Isn't this the fire truck? |

Even though imdb says this was filmed in London, this looks like an American fire truck. |

Is this our first example of Cliche Non-Bingo? |

To me this looks like a UK location dressed to look American with a fake mailbox. I don't think it's London, though, because unpainted stone facades aren't usual here. @dsl: Could it be Glasgow? -- Last edit: 2013-04-12 22:46:10 |

It could be. My bolt-from-the-blue reaction to the idea for building and railings is St Vincent Place, junction area of St Vincent St and Buchanan St - http://media.propertydna.com/properties/567/p16fss9bfn1m171ufc4h315t1jki4.jpg , http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1388/1345385935_8e9f3d73fa.jpg , Link to "maps.google.co.uk" but that is a very very long shot. |

The scenes with the Buick and the Pontiac might ring a bell too. /vehicle_587572-Buick-1941.html /vehicle_587454-Pontiac-1949.html |

Yes - I looked at those and they're sort-of compatible in a general fashion, but not really specific enough to add or detract. I might be right, but would only bet a very small jar of Marmite on it. |

The windows of the (mockup)building are looking American, too. |

It's a Mack from the 1940s-50s. The ladder trailer looks to be much older, probably from the 1920s. Edit: Looks like they made this model longer than I thought, here's a 1966 model with a newer ladder trailer (opposite of what's here) -- Last edit: 2013-04-13 09:49:49 |
