1980s on screen
A business park offers different background traffic from a residential close, so the location references should guide the mix of cars before the lineup is chosen. Retail exteriors contain many date clues beyond traffic, so an eighties shot should be reviewed for signage as well as the cars closest to the lens. The exact point within the eighties matters when combining vehicles with wardrobe, and reference images can help keep the different departments working to the same date.
Possible roles in a production
Close views can reveal small details such as badges and plate styling, so the art department should know which parts will be held in frame. Where a classic appears in a contemporary story, its place can be explained through everyday use instead of an invented account of collecting or ownership. The pace of a period entrance can come from the exchange between passengers, rather than treating the older vehicle as a reason for exaggerated movement.
