Why did that Mustang get the name 'Eleanor'. Where did that name come form?


The 50 cars they needed to steal all got code-named girl's names so the cops wouldn't catch on. The Shelby just happened to get Eleanor. There were some pretty sweet other cars in that movie too.

The Ferrari in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off"
The Porsche in "Bad Boys"
The Sherman in "Tank" (lol)
The TVR in "Swordfish"
Nitti's car in "The Untouchables"
The Caddy in "True Romance"

Speaking of caddys... "As your attorney, I advise you to rent a very fast car with a convertible top, preferably red" (come on, you know the movie...)
