How come no one ever told me about the show Twin Peaks?




Chris Craft barrel boat, Pullman passenger car, 1979 Trans Am, 60s gas station, fake wood panel 60 Ford station wagon and bordello girls dressed like the queen of hearts. And the actresses playing the high school girls have 80s hair. Big 80s hair in some cases.

Oh, and greased cotton ball drape runners, lol.. that character is seriously cracked

Seriously, have some heart and tell me about things like this!

  1. useless quibble department: it's not a "late 60's" station wagon, but a 1960 Ford Country Squire.

    1. Pardon, quite right. Those tiny tailfins folded over are easy and simply signs of the 1960 or 61 model year designs... but keep in mind, I do not have every year make and model of every major car maker memorized and instantly identified. I do OK, but I can only tell from this image that it's a Ford or Mercury, early 60s, that's the limit of what I can do without hitting the books or internet to get researching into specifics

  2. Wow...a 1960 Ford Country Squire. The rear window from one of those things was used for the windshield of the Deora. Definitely has sweep.

  3. I had forgotten how far out those things were. I'm reminded of the movie "Gattaca" in which, to represent the cars of an indefinite future, they chose the venerable Rover 2000 and the Citroen DS. They could have thrown in a couple of these as well.

    1. I'm sorry, how far out what things were, the station wagon? You lost me, or did you mean the Deora?

  4. I assume youre talking about the original and not the reboot?

    I liked the origional because it cast the characters as believable real people, truck drivers and waitresses etc, not millionaire oil barrons etc.

    2. Good point, tv shows forget to have characters live realistically, the characters too often have enormous apartments so the camera crew can have room to work around, or live in mansions - which the hotel does a good substitute as. But the diner is spot on.
