The GoldenEagle- The Most Evil Car in America

The GoldenEagle- The Most Evil Car in America

Recently my family and I watched the 1983 movie, Christine by Stephen King and directed by John Carpenter to get into the Halloween spirit this year. As a kid, that movie made me afraid of my grandpa’s 1978 Lincoln Continental Town Car, afraid it would gobble my brother and me while waiting for my grandpa to emerge from the convenient store. Over the years I got over it, but not before scaring my brother with stories about grandpa’s car crushing him if he didn’t leave me alone. After watching the movie, I wanted to learn a little bit about the car and movie.
Christine is a 1958 Plymouth Fury that made more money than the unknown actors of the movie. 15% of the movie's budget was spent on the 23 cars the film-makers acquired by placing ads across the country. There are only three mint condition Christines remained after the movie wrapped up and used for promotion and a fourth, save from the wrecker, was sold to a man. All of this got me thinking, “Could there be a “real life” Christine out in the world claiming lives in mysterious ways?” Turns out there is.

The GoldenEagle 

The GoldenEagle is a Limited Edition 1964 Dodge 330 that is labeled the Most Evil Car in America. It’s current owner, Wendy Allen tells the history of this ominous vehicle as originally being purchased as a police car for Old Orchard Beach, ME. It was then sold to a local man after all three officers to ever drive the vehicle died in bizarre murder-suicides, killing their families and themselves. It then wound up in Allen’s family's position. During this time, the Dodge claimed the lives of 14 people according to Allen. But it turns out the death toll is higher than that. In the 80s and 90s members of different local churches vandalized the car and Allen claims all 32 people died under strange circumstances, 4 of them being hit by lightning. Children became victims as well. Two children, one in the 60s and one in the 80s, were hit by cars and flung across the street to land either under the bumper or on the hood of the GoldenEagle. More recently, after being dared to touch the Dodge, a kid murdered his family and the family dog then burned down the home. In 2010, another church group took it upon themselves to rid the evil car by stealing the car, chopped it up, and distributed it to various junkyards. They believed a demon was living in the car. After Allen searched and asked for help from the internet to retrieve the scattered parts, the church group labeled her, “The Sea Witch of Old Orchard Beach,” and claims she uses the car to cast death spells. After all this, the GoldenEagle never turned on the Allen family as violently as it did to these unlucky folks.

How Movies Portrayed Car Salesmen

How Movies Portrayed Car Salesmen Since the 80s and through the 90s, movies involving car dealerships shined a negative light on car salesmen and painted a stereotypical picture. These comedic characters came off as shady, sleazy, pushy, and willing to do anything to make the sale. The News Wheel has listed the Top 5 Worst Car Salesmen from Movies and they're some pretty bad ones. Here are my three favorites from the list. Rudy Russo from the 1980 film Used Cars . A young Kurt Russell portrays Rudy Russo, a state Senate hopeful. In order to get a $10,000 campaign investment from used car lot owner Luke Fuchs, Rudy must help him sell some cars to keep his business up and running. While doing so, Rudy uses standard stereotypical used car salesmen techniques like cheesy commercials, fast-talking, and pressure selling. He even baits a customer from a competing lot by using a $10 bill on a fishing line to get the man to cross the street. Joey O’Brien from Cadillac Man . The ...

Why Buy Through a Pre-Owned Car Dealership

Why Buy Through a Pre-Owned Car Dealership When you hear the words “used car dealership” you think of pushy salespeople trying to sell you an overpriced clunker. But there advantages to buying from an independent car dealership. And if you keep in mind that not all salesmen are trying to make a quick (and dishonest sale) you just might find the vehicle you deserve. The Advantages If you decide to go the route of buying from a dealer, instead of a private seller, you can choose some extra options for your vehicle. You can opt to have an extended warranty to cover your vehicle after the manufacturer warranty expires, curb rash can be removed, and special promotions may be offered, such as free oil changes or free tire rotations. Dealerships care about their reputation, it’s how they keep customers and gain new ones. So you can expect that customer service will be top-notch and they won’t just wash their hands clean after the sale. Dealers also offer their own financing and financ...
