Famous Cars Of The Big Screen: The 1948 Ford Convertible From Grease

Greased Lightnin'

Every month we’ll be talking about the most famous cars that have appeared on the big screen and will always be remembered for that very reason.

This month we’re taking a closer look at that classic 1948 Ford Convertible from Grease

______________________

This car could be systematic, hydromatic, ultramatic – why couldn’t it be Greased Lightnin’?! Well, it could actually. In perhaps the most famous scene from the classic movie musical, this battered 1948 Ford Deluxe is transformed into ‘Greased Lightning’ after a major makeover from those crazy T-birds.

You’ll also remember that the car also takes centre stage when Danny Zuko (John Travolta) drives it to victory in a drag race against rival gang the Scorpions.

And if you’re interested in taking the car for a spin, all you need to do is get in touch with these guys in the UK – who’s up for it?

Take a look at the classic clip below – enjoy!
