Please hold my calls. The Movies! network is showing "Bullitt."
It started at 8:00 p.m. in the Eastern time zone.
So many 1967 Ford Galaxie 500s: taxis, unmarked cop cars.... I used to own a 1967 Ford Country Squire. I FOOLISHLY gave it away 25 years ago. What was I thinking? Well, to be honest, every system in it needed overhaul. Following said overhaul, it still wouldn't have been worth a whole lot. But the memories....
San Francisco must have been a fantastic place to live circa 1967 - 1968.
Oh, for a time machine.
Steve McQueen is as cool without a cowboy hat as he is with one.
Gotta go; the TV is in the kitchen.

APRIL 17 – 23: 1968 FORD MUSTANG FASTBACK – BULLITT – '559
The “Highland Green” Mustang piloted by legendary car enthusiast and actor Steve McQueen through the streets of San Francisco in the visceral cops-and-mobsters flick Bullitt has become an indelible part of international car culture. By the 1980s though, the car was thought to have vanished. It wasn’t until 2018 that the car was finally shown to the world again by the Kiernan family, who have owned it since 1974. Featuring rich patina from a life well lived, the big block Mustang is unrestored and retains many of its modifications from filming for the movie.

If you missed out on seeing the original Bullitt Mustang at the Detroit Auto Show in January, don't fret because it will be on display in Washington D.C. in the shadow of the Washington Monument.
The car, which had been thought lost for decades, made its grand reentry into the spotlight when it was driven out onto the stage of the Ford booth alongside the new 2019 Ford Mustang Bullitt. Understandably, the car generated a lot of excitement from both the motoring public in general and from the National Historic Vehicle Register.
The 1968 Ford Mustang fastback used as the hero car in the film Bullitt will be on display in Washington, D.C. for a month.
