These bricksightings are nothing new but what’s interesting is that in the past couple of years, we’ve seen a dramatic increase in the 240 symbolize exactly what you mention. It also might be no coincidence that the resale prices of these old rigs have slowly increased as well.
In NBC’s “Friday Night Lights” on of the main characters- Matt Saracen, reconnects with his mother in season two. She drives a white, early 80′s 240 DL wagon. We see the car repeatedly throughout season three as well (a very well done show BTW. I highly recommend it).
In “Marlene Hochkiss’ Ballroom Dancing and Charm School” John Goodman’s character gets released from jail and steals a similar early 80′s 240 wagon in silver that winds up in a fatal accident (and it’s interesting to see how they destroyed the vehicle- i don’t think the type of damage that they portray would actually happen in a 240, but i digress…). Later on in the movie there is a long establishing shot picturing the rear end of a 240 sedan in a parking lot as two characters sit on a curbside out front the dance hall.
There is also a 240 in “Ghostworld”(2001) off the top of my head.
I think it’s pretty funny what these cars have come to symbolize. Cool too. If you drove around Austin, Texas, you would see literally dozens of these babies in any one day. Its also interesting to see what regions they proliferate in throughout the country- Portland, Olympia, Seattle, S.F., Austin, VT, MA, CT, ME, RI, NY….(and I’m sure we can add to the list…)
