Step back into the glory days of moonshine runners and hot rods. This simple page pays tribute to Robert Mitchum’s legendary “Shoebox” Ford from Thunder Road (1958).
In the movie, it’s described as a 1950 Ford Coupe, but it’s actually a 1951 Ford Tudor sedan, outfitted with a 1949 hood and a 1950 grille and parking lights. It's powered by a Ford Y-Block, and tri-power!
Note: All image stills on this page were personally captured by me from the DVD of the movie in 2005.
