c'est la caisse qu'emprunte gene "Popeye" Hackman pour poursuivre notre marcel Bozzuffi national qui lui meme a emprunté le metro aerien . cette scene , ( sans doute boostée par le succes de la poursuite de bullitt qq années plus tot ), d'une extreme tension , fait partie des morceaux de bravoure du ciné americain ( en matiere de bagnole ) a noter que william friedkin dans " to live and die in l.a " 14 ans plus tard , signera un autre classique des poursuite de caisses . |

This car is part of one of the great car chase scenes of all time. Shouldn't it have 4-stars? |

One of the most famous chase (with Bullit) in the american cinema... between a Pontiac LeMans and a subway train !![[Image: pontiac3sm4.4263.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/0is100/pontiac3sm4.4263.jpg) ![[Image: pontiac4xp4.3079.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/0is101/pontiac4xp4.3079.jpg) ![[Image: pontiac7as2.5170.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/0is101/pontiac7as2.5170.jpg) ![[Image: pontiac9ajw5.4818.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/0is237/pontiac9ajw5.4818.jpg) ![[Image: pontiac9chb6.4291.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/0is237/pontiac9chb6.4291.jpg) ![[Image: pontiac9emo7.1580.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/0is92/pontiac9emo7.1580.jpg) ![[Image: pontiac9fqg6.3374.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/0is183/pontiac9fqg6.3374.jpg) ![[Image: pontiac9gcd0.4046.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/0is83/pontiac9gcd0.4046.jpg) ![[Image: pontiac9hii2.8604.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/0is222/pontiac9hii2.8604.jpg) |

I suppose, also according sixcyl's description, if it is a major chase... |

I hope the police department paid for the damage. |

Anyone have an idea what the color of this car is? GM had many similar color codes in their library. |

It's probably called Burnt Cinnamon or something along those lines. I have a '72 Lemans Sedan, so I cry a little bit inside when I watch the French Connection and see it's older brother getting slammed through fruit stands and stuff... |

If you watch one of the instances where the camera is showing the front of the car you can see the front bumper actually jiggling due to the road surface. |

Link to "www.straightdope.com" Turns out NYPD doesn't have to pay for damages if they wreck someone's car after commandeering it. Police in Texas, Minnesota and New Jersey are the only ones required to reimburse someone for damages. |

Note the car has different (and consecutive) license numbers at different times - 4N-2683 and 4N-2684. |

no wonders why they picked a LeMans.. it looks like it kept crashing for 24 hours...  |
