Watching vintage car chase videos is a sort of guilty pleasure of ours, and we'll guess we're not alone there. The 1970s were probably the golden era of the silver screen car chase, and progressively more dramatic maneuvers and crashes seemed to be the order of the day.
We came across this one recently on YouTube, and we're not even sure of the movie's title--it's a French Canadian production, replete with French dialog, but that really doesn't matter here. This chase takes place in Montreal in the mid-'70s, with a '71-'73 Mustang that gives the impression of being a Mach 1 but is probably just a SportsRoof, judging from the plain flat hood. The pursuing vehicle is a '68 Buick four-door that is most likely a Special, given its spartan vibe. The inappropriate engine sound dubbing and inconsistent damage and other details on the Mustang are pretty typical of the genre and era, but the stunts are worth watching. Plus, any '70s street scenes are good for period car spotting. Check it out.
