What's the blue car with the crashed back behind the fence? It's nothing American. I have only a few doubts, but I would say, it's an Audi 60, resp. Super 90! The position of the back window and the shape of wheel arch and back door are typical. |

No other view in the movie... maybe this pic taken from my version will help? http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/9966/000201kb8.jpg -- Last edit: 2009-01-04 18:16:15 |

Thanks, but the pic of the Land Cruiser is a bit better. I'm getting more and more sure, that it's an Audi Super 90. I cannot remember any other four-door-car in this shape (Ford Cortina or so). |

Great find (as always) Ingo! It's difficult to say for the crashed back, but I'm thinking that you're right ![]() Yes, it can be an Audi Super 90 http://www.audistory.24max.de/old1/picold/super90_2.jpg . If so, it would be hyper rare one, as you've said, and should be listed as well ![]() P.S. Ingo, you were waiting my answer, weren't you? ![]() |

Looks to small for Audi60/ Super 90? |
◊ 2009-01-05 19:38 |
@tali: perhaps because it's among US-cars. ![]() No, if you put the shape of the chassis in comparison with the doors and the wheel-arch, it's for very sure an Audi [F103}, because it's in the USA surely a Super 90. P.S. And the position of the back window is very F103-like. -- Last edit: 2009-01-05 19:39:21 |

I'm with tali on this - despite the damage the wing length looks intact. |

I think it is a (US-version of) Fiat 128... |
◊ 2011-04-15 11:32 |
As it didn't seem so sure it was, I didn't list it, but we can list it. I'll add a page for the Toyota and keep this one for the "probably Audi" so we keep comments here. |

But isn't it simply /vehicle_5818-Ford-Consul-Cortina-1963.html ? ![]() |
◊ 2011-04-15 12:27 |
I don't think it's the Cortina - this looks 4 door if it's facing left with a rear quarterlight and the wheels would not have black centres. For me the Fiat 128 idea is the best yet - would give the short boot and the slanted rear. |
◊ 2011-04-15 13:26 |
128 launched early 1969. No idea of US introduction date. |
◊ 2011-04-15 17:27 |
Other USA models are listed as 1971. |
◊ 2011-04-15 21:38 |
It is an Audi Super 90 fore sure ![]() No Cortina and no Fiat 128, definetely. |
◊ 2011-04-15 21:53 |
I'd really like it to be an Audi... But I'm afraid it isn't. Though the colour would fit... |
◊ 2012-12-13 18:29 |
ABSOLUTELY NOT A FIAT 128 !!! Windows dimensions don't fit, neither the wheels arches. I agree with an Audi (F103) or a Japanese (Datsun). |
◊ 2012-12-13 18:33 |
OK - 2 questions I can't decide: - which way is it facing? (so is the crushed bit the front or back?) - is it a 2 or 4 door? |
◊ 2012-12-13 19:15 |
Looks like a DAF 46 or 66... |

![]() Aren't the seats right of the door pillar? In that case it's the front we see, not the rear. |
◊ 2012-12-13 20:34 |
Were DAFs sold in the US? Not a bad idea if they were, it's too small to be an Audi, IMO. |
◊ 2012-12-13 21:11 |
I think it's pointing left, so it's the boot that's bashed (also the bash looks into an empty space, not a solid engine); it may be a 4 door as seems like front and rear quarterlights, but confused by fence between - the far side left quarterlight (front for me) is the clearest with possibly a near side one on right. I also don't think we can see door handles - there is a flash, but it's a glint of some sort. High back seats so 68 or later. Middle pillar is confusing - it seems to slant left but am not sure how real that is. |

The 44 and 46 were imported and rebuilt to electric powered vehicles by a company called CHW: Link to "dafclubamerica.proboards.com" Link to "dafclubamerica.proboards.com" But the company started using DAF in 1975 so I'd guess it isn't one after all... http://www.daf.dse.nl/usa-Waterman%20Electric%20Dafs.htm |

Audi [F103]. Definitely. No doubt about it. Every detail fits. |

Thanks for the correct listing. It took years... ![]() |

1971 |

I supposed only 2 door sedan and 3 door wagon were the Audi Super 90 imported in the USA. This is a 4 door sedan. Maybe bought in Germany by a US officer and taken to the US. I watched yeasterday another movie set in San Francisco in which a Ford Taunus 20M coupé (P5) is clearly visible with its American plate.. Same situation in my opinion since both were never sold in USA. -- Last edit: 2020-04-22 08:54:02 |

Audi 90 in US info from Import Catalog. 1970 was 1st year of official Audis in US, launched with both Super 90 and 100 LS: - 1970 Super 90 available as 2-dr, 4-dr and Station Wagon - 1134 sold in US in year - 1971 Super 90 available as 2-dr, 4-dr and Station Wagon - 2425 sold in US in year - 1972 Super 90 available as 2-dr, 4-dr and Station Wagon - 1921 sold in US in year (with supplementary comment that only 721 were reported as built in Germany that year). Not listed for 73+. Also 128 info agrees with e225 - launched in US "late in 1971 model year" - 2-dr, 4-dr and Station Wagon. Was it this one (set in SF)?? Or have you found a friend for it?? |
