Luke Doolin's '57 Ford Fairlane 500
Thunder Road

Tennessee's Luke Doolin's '57 Ford Tanker. I did a lot of research on this car and many including some photographers agree this car was two-tone green. The movie was black and white so many guessed it was red and white (not likely for a whiskey runner evading the Feds) or blue and white.
I took some liberty and gave old Luke some extra HP with a Paxton blower from the kit I used. I also installed the oil spreader nozzles that Luke's '51 had as I think he would have swapped them over. The Tennessee plates are as quoted late in the movie by Roxie Ledbetter.
