After
"The Thing" makes its escape, two guys jump in their brand-new
1972 Imperial LeBaron... |

...to begin
the chase. |

The villain of
the movie, a '69 F*rd! |

Meanwhile, the
'72 LeBaron makes up ground effortlessly, taking the curves with ease. |

The Imperial's
440 4-barrel motor has plenty of punch, even for such a B-I-G car. |

These two in
the '72 Imperial back off as they approach the fleeing Ford, hoping to
remain unnoticed as they tail it. Pretty hard to do in an
Imperial, however! (Note rear view mirror is missing for filming.) |

Nice view over
the expansive hood, from the front passenger's seat. |

Uh oh,
"The Thing" with Rosey Grier's and Ray Milland's heads is now
aware of the LeBaron that's been tailing them. Rosey flashes a gun
and orders the driver to "step on it." |

The
yellow-shirt-guy hails a passing cop. Good view of the 1972
Imperial LeBaron's vinyl roof. |

The '72
Plymouth cop car would be large today, but the Imperial dwarfs it in
size! |

The '72
Imperial's fuselage body looks elegant in its Charcoal Metallic paint. |

Hidden
headlights and surround bumper give the 1972 LeBaron a clean look from
the front. |

At this point
in the chase, Rosey Grier has commandeered the 1969 Ford. He's not
too impressed by its get-up-and go, though, telling the car's owner: "Man,
this car's a real dud!" |

Later, the '72
Imperial gives us a great view of it's hidden headlights. Now you
see 'em.... |

Now you don't! |
