What happened to his Stutz Bearcats and his Deusenbergs- and how did he know, as Det. Lt. Frank Bullitt, that it was a Winchester pump (it was a M`1897 for sure) being pointed at him and his Mustang in the great car chase scene in "Bullitt"?? Just a glance at 80 plus MPH--RWTF
He appeared in the Sand Pebbles 2 years before Bullit, and as I remember they used several Model 97's in that movie.
McQueen may have been just an actor, but he could drive a car (did all his own work in Bullit and one of the two Fords was his own full race Trans Am car, the other a hopped up 3900. His motorcycle skills were legendery. He was deeply admired by the best trials rider in the world for his skill and determination and went full blown all out in SoCal and Mexican races almost every weekend. I always though he ended up what James Dean wanted to be.
