A well aged '64 GTO with radial BFGs in 11/63? Bunk!

There is also what looks like a satellite dish on the roof of that store. Upper left of the picture.

I think also:

Modern style trash can in front of left building.
Modern style rain gutter down spout on right building.
An probably the parking sing in front of left building.

Guess they couldn't afford the digital erasing procedure.

If you look hard enough that satellite dish looks like a man holding a gun.

I noticed lots of other stuff like that. The Steering wheel in the FBI agents '60 Ford looked 50 years old as well as the whole interior (pitted chrome and afterthought seat covers). Also saw a cable connection box on a building etc. etc.

I guess it's getting a lot harder to re-create the era for television.

Heck, even with radial tires on a 64 GTO, and all the other flaws, the movie is probably 99% more accurate than any Oliver Stone movie.

Hollywood types almost always get stuff like this wrong. While they mean well, their attention to detail sometimes has to take a back seat to what is available on the day of the shoot, so movies that are period pieces are always loaded with little errors like these.

There was a scene in the period movie "Dazed And Confused", which was supposed to take place in 1976, where in the background there's a red 73 Trans Am wearing 1982-up Z/28 rims.

When they filmed "Leatherheads" here they had all kinds of problems since it was set in the mid '20's
Casting calls went out locally for cars, a lot of repaints were done and late 20's to early 30's were made to look older, but the roads, store fronts, powerlines, redlights and backgrounds gave them fits around here.
They took an entire downtown street and filled it with dirt, I can't imagine all the little details that are required to make a period movie.

Man roughest summer construction job I had in Dallas in college was across the street from the book depository 4 storied below ground level jack hammering(using the 100lber not the 75 lner) the Dallas shale out for the basement drain pipes of a giant community college/office building. 2 weeks or 100 degree weather and no breeze being 4 floors down jack hammer and shoveling gravel over the soil pipe. Back before OSHA safety glassed and had a piece of rock skip of my eye. But hey it was a union site and a "lbaorer's assistant" got bumped from my normal $3.50 and hour to $5!

I was in 4th grade the day of the assasination and they announced it over the school PA system.

That GTO is best character in whole movie. Wait, wait was it parked on the grassy knoll?

I believe a second one was on the grassy knoll.

at the end of that Krukshank Redemption movie.

hey HO428 , we have a town north of OKC, Guthrie that is used all the time for 1910-1940 movies, they keep downtown madeup permantly and just need to pour dirt on the street and presto in 6 hours your are in 1910.
