Number 9 is The Fast and The Furious from 1954. This is the first time I'm hearing of an old film with this title! Does it continue after 1966?

I have the Hot Rod Girl on VHS great show. Fireball 5oo was a favoritew o mine. I also have the box set of all the Beach Party movies, with Frankie, and Annette.

That "Fast and Furious" movie was on TV earlier this year.It was kinda lame.And it involved a sports car race,not hot rods.

Thanks for posting that. I am going to see if I can download some of those. I have "Thunder Road ( just love that sweet looking little '57 Ford that Mitchum drives.. ) and "The Lively Set" on my hard drive - you just gotta love those old rods - especially the W head powered one driven by James Darrin! I really like seeing the cars in the background of these movies. That was back when building a hot rod took imagination, skill and ingenuity unlike the check book rods that are built today using manufactured components and lots of money.

However, they forgot a few such as "It Started With a Kiss" Starring Glenn Ford, Debbie Reynolds and the main star - the Lincoln Futura - the car that would become the Batmobile for the '60's TV series. I've been searching for a download of that movie for some time but so far, no joy.
