For all the movie buff's that also like to spot cars. I ran across this on Netflix recently. It's a lame Bob Hope and Frankie Avalon movie, but about five to ten minutes into the movie there is scene that appears to be shot in a used car dealer show room and it is full of classic sports cars. Enjoy!

Pretty funny! I just posted in another thread about seeing this same film last week.

The thread was about music, so I totally forgot to mention all the cars. The dealership in it was pretty cool! The had a Volvo P1800, an MGB, a Big Healey, a TR4, and a Mercedes SL. Was that all of them?

It cracked me up when, later in the film, they were supposed to have gone to Sweden, yet a few of the same cars popped up there magically!

The movie was extremely hokey, with the exception of a few good Hope one-liners and the typical fine performance of the under-rated Tuesday Weld.

Rod, Missed your earlier post. Found it in the recommended just for you stack on Netflix. Having owned a TR4 many years ago I still have a soft spot for them. The one I owned looked just like the one on the sales floor in the movie. That made my day. I also noticed the Volvo magically jumped to Sweden too.
