There is a silver one in Dirty Harry. It drives by as Harry is walking up the steps of the courthouse. Has the top up? In SF?

Because SF is surronded on three sides by water, It it usually cooler that the rest of the Bay Area. You can always spot the tourists because they are wearing shorts and new SF logo sweatshirts.jrusso07 wrote:There is a silver one in Dirty Harry.

Re: Roadsters in the movies!!
Saw roadster in the movie "Eve of Destruction" (BTW bad movie, with Gregory Hines as some kind of CIA assassins, a lady-robot (Eve), didn't watch whole movie). https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0101831/
Anyway, as "Eve" is walking on the street, saw a white roadster parked along a curb. Has the three tail lights/reflectors in a line up the back panel (unlike my 1970, which as only two taillights and then the reflector off to the side of them). Sorry, I didn't get a pic.
Just an FYI.

Also a low windshield Roadster was prominent in a 1973 episode of the TV show Emergency. Lady wrecks it rear ending a tanker truck. Fortunately all ends well except for the Roadster.

Re: Roadsters in the movies!!
Okay not a roadster but if you have Disney plus and are watching Loki there is a 411 wagon in episode 5.

Re: Roadsters in the movies!!
I had to look up images to make sure. My father had both a 411 and 510 wagon, both of which I drove.

Re: Roadsters in the movies!!
Think I found a new one! 2021 documentary "Sinatra in Palm Springs: A Place He Called Home" on YouTube. At 1:12:49 they begin an interview in Le Velurias reataurant. As they pan the lobby from the inside, outside on the street is a yellow roadster with black soft top up. Cool movie if you're into mid-century modern architecture too.
