Continuing with my DIM -- Detroit Iron in Moscow series which is a series of posts where I do a bit of car spotting and photograph "Detroit iron" in Moscow -- i.e. full-size American automobiles that I see on Moscow streets, lanes and especially in back yards whilst not specifically looking for them.
Spotted today is this Lincoln Town Car.
This one is first generation and towards the end of it. Not the first Lincoln Town Car on this series but the first one first gen.
To be fair, I spotted this one not on a street per se, not in traffic, not in a
Moscow high-rise back yard (where most of them seem to have congregated
so far) but on some kind of historic movie shoot, not far from the
Kremlin actually.
Though the Lincoln appears to be out of keeping with
the other cars on the shoot which are 1960-70s Volgas, Pobedas etc.
Maybe the movie guys are trying to pass it for a much earlier car but it
is clearly from the late 1980s.
Shot through the passenger front window.
What's the movie going to be about? We see the Lincoln cornered aggressively into a tight spot by a 1950s M-20 Pobeda and a 1970s GAZ 21 Volga. No escape.
