The Imperial in that movie (direct to rental) belongs to me - George Harcourt - formerly of Houston and now in San Antonio.
You have a very sharp eye to catch the car in the movie - congratulations. For the few seconds it was on screen - the production company had it in Richmond, Texas for one month - I think they just enjoyed it!
I have owned the car since August 1977. Torqueflite - A/C.
The movie folks broke the driver's side door handle - scratched the devil out of the paint job by wiping off the material they put on the car to diminish the brilliant black finish. Seemed they wiped the car down while damp - like taking a Brillo pad to it. And more.
I have before posted to those on this list not to allow a movie production outfit use your car if you care about it - because they don't. And they don't pay much either - not enough for repairs.
Lousy movie - Great automobile
