Even sadder if that was a Plymouth-based Canadian
Dodge, those are getting rarer all the time... ...but
hard to match the scene in "Mad Max" where a RHD '59
DeSoto (one of an estimated 100 sold in Australia that
year, sob) got blown up...

I remember really embarrassing my girlfriend at the
time ('83) by being the only guy in the theater
cheering LOUDLY for Christine, so I guess that's some
consolation...
I remember an episode of "The Incredible Hulk" where a
couple was making out on a deserted lovers' lane in a
'60 DeSoto. Can't remember if it was the Hulk or
another monster who showed up and ruined the mood, but
the scene showed a finger hitting the "D" button (not
only that, it showed correct '60 Dodge/DeSoto
buttons!) and the DeSoto boogieing outta there...
