Long story short, I dropped by the museum and this beaut was sitting there with pretty substantial marring on the trunk that looked like it was caused by either dirty towels or someone using their filthy thumb to wipe a spot off the paint. Car goes back to the location that it was on loan from on Saturday and our detail staff would likely have wound up being blamed (whether our guys did it or not). Unfortunately in my haste to repair it I did not document it. I was more concerned with getting it ready to go home than anything else, but thought you would all get a kick out of the car itself.
The 2 photos of me working on it were taken by my son who is a car buff and thought it's be cool to document his old man finishing it up....
Went with M-105 , Pinnacle fine swirl remover, LC orange light cut and red finishing pad and 303 Speed Detailer to clean it up in the end.

I literally thought about the jersey as I was doing it. Cameron would die if he saw a Hawks' jersey near the car !

Totally. Pretty sure they already have it on their page since I tagged them in the photo . I happen to like their stuff a lot and they donate supplies to the museum every year.

BTW, I just saw this morning that Mike was in Allentown. The museum is only about a 15 min drive from where the class was being held.
 
Cool car! Bueller would have needed you back in the day LOL

No joke. In fact, I was reading up on the movie car yesterday. Turns out there were at least 3 of them, possibly 4. 3 were replicas built specifically for the movie and 1 was the real deal used for the close up shots. One was so badly assembled when it arrived on set that it couldn't be driven. That one turned out to be the one that they reversed out the window into the ravine.
One had an automatic transmission installed because Broderick couldn't really drive stick at the time. This one had some dings on the windshield frame from where they had attached cameras for front seat shots. The other was nearly destroyed while filming the scenes with the valet flying over the hill while joyriding.

Very cool!
Matthew Broderick spoke about these cars when he was on "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee" in the newest season.
 
I showed the photos to a friend at work today who happens to be close with Mia Sara (small world) . Turns out she was on set and said that there was another one that didn't work at all that they basically just used for green screen shots. She had me send her my photos so she could send them to Mia which should be interesting.
