'72 Westy - but what is wrong with this pic?

Post by Pine »

I reckoned 'guess the movie' would be a bit unfair, so I will name the movie myself - this '72 Westy was spotted in 'The Day of the Jackal' (old 1973 movie, based on the book of Frederick Forsyth, it was on TV late last night). But: WHAT is wrong with this pic??

Excellent, Fig! Image
The Day of the Jackal is a 1973 film set in August 1963, based on a novel of the same name by Frederick Forsyth. Directed by Fred Zinnemann, it stars Edward Fox as the assassin known only as "the Jackal" who was hired to assassinate Charles de Gaulle.

One-way. The city bus next to the westy is travelling in the same direction.

I still think that traffic light/pole/robot in the middle of the street, behind the bus looks wrong.
