171K views and 900+ comments in a few hours, for yet another Mustang, that isn't a new model year, I think you have the answer to McQueen and Bullitt's relevance haha He's certainly no longer a pop icon, despite a revival around 2008, but as a Car Guy (trademark), he's still rank and file. Acting was a means to survive, driving was his life for about two decades. And that's why his name still resonates today, even for this 35 year old. Watch 3 movies of him in a row though, and you will also see why he rose to fame so quickly, in a decade already filled with pretty blond actors. superstars like him, would still be instantly famous if they were discovered today.
