5 Reasons You Wish Uncle Buck Was Your Uncle

3. His Car

Uncle Buck Car Ok, maybe not such an obvious thing when you see it, as Buck's car, which after some research is apparently a 1975 Mercury Marquis Brougham Coupe, is at first sight a heap of junk. But it's a heap of junk with the potential to unleash hell, not least of all with the hatchet he keeps in the boot. With its dazzling colour of two tone brown and rust, Buck's choice of vehicle is a real head turner, although probably not for the right reasons. Anyhow, it certainly helps when it comes to scaring off unwanted attention from Tia's boyfriends, unwanted by Buck at least, with its constant backfires and billowing smoke from the exhaust. It's all part of the character of having someone like Buck as your uncle, and despite these minor niggles, you always have the feeling that Buck knows best, and I for one would be very happy to be driven round town in that all day. And, it's got a big enough boot to fit a body in.
