qwerty_86 ◊ 2006-06-28 06:29	I'm thinking a Pontiac or Cadillac.

ironsmith ◊ 2009-06-07 19:29	finally someone (trucker) who knows what the different IC trucks are. year is wrong but is is a paystar tractor (look at the grill) in the mid 70's vintage likely a '79 or '80 and would be current for the movie. However the trailer is of interest as trailers rarely had exposed studding past the 40's unless it was a livestock hauler but this also has a offside loading door(on the traffic side). strange. I like the dodge monaco intercepter - I had one just like it years ago that I got from the Ontario Provincial Police -- Last edit: 2009-06-07 20:12:06
