La Mission - 1964 Impala

Today's post is about La Mission.  Aside from being a great movie, I have a personal interest in it because the company I worked for supplied the air suspension for the vehicular focal point of the movie- a beautiful 1964 Chevrolet Impala.

If you want a synopsis of the movie, click through to http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1200272/ .  The movie stars Benjamin Bratt and was directed by his brother Peter, and it gives a great look into the lowrider culture in San Fransisco.  It's available on Netflix, too, so give it a shot!

These photos were sent to me during the filming of the movie, when the car was first delivered to the set...

There are some other great cars throughout the movie, but of course this one stands out because I had an indirect hand in its creation!

Be sure to check out this movie if you have a chance- it never saw widespread release, but it's a very well-made film.
