1970 Oldsmobile Tornonado based "Airporter limo" (and I agree they're very strange looking..) As the Toronado was FWD it's rear chassis could be extended and modified easily : http://auta5p.car.cz/zhistorie/oldsmobile_toronado/toronado_06.jpg (pic just to verify it's a 1970 model) -- Last edit: 2006-10-21 00:46:45 |

Wow!  This is one of the very few Jetaway 707 airport limousines that were built by American Quality Coach. Seems to be the 1st on the site in original shape, as we just have this one: /vehicle.php?id=23238AQC was formed by Waldo J. Cotner and Robert Bevington shortly after they had sold their original company Cotner/ Bevington to DIVCO-Wayne. The Jetaway 707 was their only model to be released before they ran out of money and had to close down in 1970. |

According to Sotheby's Auction Catalogue for a sale at the RAF Museum, Hendon, London on 6th March 1995, the Jetway 707 sold on that day was the vehicle seen in this movie, and it was a 1968 model, indeed the first ever made by the American Quality Coach company. Here is the Sotheby's vehicle in Scotland in about 1985 or 1986: https://www.flickr.com/photos/99487145@N02/15734911956 and here is the same vehicle today: http://www.stationwagonforums.com/forums/gallery/showimage.php?i=3397&c=46 Cheers -- Last edit: 2018-04-04 14:28:44 |

I've checked the film. The example in it has five windows that run the whole length of the roof on each side, not three. Therefore Sotheby's claim that the vehicle they sold had been in the film is either incorrect,or they were just referring to the type of vehicle, and not the actual car they were selling. The only other thing would be that the windows had been removed, but since I've seen other 3-windowed examples of this car, that seems rather unlikely, if not strictly impossible. Oh well, negative news is still news. Cheers |
