    I bought a few DVD's of some old B movies at a flea market today.Those old drive-in films from the late 50's-early 60's are loaded with vintage cars. One in particular-THE CHOPPERS(1961) played by no name actors had a few Buicks in it. A '59 Electra convertible,and a T bucket hotrod with Nailhead power.The beginning of the show had a '59 Eldo Biarritz convertible parked at the curb. Some other Buicks were seen in the background thruout the movie.The plot was about a gang of teenage car strippers in southern California,run by a junkyard owner. Another interesting flick had a young Jack Nicholson playing a hoodlum in THE WILD RIDE(1960). Pre-Easy Rider days! Lot of oldie hotrods and a '57 Fairlane ragtop as Nicholson's ride. These old hotrod B-movies are really cool!
