Best use of an automatic I’ve seen!
Trying to remember this movie..... blank.
Well that's James Darren and don't know the chick. Street rod has a 348 probably so movie has to be 1958 or newer.
Maybe one of the Gidget movies........
Ok looks like Pamela Tiffin and she was in the movie 'For Those Who Think Young with James Darren (1964).....Well that's James Darren and don't know the chick. Street rod has a 348 probably so movie has to be 1958 or newer.

THE LIVELY SET 1964 Hot Rod Movie on DVD - James Darren Pamela Tiffin. Hear the Safaris' song Boss Barracuda
THE LIVELY SET 1964 Hot Rod Movie on DVD - Hear the Safaris' song Boss Barracuda. Stars James Darren & Pamela Tiffin. A college dropout would rather play with hot rods until he meets a special girl. They get engaged and go to San Francisco...
Dang, is that Brandy, eyes don't like chebby's, eyes like Plum Crazy pistol shit Mopar's
Cruising the strip in Toronto in 1964........ 
Saw an ad in Hemmings recently for a 63 1/2 427 Galaxie......brought back this memory
so I posted it there.......
It's spring 1964 in Toronto and some buddies and I are cruising Yonge St. the main drag in Toronto where all the hot cars cruised up and down on a Saturday night. Several dealerships on the strip had some high performance machines sitting on their used car lots and we had to stop in to check them out. Piggott Ford in Willowdale (North Toronto) had a white 63 1/2 Galaxie 427 4 speed hidden in the second line. We gathered around examining it and even popped the hood to see two huge Holleys - I got in behind the wheel. Remembering there was a Ford key on my ring for my Dad's 64 Fairliane - I decided to try it.
Nice fit - pump twice- - turn - crank - start. The 427 fired up and sounded like a thunder storm was about to descend. For a minute I thought 'joy ride' but cooler thoughts prevailed and I shut her down. I still dream about that car tho, we were all Chevy fans and no one went back on Monday to see what the price was. The same group would go on to buy all the new Chevy offerings for several years but never even mentioned our chance at running Yonge St in a (albeit borrowed) 63 1/2 427 Galaxie 4 speed.
Gorgeous car, white with red interior.
keep your motor runnin'

So much greatness in this photo
Been reading Jim Wangers' book Glory Days (for the second time) and he mentions racing a 59 Catalina
three on the tree. As we all know the 1-2 shift is terrible and Jim realized this as well........
.
He installed a 411 gear and launched in second...........imagine some spectators ..."hey - there was only one shift"...
