Ok so being born in the mid 70s and growing up with basic cable, I was exposed to many 70s car movies in my car lusting years. Now it has recently occurred to me that the younger generation may need a guide to understand us olds yelling at clouds. so I have devised a list of Movies that define car culture of the era.
Vanishing Point and no not the bad one from the 90s with Brandon Walsh.
Dirty Mary Crazy Larry Pretty Much drips 70s culture
No Catalytic Converter and No 55 MPH Speed Limit!
Want to understand where NASCAR came from? Watch this
Finally C
onvoy, what do all these movies have in common? They are fighting against the establishment! That’s why cars are important!
