First in town would be '75 -- they stopped making them in 1980.  They were a good car that was terribly maligned for being different.

I have not seen the movie but I think "first in town" might refer to one of the time changes or a scene in the movie.

Anyone post anything about the movie 'Weird Science'?  in the scene when Gary is driving the blonde girl home in the red Ferrari, and they evade the policemen, and then he passes his parents... Well, they are driving a 4 door Eagle.  Just saw that scene.

I've been watching the first season of a show called 'The Riches' on my snazzy Roku box through Netflix.. so i couldn't tell you if it was on regular TV or on cable somewhere.. but its a good show, and episode 6 or 7 i think, they are in a 'gypsy' camp of sorts, attending a funeral/arranged wedding.. and theres a pretty little yellow and black Gremlin parked behind them.

2 guys are trying to get a 70's Javelin started (assume a 72).  Of course they get slaughtered.  I could tell becuz of the power steering pump and radiator.
