Ahhh, old American muscle car. SO perfect for Clint. XD

They always draw cars so ambiguously - there are a few things it could be:

Olds 442 (http://joffroiholcombe.com/projects/oldsmobilecentral/assets_c/2010/10/1001phr_181_o%2B1968_chevy_camaro%2B1970_oldsmobile_442_w30-thumb-1600x1200-139.jpeg)

Chevy Nova (http://intoxreport.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/nova1.jpg)

Pontiac GTO (http://www.netcarshow.com/pontiac/1968-gto/800x600/wallpaper_01.htm)

I know there are more out there that resemble this car, but I can't remember their names. XD Of these three, though, I'm thinking that the Pontiac looks closest.

Yesssss, and you just know he loves it to pieces.

Ooh, yay, suggestions! I think I'm agreeing with you on the Pontiac, too.

OMG YESSSSSSSSSSSS. SO perfect.



What about an old-school Dodge Charger?

Dodge Charger (http://www.google.com/imgres?hl=en&safe=off&sa=X&biw=1236&bih=606&tbm=isch&prmd=imvns&tbnid=GjrRfp38wtOVaM:&imgrefurl=http://www.fark.com/comments/4832774/-13-year-old-girl-leads-police-on-a-high-speed-chase-In-other-news-a-1994-Pontiac-Grand-Am-is-a-muscle-car&docid=boiobB2gBgbcQM&imgurl=http://blogs.timeslive.co.za/wheeldeal/files/2009/03/dodge-charger-rt.jpg&w=510&h=383&ei=zRT4T82mAdG10QGFpfi4Bg&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=295&vpy=210&dur=4858&hovh=194&hovw=259&tx=131&ty=88&sig=103916374824702513477&page=1&tbnh=114&tbnw=176&start=0&ndsp=18&ved=1t:429,r:7,s:0,i:138)

Granted I think the taillights were a little different on later models, but I'm pretty sure there were some late 60's models with those taillights too.

I effing love that possibility b/c that's kind of like the badass James Dean version of classic muscle cars. It's such an unbelievably cool choice-- that's what the bad guy in Bullit drove. This bit of possible!headcanon just makes me all kinds of happy inside.

But also-- could be the GTO. Which is a very cool choice too.

Also, the same car Michael Weston drives in Burn Notice. (And thinking of Michael and Clint discussing classic cars and fucked up families and very dangerous women they love... well hello there, happy place!)

OMG I totally forgot about that!

We need this fic like WHOA.

A GTO! I knew I loved the man for a good reason! Of course he would drive a GTO! *grins*

I was going to say 1972 Buick Skylark based on the shape of the windows and the fins on the trunk, but the tail lights are wrong... (I'm not a car girl either, but my uncle used to have one)

Good luck with your search. I hope someone can figure it out for you.

Ooh, I didn't think of that! rusty_chevy above had some good suggestions, so I think we'll be able to crack it.

Or at least, have a list of ideas for various headcanons *g*

I know nothing about cars. (Seriously, if I ever saw, God forbid, like a hit and run, I would be useless to the cops.

Cops: What kind of car was it?

Me: It was blue.

Cops: Sedan or coupe?

Me: ...yes?

Cops: ...)

However the thought of Clint driving around the desert (?) in a muscle car pleases me :D

Also... 'Fury's Big Week'?

Comics are weird.

*laughs* Oh, man, I'd totally be the same.

And yess, it was the desert! He's driving through New Mexico in that panel. And it pleases me, too. It's so very...him.

Oh! Fury's Big Week is a tie-in comic with the movies, putting IM2, Thor, and Incredible Hulk as all happening in the same week, which both makes sense in some cases (where Coulson has to run off to in IM2 + Fury's reference to 'bigger things happened in the south-west' to Stark + none of the movies otherwise reference each other, which'd make sense if they all happened roughly at once) and...doesn't in other cases.

But it does also partly explain why Nat's so wary of Banner - in the comic, just after the Stark Expo, Fury told her to chase after Banner, putting her in the line of danger (with buildings falling on her) twice in a couple of days, and seeing first-hand the damage and terror. But then in the Avengers, she has that rage pointed at her, so it's already building up on her "!!!!" that she got from that week.

It's...mostly a fun comic, but some bits make me side-eye the authors, so I'm picking and choosing what I'm using from it.

I remember there was one panel where Clint asked why Natasha couldn't babysit the Tesseract instead of him, and Fury said something along the lines of "I know better than to put that woman in an underground base full of men." It kind of rubbed me the wrong way, especially since the artists can't resist sexualising Natasha at every turn.

Clint's response was something like "Can't argue with that," which still rubs me the wrong way but gives me shipper feels nonetheless.

There's another movie tie in comic where Clint and Nat flirt a bit. I think it's called 'The Avengers Initiative.'

Yeah, Thor and IM2 happening at basically the same time makes perfect sense, especially with the extra Coulson scene at the end of IM2 (if I'm remembering my movies correctly; it's 1am here). I've never seen Incredible Hulk but yeah, I like the tie-in with Natasha and Banner. It would explain why she seemed kind of extra-twitchy around him in India.

Clint driving through NM in a muscle car... *goes to her happy place*

It's like a cross between an old school 1968 Dodge Charger and 1969 Chevy Camaro. It's definitely something Luke Duke would drive, that's for sure.

I come bearing the Chevrolet Chevelle (http://www.flemingsultimategarage.com/galleria_images/1406/1406_main_f.jpg). My friend thinks it's an early 70s model.

And the more I look at it... what car was Clint driving at the end of the movie?

I'm pretty sure it was a black SHIELD car of some bland, company-car-fleet appearance, but I cooooould very well be wrong there.

A 1/32nd scale matte black 1971 Chevelle (http://www.flickriver.com/photos/nifmus/3183169223/)... the perfect present for Natasha to give to Clint. He smiles at her when she drops it into his hand, that slow, easy smile that says that he gets it. That he understands the gesture.

She bumps his shoulder with hers. "Thought of you when I saw it."

One of his fingers moves one of the wheels but he doesn't have time to play with it more as Fury walks into the room, the meeting officially called to order. When she looks over again, he's got it back out, tucked into hand where his thumb can trace over the smooth body.

Best present ever, she decides.

**KEYSMASH OF HAPPINESS**

Lurve this. :D

Kinda reminds me of a Gran Torino :)

Purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrty. :)

It looks more like a Dodge Charger or Challenger, but yeah, ambiguous car is ambiguous. Frankly, you can put Clint driving any of the old American muscle cars and that would be completely in character for him. Boy definitely has a Charger/Boss/GTO somewhere in a garage somewhere, you just know it.

(and I bet you it's purple... LOL)

With black detailing!

BTW, asked my car-nerd brother this afternoon and he thought it might be a Chevelle (http://image.chevyhiperformance.com/f/9984922/0808chp_03_z+custom_chevy_chevelle+rear_side_view.jpg).

Ahahahaha *facepalms* I love it how we just keep coming up with ideas.

Oh, well, we have a lot to choose from for our various headcanons!

The more the merrier!
