Appearance in Movies
It was one of the race cars in the Kenny Rogers' movie Six Pack. It was a NASCAR driven by Brewster Baker's arch nemesis Turk in the Grand National race. In the movie it is called a Buick for some reason. The actual car was built by Negre Brothers Racing and run by them during the 1981 NASCAR season. It was sold to Buddy Arrington in December 1981, who in turn served as a technical consultant and a driver for the filming of the movies racing scenes driving the Mirada.

Famous quotes containing the words appearance and/or movies:
“The fear of death is indeed the pretence of wisdom, and not real wisdom, being the appearance of knowing the unknown.”
—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
“Commercial jazz, soap opera, pulp fiction, comic strips, the movies set the images, mannerisms, standards, and aims of the urban masses. In one way or another, everyone is equal before these cultural machines; like technology itself, the mass media are nearly universal in their incidence and appeal. They are a kind of common denominator, a kind of scheme for pre-scheduled, mass emotions.”
—C. Wright Mills (1916–62)
