The 2006 hit comedy, Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby is one of my all time favorite movies and Will Ferrell, who plays the NASCAR driver Ricky Bobby, is one of my favorite actors. This movie is about a man named Ricky Bobby who wants to go fast. As a kid, his father told him, “If you ain’t first, you’re last” and this mantra has been a part of his life as he became to be one of the best race car drivers out there.
The cars that were used for this movie were sold off in an auction. Ricky’s #26 Wonder Bread car, pictured above, is a 2004 Chevy Monte Carlo body with the whole race car package underneath. The other car Will Ferrell drove, the ME car is a 2004 Ford Taurus body with all the necessary components to make it a race car. Since these are race cars, they cannot legally be driven on the street. So the people who were lucky enough to win these cars at the auction are definitely collectors.
We here at Jerry Noonan’s Auto Center thank you for tuning in for another Movie Car segment. Hope you have a great rest of your week!!
