I used to own a 1952 Chevy police cruiser, I had traded my 1949 Chevy Pickup for it, but whenever we made a hard corner it had a bad habit of the doors flying open, lol, the wife didn't like the idea of the kids riding in it

Consequently I had to trade it off.

But I did keep the 1946 International pickup for a number of years. It had individual electric wipers and a roll out windshield to let air in.

The 1949 Chevy pickup was a dinosaur in that wiper respect it had vacuum wipers that ran off the intake manifold so that whenever you climbed a hill the wipers would go slower and slower until you reached the crest then they speed up again. lol.

One thing in their favor was that they were real easy to repair and work on. (PS I owned these vehicles in the 1970's 1980's)

an editing analysis of the car chase from The Seven-Ups (1973)

[Adam Lounsbery]

I watched The Seven-Ups when I was living uptown on Columbus Avenue, and it all looked about right as far as I was concerned. The shots I couldn't reconcile just went in one eye and out the other, but the ones I could recognize gave me a good sense that this was happening around my neighborhood. From the Upper West Side out the GW Bridge and up into the country.

Maybe it's just because it's an awesome car chase, but I don't care that much about the discrepancies in geography.

The discrepancies in geography don't bother me, the editing job is pure movie magic!!
