just saw death race in the last scene they are working on a rambler wagon looks like early 60's model

I turned on the TV to watch Life on MArs, and at the end, there was a cool old CJ Jeep

oddly, of all the people i would be shocked to see driving a Matador wagon... Burt Reynolds isn't one of them.

Lastnight we were watching the 1989 movie "Driving Miss Daisy" starring Morgan Freeman, Jessica Tandy and Dan Akroyd. There are allot of beautiful old cars in this movie.

In this movie Dan Akroyd's mother played by Jessica Tandy is aging and no longer able to drive for herself. Dan Akroyd hires Morgan Freeman to be a personal chauffeur for her. The first new car Morgan Freeman drives as her personal chauffeur is a beautiful maroon colored Hudson.

The movie covers several decades, beginning in about 1947 or 1948 starting with the maroon colored Hudson. That Hudson is gorgeous.

Later on in 1966/1967 Morgan Freeman is chauffeuring Jessica Tandy home after the temple bombing scene in a new Cadillac. As they drive through a neighborhood I noticed what I am almost sure is a copper colored AMC Eagle wagon. It is parked in a garage with the garage door open at a fairly nice home. There is a white gooseneck enclosed trailer parked sideways in front of the Eagle wagon and a blue 1967 Chevrolet pickup parked in front of the house.

Then the scene repeats itself as they are driving and talking in the Cadillac and shows the copper colored AMC Eagle at a closer view. We rewound it several times and zoomed in to get a closer look. It's fun to find little errors like this in movies, but especially when we can find AMC cars that were not yet manufactured at the time the movie takes place.

Yes, it is fun to see those goofs now and then.  The best they could do time wise would be 1971 since the Sportabout was so similar.

Yeah it is fun to see little goofs like that in movies.  It drives my wife crazy, but I am really good at spotting them.

That's awesome.  That is something I would have done in High School or college.

in the song "More Than A Woman" by the Bee Gees, it sounds like they are saying
"We can take the Rambler just to make it anytime"
