A friend of mine has a video of this movie. It was originally released in 1959
as "Girls Town" and re-released in 1964 as "The Innocent and the Damned". The
car is a longdoor TR2 piloted by none other than the "Velvet Fog" Mel Torme!
Here's a link to the movie info on the internet movie database.
http://us.imdb.com/Title?0052850
If you look at the poster you can see the TR2 and the hot rod in the lower left
corner.
Cheers,
Kurt Oblinger
I've got a longdoor 2 but I sure can't sing!

There is a show at the LA county Museum of Art on now that has a scene from
an hot rod movie showing a TR2 racing a hot rod in the LA river channel (
with they're hands off the steering wheels ). The show is called Made In
Califorina and the movie is THE INNOCENT AND THE DAMMNED--all star cast.
