CougarTim ◊ 2011-11-19 16:55	Any other possibilities? This is supposed to be late 1976 in Canada. If it is definitely a '79 Newport, then the filmmakers definitely inserted some unrelated footage to the segment: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpUMSarCSQw (Car in question appears at about 4:12) -- Last edit: 2011-11-19 17:01:31
somename ◊ 2011-11-19 17:07	^If this is 1976 how come all these 79 LTDs appear a few seconds earlier? Also there is a 78-79 Ford Bronco about 30 feet behind it: /vehicle_451123-Ford-Bronco.html -- Last edit: 2011-11-19 17:15:39
CougarTim ◊ 2011-11-19 17:22	Okay, then that confirms the filmmakers put in some later footage and hoped no one would notice.
somename ◊ 2011-11-19 18:22	^Well, according to the stunt organizer's bio on IMDB this is actually Oct. 5, 1979.
CougarTim ◊ 2011-11-19 19:36	And Wikipedia confirms - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Carter_%28stuntman%29 Boy do I feel foolish.
