Stewart drives a powder-blue '56 De Soto Firedome 2-door hardtop. A
lot.
And during one scene he drives it up highway 101 through a grove of
Eucalyptus trees near San Juan Bautista, where the mission used in the movie is
located.
I had the pleasure of driving that stretch of road on my way to work for
about 10 years. It sure beat the heck out of driving through Detroit to
get to work!
(And by the way, oddly enough, there is no bell tower at the
mission!)
