W.W. and the Dixie Dancekings(1975)
Back in 1957, sweet-talking W.W. lived in a '55 Olds, loved bubble gum, Errol Flynn, country music, fried chicken, robbing filling stations, and a girl named Dixie. Not necessarily in that order.

W.W. Bright is a robber with a heart of gold who travels the South knocking off banks and gas stations owned by a corrupt businessman.

The two sides eventually take a liking to one another, especially after the Dancekings realize the size of Bright's thefts.
