It was a made for TV movie starring a young Martin Sheen. Here's the synopsis from IMDB.com:

In 1958, in a small town named Clarksburg, an over-zealous Sheriff punishes speeding drivers heavily, even running them off the road and killing them in extreme cases. However, one day, the brother of one of his victims drives into the town in a mean 1934 Ford hot rod looking for a showdown with the Sheriff, and the stage is set for a duel of wits and driving ability.

Here's the car, I am sure you will recognize it. In the movie it ran red steelies with big/little tires and a hot rodded flathead but in real life it's a small block windsor. Revell even made a model kit of it. I built several and sold them over the years. Beer money!

Two Lane Black Top. I've watched it wayyy to many times. I know its a chevy but I want my car to be like the car in the movie. Flat Black, Fiberglass everything, big block.

The first one that comes to my mind was American Grafitti (1973), loved all the old iron in that one. Now I will watch old movies or period flicks to see the old cars.

Maybee not the best car flick by far but the movie "Blow" with Johnny Dep is a reel good movie and if you look carfully when Johnny Dep goes to pick up his daughter from his recently split up wife ,you will see a Ford Fairmont Parked in the driveway. Im sure there are other Famous Faimont in other movies,

Ya , they blow up a blue Zyphyr in the resent movie " New Country For Old Men " not so good for the car but a good movie.
