Ford Brings Back McQueen's Fast Machine
Next year marks the 40th anniversary of the modern movie car chase scene.
The car chase in the 1968 movie Bullitt — starring Steve McQueen — was faster, more intense and longer than any before it. Many think the real star of that scene was the car, a 1968 Ford Mustang GT. Now Ford is bringing that car back.
