My first movie where I was just old enough to start liking cars and fell in LOVE with the 58 & the rod.
We had Smokey & the Bandit on VHS in our unit lounge in 1980 in Germany. I watched that movie so many times that I knew all the lines. A VHS movie back then was expensive.
A good friend of mine from way back was the second unit director on Smokey. He did a lot of the car scenes. Lots of interesting stories.
