He thinks he's being artistic, whereas the reality is he is being anything but. No description, either.
"Serious buyers will call me and discuss it\come see it in person" is often the response I get from people who think this is best course of action towards trying to sell a car...
Thing is, I always want prospective buyers to see a vehicle in person, but I also do my best to take decent descriptive photos, and more than two or three photos at that.
Nice remembering. I haven't seen this in a lot of years, but even then, I wouldn't have remembered a Tornado.
Imagine letting snow get on it. Sacrilege! Of course, this was back when a '69 Toronado was just another used car and not the cultural icon it is now.
From Wikipedia. Production notes[edit] Most of the filming was at Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport. A display in the terminal, with stills from the field and the film, says: "Minnesota's legendary winters attracted Hollywood here in 1969, when portions of the film Airport were shot in the terminal and on the field. The weather remained stubbornly clear, however, forcing the director to use plastic 'snow' to create the appropriate effect." The set built representing the interior of the 707 was left standing at Universal Studios and was eventually joined with the 747 interior set constructed for Airport 1975 on "Stage 747." Both sets were used extensively in other Universal films and television series. The 707 set was used, for instance, in The Andromeda Strain and on series like Ironside. The sets were removed around 2002 and the space converted into a workshop. Only one Boeing 707 was used: a model 707-349C (registration N324F[6]) leased from Flying Tiger Line. It sported an El Al cheatline over its bare metal finish, with the fictional Trans Global Airlines (TGA) titles and tail. This aircraft later crashed on March 21, 1989 during approach into São Paulo while in service as cargo flight Transbrasil Flight 801, killing all three crew members and 22 persons on the ground.[7]
Neat! Man it's been a long time since I seen one of the Airport movies. Surely, it's been a long time since I seen one of the Airplane! movies too. I do hope that ol Dino wasn't mixing cocktails up on the flight deck! A Toro like this seems like it'd appropriate transportation for a pilot back then.
A front-wheel drive Toronado would have been the most technologically advanced personal luxury car at the time. Appropriate for a pilot, as you say.
