Thread: Once upon a time in Hollywood

  1. #11
    I just saw the film yesterday and have to say as a fan of Q and the specific 1969 details of the movie (i.e. date, time of day etc.. that is constantly reinforced) it seemed odd they would have a black bumperette 73.5 with S front air dam. Yes this is a miss on the continunity side of any film, as it was with Shawshank Redemption and the 69 GTO in the last scene moving down the road in "1965". Perhaps it's a 4 year off year of car trend thing....

    The general audience for this film will not know/care what year "Porsh" cars are used. The differences between a 69 or a 73 will worry just a few of even the members here.
    After all, tough to focus details of the car when Margot is in the frame.
    Haven't seen it yet, but hope to soon.

    This board is starting to sound like the Pelican Parts experts. Tarantino wanted these cars. Except for the Tangerine Targa shown in the valet stand at Musso & Franks, the cars were silver, irish green, and Albert blue. The 2 coupes and the Targa ( yes , there was a Targa that the Steve McQueen character) were all wrapped. So, other than the door handles what feature would raise a flag, experts ?

    In this image conscience, valadation-seeking culture what a FANTASTIC way to build value into an asset.
    Well Frank, that does not surprise me. I have two classic cars, a 1969 Datsun that I have owned for over 40 years, and have put hundreds of hours ( if not thousands ) of work into, and a 1969 911s that hasn't run in over 25 years. I plan on putting many hours into the 911 as well. After putting all that sweat and care into my cars I'm not about to let some uncaring stooge damage them. Now if some young classic car enthusiast wants to drive one and they are able to drive a standard, well then I'd be happy to help lure them into the hobby. Not everyone sees their car as an asset, and I would not pay one cent more for a movie car.

    1969 Datsun 2000...worth less, but more valuable

    Really?
    If it’s not an asset then it’s a liability. Why would you be so protective of a liability?

    Your attitude toward your cars prove they are absolutely assets in your eyes.


    BTW: I wouldn’t pay a premium either for a “celebrity” car but the market has proven that there are plenty of buyers out there who value the emperor’s new clothes.

    Wait a minute. You guys are discussing different years of longhoods as if these differences matter to anyone other than the few members of this registry! Come on!

    The bar for period-correctness certainly is not the same, even for Tarantino, as it is here on the registry. I don't mind our experts noting the differences (I actually like it), but to denigrate the filmmakers over it is really silly.

    Also interesting to note that "Porsche" was consulted on for the film, thought they would have got that part right....
    I laughed reading this. As we all know there are very, very few people in Porsche (AG or USA) that know what an early 70's 911 looks like or should appear as. We are talking vehicles that are forty plus years old. Porsche is comprised of mostly millennial staff members.

    We do know ??

    I know a half-dozen employees at PCNA in Atlanta who have owned/built/rebuilt many early 911's....Jack Swint and Zak Funderberg to name a couple
    Can you name some of these P employees who don't know what an early 911 looks like ??
