"Cars 2" movie from Pixar/Disney had a lot of small details of conversion to automotive looking architecture

 they call it Big Bentley in the movie

 They were right smart to label it Holden

 Leave Spring under the above bridge, and replacing the cables in the London Bridge below

 through out the movie you'll see statues of cars instead of people

 I totally dig the wire wheel in the Eiffel tower, could be based on Kelsey Hayes, but who knows

 the side of the Notre Dame looks like an exhaust header

 A valve cover topping the Arc De Triumphe

 a piston for an elevator

 A Boyce Motormeter in the above building

 the light shade looks like an type of engine

I didn't see all of these the first time or the second time I watched the movie... but I saw a lot of them, and found the rest when looking for them specifically for this post

We count our victories by the bombers we get to their targets, by the husbands we return to their wives, by the fathers we get back to their children.

Terrence Howard and Cuba Gooding, both are oscar winners, and this looks like the best aerial combat movie since Pearl Harbor, or Flyboys

Want to see the Pomona dragstrip with 1964 action? With Tommy Ivo's, Don Garlits', and the Greer Black Prudhomme top fuel rails? Plus Dean Jeffries Manta Ray in action. What if you have to put up with a 60's Annette and Frankie Beach Party type movie? well, it was worth it to get these shots

The movie starts with the bunch of surfer-dragster-dancer kids going to the beach to surf. That trailer has very era correct art, just take a look at the "Monster shirts" of Mouse, Jeffries, Roth, and Von Dutch... especially the Mouse art http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/01/mouse-monster-shirts.html

 and here are a couple close ups

 And the same artist did the set work of Don Rickles' character's bar

 below photo has a couple cool dragsters on the wall behind the musician's stage

Dean Jeffries' Manta Ray in action, and towing a dragster http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/09/why-did-dean-jeffries-mantaray-have-289.html

the above C&T Automotive slingshot has a word painted just above the parachute, "Britannia" but it only appears on the car half the time this dragster is on screen

The movie edittors must have been going to Movie "Grade School" becuase they were real bad. The clip I got from a drag race sequence was flipped backwards, notice the above dragsters lettering

 Tommy Ivo's famous "Showboat" , in the below video, which has the movie clip of it running down the track, Tommy explains how he engineered the 4 engines to work simultaneously

Don Rickles in the red jumpsuit, his character runs the dragstrip and owns the bar "Big Drag's Pit Stop" at the beginning of this post

 There were about 10 sligshot dragsters on the movie set, the Manta Ray, and the Show Boat

  Pontiac Tempest or Bonneville wagon for a team push car, way cool rims

And they even went so nuts as to include a guy in a chimp suit thoughout the entire movie, and even had it drive a Harley Davidson Topper scooter, http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/06/how-did-harley-owners-ever-reinvent.html but with a sidecar... I've never seen a Topper with a sidecar... quite kooky

1955 Ferrari 750 Monza Scaglietti Spider, one of 35 built, race winning in Phil Hill's masterful hands, and starred with Fred Astaire driving it in a Gregory Peck movie
