Agreed - the last year for the brand, no model name.

Great Find!
Dear God, please tell me it stays intact throughout the movie!
FYI-there's a De Soto County, MS (not used for filming, however)

The guy they threw out of the vehicle was still alive.

In the South during the 1960s, KKK members were also known for abducting African Americans off the streets or from their homes.

If they wanted to send a message to other African Americans or other civil rights workers, they usually would take them to an area on the outskirts of town where they would assault and bashed them and would decide whether or not to kill them.

In cases where the KKK decides to leave their victims alive, they would tell their victim if they didn't leave the area or would return to the area, they would be killed, before being taken back to town and dumped there in front of witnesses as a warning to others.

Before being taken back to town, they were also warned not to contact the FBI, or they would be track down and killed.

The KKK would even sometimes "brand" their victims with the letters "KKK" on their body to let potential witnesses know who were responsible for the attack on their victim and what could happen if they choose to report the attack.
