The Real Hero in Vanishing Point

2 years ago Showcase

Vanishing Point, starring Barry Newman, was released in 1971 and features a 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T that one could argue made the movie. Chaos ensues as our lead tries to make it from Denver, Colorado, to San Francisco, California, in just fifteen hours in the Challenger – a drive that takes roughly 19 hours even today. There are likely lots of things you don’t know about the making of the film, and just as many that you don’t know about the famous white Challenger. Our personal favorite is that five Challengers were used in the making of the film, borrowed by the studio at the steep price of $1 per day. Here are 10 little-known things about Vanishing Point’s ’70 Dodge Challenger. But beware if you haven’t seen the film, the article has spoilers!
