"The California Kid" is listed already. But no pictures, and the car is listed as a '32 Ford, when it is really a '34.

If you haven't seen this movie, I would recommend it. Just for the sound of the open headers alone. Makes me want to go for a drive right now.
I remember seeing this car in magazines when I was a kid, and it has become one of those very recognizable hot rods that alot of people know. I came across an article about the car, written by Pete Chapouris,(owner and builder), which tells a little about the story behind The California Kid, the car and the movie.

Here's the image caps from the movie.

The California Kid. 1934 Ford 3 window Coupe. Not sure what the star rating is, the car is used alot, and the movie is named after it.
