The 'Winton Flyer' was a fictional creation purpose-built for the 1969 movie starring Steve McQueen, as Boon Hogganbeck, in The Reivers.

The vehicle featured so prominently in the light comedy based on William Faulkner's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, that McQueen called it "the real star of the picture".
