I just watched Back to the Future II
I noticed a Hornet(maybe a Concord?) with a wrecked front end
and a Green Javelin in front of the principles house in the alt 85

Haven't exactly had a sighting in a movie or TV, but I found a site that lists movie cars (its searchable!), figure it fits here....
Here is the link to the page that lists Eagles (of course I think WAY more have been listed here, but its still neat).

Last Saturday there was an article in the Motor News Section of the local paper that featured a guy who has restored one Hudson and was in the process of restoring another one to race.  Too bad I tried to save it and cannot find it now.  :(

I havent seen the commercials but I will watch.  According to tvguide.com...
This Wednesday at 9 pm/ET, Discover Channel's MythBusters — led by Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage — returns with a "Demolition Derby Special," in which our stalwart experimenters try to flip a bus (à la Speed), compact a compact car, and mimic a remarkable Lexus commercial.

I just checked the discovery channel page, and supposedly tonights show is in Alaska. They only mention a couple of myths, and the one that involves a car is "can a V shaped snow plow really split a car in two".  [insert noise of despair here] Hopefully I misread and they're doing somthng else to it....

I saw this commercial last week and thought that they were smashing an Eagle wagon. :'( I hope it goes out in true Mythbusters style.

I'm appalled.  They should demolish something replaceable.

seems pretty accurate to the commercial.

sad ending, but thats the 1st time a eagle has been on a bigtime tv show in a while.
