After dispatching him, Oddjob takes care of the car (with Solo's body still inside!). Goldfinger: Forgive me Mr Bond, but I must arrange to seperate my gold from the late Mr Solo. Bond: As you said, he had a pressing engagement. -- Last edit: 2008-08-08 15:30:01 (G-MANN)

Donington ◊ 2006-09-27 20:25	Doesn't one get crushed?
wickey ◊ 2006-09-27 21:25	yes it does - this one on the main picture - ended like a cube.. visible here /vehicle_18897-Ford-Falcon-Ranchero-1964.html -- Last edit: 2006-09-27 21:28:07
rjluna2 ◊ 2007-01-05 04:21	The engine was removed when this car was crushed. Hence, you can see the other end of the car is heavier than the front.
Red Grant ◊ 2007-12-15 01:02	Beautiful, simply beautiful!
Colorado Bill ◊ 2008-03-02 01:34	They pulled a switcheroo on us. A 1964 drives up to the crusher, but the camera cuts away and when the crane grabs it, it has magically transformed into a (cheaper) 1963.
G-MANN ◊ 2008-03-05 17:04	1963 Continentals have a horizontal chrome across the centre of the grille, right? Otherwise they do look very similar, to me anyway. -- Last edit: 2008-03-05 17:04:17
Doogie53 ◊ 2009-09-11 08:51	The Lincoln that Oddjob is driving is a 1964. The one that goes into the scrap machine is an engineless 1963.

fleetwood75 ◊ 2011-07-10 20:25	pilou wrote Lincoln Continental , 1963. No it's a '64, The one with no engine that gets crushed is a '63
fleetwood75 ◊ 2011-07-10 20:31	JFK's custom, stretched '61 Continental Convertible Limo which LBJ also used as well as the '62, '63 & '64 Continentals have the big block 430 ci MEL (Mercury, Edsel, Lincoln) 4 barrel V8.

Apparently - or so I've heard - the rear suspension of the Ranchero failed under the weight during the first take. There was a mad scramble to the dealer for parts, while the crew cut the crushed cube down for the second take. -Kurt -- Last edit: 2012-02-27 22:41:52
maxman ◊ 2014-10-02 10:42	Apparently the entire crew was silent at destroying a brand new car.
george1998 ◊ 2015-03-13 18:40	It's such a nice car. It's a shame they destroyed it.
tore-40 ◊ 2017-07-29 20:12	In addition to the grille, 1963 has a rounded upper rear corner on the rear door, this area is damaged in the movie, but can be seen in the crusher. Also painted overhang - the area between wheel arch and bumper - front and rear. 1964 has a sharp upper rear corner on the rear door - a bit odd, actually. Overhang front and rear have the lower part covered with chrome - as an extension of the sill covers
Commander 57 ◊ 2017-07-29 20:53	Thanks, tore-40. I love little tidbits of identification information like that.
tore-40 ◊ 2017-07-29 21:00	Not at all, Commander 57
Robi ◊ 2017-10-25 09:36	In the movie script, this car is described as a Cadillac, but they probably used a Lincoln as the Ford Motor Company provided most cars for this movie.
