Citation This one is a 1980: http://www.thisoldrv.com/Portals/6/Gallery/Album/15/2007-10-29-78633.jpg I don't think the one in the movie is the exact same year, but the hooded headlights, black windshield surround, bumper, and other details match. |

This could also be a Corsair, Centurion and Citation they where almost identical from 1973 to 1980. -- Last edit: 2012-02-26 05:58:20 |

Actually, chrome83, there were some differences between the Citation, the Centurion, and the Corsair. For example, the Citation had a farther set back door than the Centurion, the Citation also had a different side-stripes than the Centurion, while the Corsair had the same door arrangement as the Citation while it had the same side-stripes as the Centurion. I suspect the one in the movie is a Citation as they were always the most common, but just to see which one it is for sure, I'l have to watch the movie and get a side view sometime soon. |

Also, the one in the movie is a 1975-1979, they were almost the same from 1973-1974, but from 1975-1980 they had single headlights instead of doubled headlights like the 1973-1974 had. But the one in the movie is specifically 1975-1979, not 1980, due to the grill. |

Okay I just saw the movie (pretty good, actually) and the side of the camper was visible in a few seens, and indeed the door arrangement, windows, and side-stripes were that of a Citation. So it is a 1975 Bendix Citation with GMC chassis (I now know that it has GMC chassis, because I noticed a GMC logo on it). |

Tom11, I agree, it's a 1975 Bendix Citation. It can't be model year 1973-1974, they had double headlight Bezels. 1973-1977 had silver coloured window frames and windshield frame, 1978-1980 window frames were painted black so definatly not 1978-1980. Also the Bendix Aristocrat was very similar to the Citation, Corsair and Centurion. Aristocrat also had a different side stripe. http://www.flickr.com/photos/42367716@N07/5221499069/in/photostream http://www.flickr.com/photos/42367716@N07/5670504885/in/photostream http://www.flickr.com/photos/42367716@N07/6930404729/in/photostream http://www.flickr.com/photos/42367716@N07/6101195947/in/photostream -- Last edit: 2012-02-26 07:36:57 |
