Based on GM [J] platform. |

I have reason to believe this car was actually made in Flint, making its appearance in this scene especially heartbreaking. (A family is being evicted right before Christmas.) |

I don't think so. Skyhawks were not made at the Flint plant. My '75 Electra, and '67 Riviera were made at Flint. |

Thanks for catching that. But I still think this car's presence is related to Buick's plant and headquarters being located in Flint, perhaps an employee bought it new as part of an employee incentive/discount program. I don't know if this person being evicted was a former Buick worker or if perhaps this car was a hand me down from one. This poor, battered car being loaded up by an evicted family, still serves as a sad metaphor for what happened to this town and these people. I wish we could've gotten the story about why the driver's side windows are busted out, I wonder if it was the result of a car burglary. (Crime skyrocketed when the plants closed.) I'm assuming we see plastic because if the woman couldn't pay her rent, she certainly couldn't have afforded to get the windows fixed and probably couldn't even afford the insurance that would've taken care of it. |
