[QUOTE="Lastkidpicked, post: 197782, member: 237"] What made the time period of early [I]Dallas[/I] so great? Let's look at the pictures that [USER=138]@johnmmil10[/USER] posted: [IMG]http://www.soapchat.net/attachments/16fac779-14a3-46b9-9886-c321631466b7-jpeg.19461/[/IMG] This Lincoln is all about American Luxury. Now, I realize that this is a limousine, but even pretending that this was a regular length Lincoln like Jock's it mades a bold statement. Notice the long hood, enclosing the V8 power. And the concealed headlights hinting at the technology found within the car. And the bold, large grill just demanding that the wind move out of the way. And there are more subtle touches as well. The opera light turn signals just quietly wait for you to notice them, like a subtle perfume on a pretty woman. American pride in automotive form for sure. Now, let's look at how things evolved: [IMG]http://www.soapchat.net/attachments/1c31948f-2ac4-45e7-a55c-eb4549b138ff-jpeg.19460/[/IMG] These cars just do not have the presence of the Lincoln. There is no bold statement being made. Let's even look at the truck in the background. It's a nice enough truck, and I'm sure it's very comfortable and gets good mileage. But it's not the truck that you look at across the parking lot and fill up with pride thinking, "That's MY truck!" Compare it to Ray's truck: [IMG]https://www.imcdb.org/i242723.jpg[/IMG] Again, this truck makes a statement. Bold, upright grill. Fender flares, upright windshield. If Jock needed a truck to go pick up some hay, you can easily imagine him stepping out of this truck. Oh, yes! The vehicles back then made a statement about their owners. I really enjoy when [USER=138]@johnmmil10[/USER] , [USER=3950]@Bill Dilks[/USER] , [USER=250]@garry[/USER] and others take the time to research the filming locations because it is fun to watch the cars at the shooting location back at that time versus the vehicles at the shooting locations now. So thank you all very much! [/QUOTE]
