He drives a FORD truck! HAHA, get it? Get it!?
1950 - a pale green, 1949 GMC pick-up truck (but I don't think it's his).
1990s - a green, 1952 Plymouth
His car in "Crusade" is the tricky one...

According to City of the Gods (which never got made of course!) he drives a BMW 328 Roadster, which makes good sense to me.
He drives a FORD truck! HAHA, get it? Get it!?In an early draught of "Crusade", Indy drove a Ford Coupe! Marcus has a coupe in "Raiders" but I don't think it's a Ford.:(
According to City of the Gods (which never got made of course!) he drives a BMW 328 Roadster, which makes good sense to me.If Indy bought German than I guess he wasn't holding any grudges after the war!;) He also drove, what is described as, an "olive-drab panel truck" in City of the Gods (the one that Yuri borrows and turns into a fake US military vehicle) which would have looked something like this but olive and in better condition. Several companies made them but I chose a Ford, of course.
1955 Ford F-100 panel truck:

Some brief, related ones for anyone with interest:
W-W-I-D? Circa 1950? (http://raven.theraider.net/showthread.php?t=10390&highlight=Plymouth) "WWID" is supposed to mean "What Would Indy Drive?"

If you mean the long black car that pulls into the driveway at Henry's house, it's a 1934 Chevrolet.

I remember when I came back from Asia at the airport to rent a car, I had to ask, "What would Indiana Jones pick?" and then I saw it..... and had to go with it.

For that brief period of time, the feeling was right.... too bad no Nazis or enflamed arabs were on hand.... :gun:

Eh, I can see the reasoning. The vague suggestion of running boards and all.
If you mean the long black car that pulls into the driveway at Henry's house, it's a 1934 Chevrolet.Yes, that's the one I mean (Indy gets out of the driver's seat) and I believe you're right! I thought it might have been a Ford but it was lacking the the bow in the front fender & shield-shaped grille that are so distinctive of Fords from the early '30s. Good eye, Koosh, and nice to see you posting again!:hat:

Jones wouldn't drive no PT cruiser.Don't put it past him.:p Not that model posted above but maybe an earlier one (after his Plymouth conked out!)

thank you! It has a 40s look, at least as close as you can get at the car rental....
I was reminded of an old Fantastic Four comic where Sue Storm and Nick Fury I think were stuck in the 40s and had to blend their SHIELD car into NYC and the best they could so was a hologram of a UPS truck. It just sorta went from there.... :o
