The 2010 film is about a genuine (female) labour dispute and its political consequences which occurred in summer 1968, starting in early June of that year. Given the film's title, and very fixed date in History, attention to detail on Ford cars is less than precise and members of this site should be able to spot many minor anachronisms. It is a very good film of its type however.

It is used as a "passion wagon" by two of the principal actors and the quality of the rear seat stitching is discussed technically. (As well as who stitched it). An important thread to the plot! The star system probably wasn't devised with this in mind. Possibly a "three" ? But at least a two!
