tore-40 ◊ 2018-11-06 21:34	Brand new, indicators added June 1, 1960
Gamer ◊ 2018-11-06 21:34	But the film came out January 12
tore-40 ◊ 2018-11-06 21:50	More info needed then
tore-40 ◊ 2018-11-06 22:17	Possibly a US location?
supcoach ◊ 2018-11-07 01:24	@tore-40 -According to IMDb, it was filmed totally in Spain..
supcoach ◊ 2018-11-07 01:26	@gamer - New models, at least here in the USA, came out in September of each year. So a 1960 model would come out in September 1959. Whether this is true in Spain, I do not know....
tore-40 ◊ 2018-11-07 08:59	@supcoach; I did notice the imdb location listing, but they are often not complete. There are several US cars involved, quite a few, actually, and the US T1 got their indicators back in April 1955. Also the bumper bars are screaming USA, time period Jan-Aug 1958. If you look at the advertising on its side it looks not just fake, but rather clumsy... Edit: August 1958 onwards -- Last edit: 2018-11-07 09:12:34
supcoach ◊ 2018-11-07 13:39	@tore-40 - This also may be stock footage, perhaps filmed in the USA, and used in numerous productions..
50sParis ◊ 2018-11-07 14:26	Background scenery and the 600 Multipla make it almost impossible to have been filmed in the US
