Re: IML: 1960 Imperial coupe in movie Blade Runner

[Chris Hawkins <imperial1966@xxxxxxxxx>]

I attended an event where the production designer from
Blade Runner was speaking.  During the Q & A
afterwards, a friend asked about the '60 Imperial used
in one scene.  He laughed and said that while blocking
the action they realized they had a big hole that
needed to be filled.  A 60 Imperial?  Perfect!!
