An Unlikely Movie Star: 1972 Ford Gran Torino
june 2009 by amdavidson
"Clearly, the makers of Gran Torino didn't just happen upon this car... they chose it very carefully for its symbolic value. Both Walt and his car are products of another time--they don't make 'em like that anymore. A '72 Gran Torino represents the last gasp of the glory days when old-school Detroit reigned supreme... Walt Kowalski's glory days. Today, it's a nigh-forgotten relic, a symbol of an America that no longer exists... just like Walt. It's Walt's personal shrine, a symbol of his idealized memory of the way things used to be. But in the cold light of history, with all sentimentality stripped away, maybe the "good ol' days" weren't so unfailingly great after all. In the end, Walt's Gran Torino shows us that the American dream isn't what it used to be, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. A pitch-perfect job of automotive casting, I'd say."
