This catalogue entry records a 1972 Volkswagen Beetle in blue from the 1970s.
The 1972 Volkswagen Beetle in blue is filed under Classic, within the 1970s picture cars.
1970s on screen
A credible seventies street need not be filled with cars from the same year; an evidence-led mix of ages gives the background a less arranged feel. The clothes around a seventies vehicle can be understated and practical, with character references doing more useful work than a blanket assumption about the decade. Residential streets and commercial centres offer different seventies textures, so a travelling scene benefits from references for both ends of the journey rather than one generic backdrop.
Possible roles in a production
Continuity photographs are useful when a classic is seen across several angles, particularly where doors, luggage and performers change position between takes. For a scene involving loaded belongings, the exact items should be rehearsed with the vehicle rather than assumed to fit from a photograph. A departure can begin at the front door, with the walk to the car providing a useful stretch of action before anyone gets inside.
