somename ◊ 2011-08-13 19:10	Yes; thank you very much. As it does not have the Mark V script under the louvers, it is a 77 or 79, given the date of release, I think it's safe to call it a 77. By the way there's another 72 Continental in the thumbnail you were so kind to supply; they must have cleaned out the used car lot of a Lincoln dealer, I've never seen so many early 70s Lincolns in a movie.

Trim, color, and interior options are the only way to tell the three years apart. There were no external badge variations of any kind. Ironically enough, the torn-off trim (see below) indicates that the beige car was gray to begin with, and painted beige for the movie. This also explains the bright pink Mark V also used in this movie: -Kurt -- Last edit: 2012-03-14 16:59:02 (antp)
