasyweb.com/carmodels/christine.jpg (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000NLFSWQ?ie=UTF8&tag=glutezero-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creative ASIN=B000NLFSWQ)

The original Esprit was lauded for its handling and is said to have the best steering of any Esprit. However, it was generally regarded as lacking power, especially in markets such as the United States where the engine was down-rated for emissions purposes.
