DUEL

Rainy Day Auto said

There are some scenes it's a 72 with 71 wheel covers and some scenes it's a 72 with 72+ wheel covers.

I believe all the interior shots are of the 72. (later gauge bezel and electric window washer switch)

Majority of the movie shows a 71 on the outside.

I wonder how many of these cars got trashed making the movie.

I seem to recall originally seeing the movie on tv in either late '71 or early '72. Not sure I would have picked up on the hubcap differences.

About 10 years ago a co-worker let me borrow the DVD. It had a bonus track with Steven Speilberg discussing the making of the movie. I can't imagine they went thru too many cars given the budget limitations...I remember him saying they only had one truck so they had to get the going-over-the-cliff scene right the first time.

At least they were trashing then-new cars as opposed to vintage ones like in Christine. I read somewhere they went thru 7 Belvederes to make that one.
