tore-40 ◊ 2013-02-27 08:20	Similar, but certainly not the same. The one on IMCDB is a 1973 only, as listed. -- Last edit: 2013-02-28 15:14:41 (Neon)
karoomay ◊ 2013-02-27 08:56	Then I suppose they used a double for the airport scene here since it was filmed in California.
tore-40 ◊ 2013-02-27 11:43	That one is 1975-79, so suppose 1978 is correct for that one. Does it qualify for listing? -- Last edit: 2013-02-28 15:15:11 (Neon)
rjluna2 ◊ 2013-02-27 13:46	I would agree with karoomay being a USA spec due to the sidemarkers. Headlights can be easily replaced with non-sealed beam.
Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2013-02-27 14:02	The Picture Car Warehouse one has different windscreen wipers. The bare patch on the blue door and the scratches on the bumper don't march either. Could the Istanbul one be a European model customised with sidemarkers and repainted to match the US van (the airport scenes were filmed first)? -- Last edit: 2013-02-27 14:03:11
