The 1980 movie The Hollywood Knights is about members of a drag racing club called Hollywood Knights. They find out their regular hangout spot will be closing and demolished to make room for office buildings. So the gang puts together a celebration to hopefully change the town's plans for the new building.
The real star of this film is the 1957 Chevy 210 also known as Project X. This vehicle was canary yellow and belonged to Tony Danza’s character, Duke. Project X stood as a test vehicle for many different engine combinations and other hot rod modifications over the years. While starring in this film, the Chevy featured a really cool number 1 pool ball shift knob and what stood out the most was that it had no hood. The small block Chevy engine was the focal point on this hot rod.
This movie featured so many iconic hot rods like a Ford Galaxie, Le Mans, and a Shelby Cobra. If you have not seen this movie, it looks like one to definitely check out! We here at Jerry Noonan’s Auto Center hope you have been enjoying the Movie Car blog segment. Stay tuned for more!
