Nice catch...I to thought it looked recently and not 60/70's |
Looks OG dank to me. What parts look too new? |
I zoomed in on the passers by at far right. They look to be wearing modern clothing.
The Chimnea in the left foreground doesn't look period to me either.. I know the basic design of Chimneas is old, but that one looks like the type of thing you'd buy from a garden centre. They became fashionable over here in the last 10-15 years.
I don't use instragram, but I believe that it has filters to make digital photos look like they were taken with a crappy camera back in the day. The image has that feel to me. |
I think the biggest tell is the COVID masks for sale hanging above their heads.

In my split decision to save the photo, I was looking at the background at the left, which looks like a period hippy bus. If the photo had been cropped just a little wider, we could see if the cat at the right was sending a text message.

Did they make that style of WalMart chiminea in back in the day? |

The answer is no. This is from year 2009, the making of Taking Woodstock.

I wasn't criticising. It was a genuine question.

And I genuinely didn't regard it as such! 
Thanks to Mr. Polak for the final clarification.
It ain't authentic!

It was a good learning experience that got a lot of people involved. That's not a bad thing.  |

hmm, what are the chances of 2 german cars built in 1960 would be parked on the beach together 24 years later?

Where would one obtain a white canvas cargo cover for a DC in 1984?
