Apparently I'm not as much of a car nut as I thought... I never noticed any car switching going on in the movies. Part of it might be that I never 'clicked' with the old American made cars... might be because I grew up outside of the US and always scoffed at the inefficiencies of the 'big' V8s ... twice the cylinders, twice the displacement, but half the horsepower?!? WDF?? Maybe not that severe, but it turned me off to them. And because of that I never noticed the subtle differences between years of the Mustang much less a car like the Plymouth Satellite.
