I'm getting a kick out of watching the 1960s and 70s Disney movies, and the cool cars in the scene backgrounds. Here's the nice 65s in the garage of The Ugly Dachshunds





I can't figure out the license plates though, they only appear legible in a couple scenes, and they are NOT the California plates you'd expect from a Disney motion picture. 
They appear to be flat, not pressed aluminum. with raised letters, and in one scene, they clearly have a smoked plexiglass cover, obscuring the small print on the top, above the numbers. 
The station wagon has a much more smoked cover than the Mustang, which never gets used in the movie
I also get a kick out of seeing celebs in movies early in their careers before they were well known. Mako is in this movie, as the catering assistant. You're probably more familiar with his role as the wizard in Conan, or the voice of Splinter in TMNT, or something else from the 163 other roles he had... he was in every tv series in the 70s and 80s. I kid you not. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0538683/?ref_=tt_cl_t_7
