So last night was movie night and the wife said that she thought our kids would love to watch the first SuperMan movie and so we did. Now it has been a long time since I saw the first one and to be honest it was not quite how I remembered but any way....we are less than 15 minutes in the movie and I couldn't believe my eyes. I had to back up the movie and watch it again....and again...and again. The wife said "what are you looking at" I said...."do you see the wheels on that truck"? Neither the wife or my two kids were as excited as I was....maybe I am the only one that will think it is cool but I just had to point it out. Anybody else ever noticed this? I think the truck is a 38 Chevrolet.... I wonder where that truck ended up? Prolly in some movie prop warehouse...
sharp eyes you have. i'd never have noticed that.... i do nit-pick movies for having the wrong year cars in it, or at least i USED to, until it occured to me that they just don't give a*****. and don't get me started on WAR movies. i used to love seeing the Nashes in the TV series.... seemed like Nash was the only car sold in Metropolis!
I have been to Metropolis several times, and never seen a Nash there. There must have been a Nash dealer next to the studio back in the day.
I do the same thing when I see old cars in a movie. (Usually accompanied by a backhand slap from the wife). Here's the truck. '39 or '40 GMC. ..
39-40 GMC....I was close....I stopped paying attention to the truck when I saw the wheels....Thanks for the clearer picture....
