This catalogue entry records a 1979 Buick Regal Lowrider in silver and red from the 1970s.

The 1979 Buick Regal Lowrider in silver and red is filed under Classic and American, 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. Domestic props give a seventies car a reason to be outside a house, whether the action is a return with shopping or the start of a journey. Plate references should be tied to the year of a seventies scene, avoiding a broad retro choice that looks plausible but does not fit the intended date.

Possible roles in a production

Costume references should belong to the character and date, avoiding a broad assumption that an American vehicle calls for the same clothes in every scene. A roadside arrival can be staged through passengers and luggage, leaving the broader location to explain whether the journey belongs in Britain or elsewhere. An American-labelled vehicle can support a US-set street, but the location, signage and surrounding traffic still need references appropriate to the place being portrayed.
