Eagle in National Lampoons Vacation

Found this little surprise about half way through the movie. It is at the point when they are leaving the Grand Canyon.
The family truckster is in the background.  :rotfl:

Apparently there are two other Eagle sightings in that movie, one when they are getting gas, and the other when Clark is running out of the motel after grabbing the money from the drawer.  Probably all the same Eagle?

I was about to say no way then realized I was thinking of Cannonball Run.  Released in 83 not surprising to see an Eagle.

Hi. Matt here. There is also a copper 73-74 AMC Javelin with a white stripe going the opposite direction when the Griswolds are leaving Chicago.
