This weekend in 1991 a film opened in theatres only to become an instant hit: Thelma & Louise, about two women – Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis - on the road trip of their lives in a 1966 Ford Thunderbird. The dramatic ending of the movie makes an impact to this very day. We wondered what happened to the car after it ended in the Grand Canyon and found that a total of five identical turquoise Thunderbird convertibles is said to have been used for filming.

At least two of them supposedly survive, with one being sold at a Coys auction in Italy in 2008 for 65,000 dollars – according to the information here it was a 1964 car. This while another was sold with Barrett-Jackson in the US, also in 2008 for 71.500 dollars. There is also one in the collection of the Petersen Automotive Museum, but that may well be one of these two?
