    Bunch of 70's cars in the movie but you got to be looking for them. Here's a late model Maverick with the emblem on the roof. I thought I saw a Pinto also.

    With an emblem on the pillar....it has to be 1973 or newer. What year is the movie supposed to be set in?

    I'm gonna say late-mid 70's. The hippie guy had a CB radio in his car and the girl he liked was into Disco music.

    Disco really hit in about 1977....so late 70's would be pretty darn accurate.

    Could be a pretty sober game if there are only 4 in the movie. :D

    In the beginning, when they are in the main kids room, there is a picture of one, looks like the one out of Car Craft a few years ago...I just watched the movie.
