karoomay ◊ 2013-02-27 09:01	But this scene was filmed in Turkey so it is not necessarily USA spec unless someone can pinpoint some details to prove so.

karoomay ◊ 2013-02-27 09:06	Or real cars from another location that were digitally inserted into this scene.
tore-40 ◊ 2013-02-27 11:40	I think this one has the upright headlights of 1967 US-spec but still the old bumpers, i.e. 1967 only. But second opinions are welcome.
Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2013-02-27 11:51	The production notes say the embassy scenes were filmed in Los Angeles and the crowd of demonstrators on a football field in Istanbul, so this could be a digital composite of three different locations (LA, Istanbul crowds, Istanbul apartments). -- Last edit: 2013-02-27 11:51:19
