How do yyou know this...it's not come out yet...there's no squareback in the trailer...tell us your secrets.
Please don't let it be yet another that gets blown up!

I just hope it does not explode...the trailer had LOADS of exploding cars...grrr.
Of course, I suppose that's par-for-the-course in a movie with Russel Crowe. That and instigating drunken brawls with people he's never talked to. Of wait, that's him in real life.
Would love to see a screenshot, then we can all go round and round about just what year it might be and if it is apropriate for the film: correct colour, trim, etc.
FUN!

Same thing happened in another movie I saw recently. I was watching and saw a ton of super beetles and late baywindows. Thought this doesn't look right. Researched the time of the movie and it was set in the mid-60's. Hmm

Above the bumper, on the apron there...my '71 does not have that ridge upon which Rus' license plate there appears to be sitting.
Is that then a '70, or am I on hallucinogenic drugs again?

That's a 70, my fasty has the ridge, and those fat ass turn signals, later models didn't have those.
(I think)

yes, the later (71 to 73) had the large front turn signals and the ridge above the bumper...

I guess the ridge over the bumper is just something I don't notice.
