So how do we know this to be a 31? The dashboard. In the scene where the boy is sitting behind the drivers wheel waiting for his dad who is in the hotel bothering Mr. Rance, we are shown shots of the dashboard which is a 31. The 30 had a different dash. Here's two pics of the 31 dash as seen in the movie followed by a 30 dash... -- Last edit: 2010-02-12 05:33:56 (chicomarx)
