Thanks to Nerm for suggesting I post articles about the cars of famous people. Although I've done that before (Trump, Sinatra) it gave me the impetus to do post more of them.;
I watched two of Clint Eastwood's movies recently - Sudden Impact and Pale Rider.
I had no idea that so many of the cars in his movies were actually owned by him.
I did have to chuckle over this line. Yes he's 6' 4" while I'm only 6', but I've experienced the same issue. I was excited years back when Ford re-released the Thunderbird. That was always my fantasy car as I had one (in the family) when I was only 16 and I was given one in Hawaii for business needs back in the 70's. So when Ford redid the car in the early 2000's I had to go look. Only way I could sit in that car was to hold my head bowed with my chin on my chest. Sigh... would have bought it right there if I could have actually sat in it.
I wonder what kind of car Barron Trump will be comfortable in. Ansswer - a convertible with the top down.
Interesting article Buzz, lots of history in some of those cars, If you did an article on Jay Leno it would be 100 pages long. He really has some interesting cars in his collection.
