That and Milners coupe!!!!

i love that car!!!

Pete Chapouris customized a 1934 Ford three window coupe, selected on sight by the producers. The '34 would become legendary among customizers and hot rodders. Incidentally, the close-up shot of the car's engine in the movie is not in fact that of the '34 coupe featured, but is a masked shot of the engine in another legendary film car, the '32 Ford from "American Graffiti"^{[citation needed]}.

At the time Chapouris created the car, the customizing style he employed was at odds with most contemporary enthusiast thinking, and it was generally considered "old-fashioned" in a world where "resto-rodding" (a style of customizing which is sympathetic to the car's original design and specification) was the current trend. However, this old-time styling of the car made it perfect for its role in the movie, wherewith a few tweaks (added dummy sidepipes and the substitution of '60's-era Halibrand wheels for more era-correct steel wheels and Ford hubcaps)--it provided the perfect example of a well-built '50s hot rod. Such was the impact of the car in its role in the movie, today the name "The California Kid" refers more to the car itself than the film among rodders.

For its role in the film, the words "The California Kid" were added just below the side windows on both sides in a script-type lettering, along with the flourish of an extra piece of small flame paintwork alongside it. The extra flames were quickly deleted after filming (they were rather unnatractive and not in keeping with the style of flames already applied to the car) though the script has remained ever since.

Thanks guys... Now I got to watch it again...
