MattInDetroit Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 If you want to see the actual car from the movie come on out to Chicago and the car sits about 20 min from my house at the Volo Car Museum. Very cool to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubbabow Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 question no one has been able to answer where in the 60s did the nickname Eleanor come from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWEDESHELBY1 Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 I was thinking why we have YET to see the Shelby GT with a Cervinis body kit (Eleanor body style). I think that would be cool to see and do. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webba Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 I saw an Eleanor S197 getting off the highway the other day. It looked awesome going by me. I was in my wagon. I wish I had been in my SGT. If I wasnt heading to a meeting I would have done a U turn and followed him. I havent seen one up close and would love to.

They are extremely nice with the fit & finish of the Cervinis kit just impecable. I have thought about doing a SGT/Cervinis package to my SGT but then decided against it. The SGT looks so freekin good by itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattInDetroit Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 question no one has been able to answer where in the 60s did the nickname Eleanor come from? Cause it didn't! While it's about a lawsuit over the name the history of the name can be found here: http://dallas.bizjournals.com/dallas/stori.../08/story6.html It originated from the 1974 version of "Gone in 60 Seconds" which I had never heard of!

The car thieves gave their "boosts", or cars they were stealing, women code names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clink_merged Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 I'm giving my car a womens code name, I will name my car Debbie and when my wife gets home I will tell her "I'm driving Debbie tonight" She will just give me a strange look and say "I don't think so" <_< My wife's name is Debbie.

I saw the film it is actually a very good car film, but I never knew the name Eleanor name came from that. Even if the cars name was Eleanor, it was a Challenger or Cuda, I think. Excellent chase scenes. It was a LONG time ago so I may be corrected here. B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
