1986 Mercedes-Benz 560 SEC from Road House

With the death of Patrick Swayze (1952-2009), I thought that it would be a good idea to post about one of his movies and see if there are any cool classic car in them.

The one that stood out in my mind was Road House where Patrick Swayze played a bouncer named Dalton in a small town bar that's overrun with corruption.  Alas, Dalton was no ordinary bouncer.  He had a philosophy degree and a practiced tai chi.  He used his expertise in both discipline to clean up the dirty bar.  You should be able to catch Road House on cable TV every once in awhile.  It's always shown on the Spike Channel and TNN.

Deeply entrenched in the thoughts of many movie fans as a romantic icon from his blockbuster hits Dirty Dancing and Ghost, Patrick Swayze's Road House has a special place in the hearts among his fans for being a movie so bad that it's good.  It's also a guy movie with lots of hot girls with big hair, bar fights with guys in mullets, monster trucks, and, of course, sweet cars.  Dalton drove a nice sky blue 1986 Mercedes-Benz 560 SEC.  Too bad it was destroyed.

RIP Patrick Swayze.
