didn't they say when they entered that the entire place had been cleaned out before this part? How would this car be here? -- Last edit: 2008-10-14 17:53:55 |

in the book it was along the lines of 'cleaned out except for a few wrecks that wouldn't start or that nobody had claimed/wanted' don't forget that in the movie it was still a crime scene and it had that bulldozer stored there too |

Those rollers aren't necessarily a contuinity error. They could be used to move around a inoperative drivetrain. etc. vehicle at a junkyard. |

I'd love to know how this Cortina could be specifically identified as a 1968, Ford made them for several years without major changes. -- Last edit: 2011-10-17 18:11:23 |

I would go for 67 or 68 spec - no later than Sept 68 when F O R D lettering appeared on front of bonnet. Usually US imports regarded as 1968+ when they have side reflectors eg /vehicle_88649-Ford-Cortina-1968.html but those look squarer than here. Note also a 1969 US Cortina without side reflectors /vehicle.php?id=318647 to confuse things further. 1968 for this one seems as good a compromise as any for a car which has also been mucked about a bit. Chrome arch trim suggests Super or GT, though US names/details may differ. Not a Lotus as Mk2 never sold in US. -- Last edit: 2011-11-20 22:29:19 |

69+ GT. new side stripes and indicator set in valance for '69. The brochure for '69 proclaiming that the GT has earned its stripes. |

Changed to 69 as ^. For reference to avoid any future quoting, my point above "no later than Sept 68 when F O R D lettering appeared on front of bonnet" applies for Mk2 Cortinas in most markets, but as discovered since, does not apply for US market and for Maltese-assembled cars. We have yet to find out if it applies for Canada which in general terms would absorb US -spec production. |

No F O R D letters on my '67 and '68 canada brochure. |
|

But 69 and 70 brochures would be the interesting ones as the lettering only started in Sept 68.... |

You better do not trust the factory made sales brochures  I don't know, how the quality of the Ford-brochures was, but those, made by Volkswagen, were worst(!) cobblework. The longer a model was running, they became more terrible. Don't think, that they took pics of each new MY or other facelifts. No way - they retouched the pics by hand.You fnd incredible things in them. So for RHD-countries they only mirrored the pics (only the fuel caps were added afterwards, drawn bys hand). At some brochures for Holland they coloured the WOB-plates yellow one great feature is to find in a not very old brochure for South Africa (Golf IV Variant maybe): mirrored pics, sure, photoshop-made GP-plates instead of WOB, sure - but then they mounted a little black boy inside the happy family, totally motiveless and senseless  *Cough* I must admit, that my collection of some specifics of those terrible, painful to see, concotions could be listed in the Guinness Books of Records (if there would be an interest for that. Except the two, three friends with the same interest)  |

oops i looked at the wrong year, none in the 1970 brochure either, maybe its safe to say no F O R D lettering was used in Canada and USA. Ford also played around with their brochures and used the same trick by reversing a rhd images and drawing fuel caps etc. For an early mk2 brochure they even changed a 4dr into a 2dr car and drew the doors the wrong shape. |

Not necessarily an error; non-running cars are sometimes put on trolleys like that in order to make it easier for the car to be moved around. |

I used to mistake this for a Ford Escort. |
