In the video for Beverly Hills by Weezer, there is a Gremlin that pulls up to the Playboy Mansion as they are performing the song

I love that song and I completely spaced there being a gremlin in the video.

I remember when Weezer's Buddy Holly video came out, I thought they were actually from Kenosha. ;D

Well written.  But, the I-6 had 112 HP, not 100.

I was watching the movie senseless this morning before work and towards the end of the movie there is a scene where Marlon Wayans's character gets mugged for his cloths and as he is being lead into an alley a dark blue Eagle wagon with red primer spots passes by a few moments later as the guy that took his cloths takes off the same Eagle passes by again going in the same direction as before.

If the Javelin hardtop wagon in the last post didn't pique anyone's interest, maybe this will.

That is a very nice painting!
I recognize that little Corgi as Hallie on the Eagle fb groups.
Lurker & unintentional thread killer.
The power of accurate observation is commonly called Cynicism by those who have not got it.
I am not now at my least, rather my most; not reduced, rather at my most complete.
Yes, I stand before you now, naked, unhidden, uncamouflaged and unafraid.
As pure and true as a human being is able to be.

in the movie F/X there are about four Eagles and either a Pacer or a Gremlin (I only caught a small part of the front end) in the scene where the main character and his assistant are trying to get his special effects truck out of the police impound with out being seen.

I watched Splice last night and there was a Gremlin but my eyes were too blurry from the coughing, hacking and sneezing to guess what year! Probably a '78 though.
AMC/Jeep gauges are for amusement only. Any correlation between them and reality is purely coincidental!
