The brown-grey hatchback. Car of the main character at the beginning of the movie, but used only for few minutes, and the picture above is the only exterior view. By the way, if somebody can recognize the red car... (it could be listed as minor action vehicle but there is not really view of it  ) |

Film credits do not list a character's first name and surname for the role played by Mr. Douglas. In fact the only title given for this role is exactly what the license plate reads: "D-FENS." Wikipedia says that the character's name "William Foster" is only mentioned in the film once. -- Last edit: 2009-11-20 07:04:24 |

How can someone differentiate a 1976 from a 1978 from the rear? The only difference I know is the grille. |

According to the Dammann book, the 4-door was introduced as the 1978 model year. This one seems to have the basic trim level.  Unless if anybody object my finding, I would say this is 1978/79 model year. |

I can't believe I never knew that. Its definitely not any newer than 1979 due to the taillights. |

Being laid off, being left by his wife...driving an entry level Chevy shitbox with a measly 63 horsepower 1.6 liter engine...limping from 0 to 60 mph in over 14 seconds. Mr. D-Fens really had no luck in life, did he? |

Is that somebody's backyard they decided to call "car museum" or is it actually indoors now? |

Most of it is an actual museum indoors, the yard is basically just an overflow lot of vehicles that aren't currently on display and need restoration work. |
