Great.  You didn't warn us it was the whole movie.  Now I'm stuck here for the next hour and a half.  And thanks for reminding me how much I want a 70 Coronet cop car.   But now I know in order to be period correct I need an array of different colored shades displayed on the dash.
Yes I own a 1972 Dodge Challenger Convertible T/A S/E with a 440 Six Pak. Can it get any more wrong?
