Jerry Seinfield's Movie - Unfrosted
« on: May 09, 2024, 00:36:34 »
In watching Unfrosted, within the first 20 Min, a 113 passes in front of the Kellogg's headquarters .
Only a 113 nerd would notice something like this.

Yes as I mentioned in the post just prior.

The astute will note the timeframe of the movie was July 1963. As the Pagoda was just introduced at the March 1963 Geneva Switzerland Auto Show, how possible was it that one was driving in Battle Creek a few months later?? Hmmm…

It was the best 2 seconds in the movie, the remaining 90+ minutes were pretty lame IMO. Not sure if someone has mentioned the black Pagoda used as hard starting get away car in "The Gentleman" on Netflix. Can't remember for sure, but might have been in the 3rd episode. "Two for the Road" is still my all time favorite Pagoda movie:)

Looks like there is also a silver W108 in the background.

It is a 108. Both cars are much later than 1963.

Missed it as I didn't get 20 minutes into the movie before I turned it off.  I did see the one in The Gentleman.  Good exposure in that episode and a great series.
