Shelby Mustang GT500, Expedition and Escape Hybrid co-star in “I Am Legend.”
In the blockbuster film, “I Am Legend”, Will Smith drives the deserted streets of a futuristic New York City in a red 2007 Shelby Mustang GT500 with signature white stripes. The first few minutes of the movie shows Smith’s character, Robert Neville, in the Shelby GT500 chasing a herd of wild deer through the empty streets of Manhattan.
Throughout the movie Will Smith also shares scenes with a Ford Expedition. At the end, Smith uses the aptly named, and environmentally friendly, Ford Escape Hybrid to depart New York City.
“I Am Legend” isn't the first movie version of Richard Matheson's 1954 science fiction novel to feature a red Ford vehicle. A 1971 adaptation called “The Omega Man” put Charlton Heston behind the wheel of a bright-red 1970 Ford LTD.
