Furious George at Woodstock

[matthon]

So, hanging out with my friend this past Sunday, 4 years ago I bought George from him, our 64 Fury Wagon my kid named George.
Looking through his pictures, he tells me it was in a movie in 2008, Taking Woodstock.
Huh? Nothing major, not a star car or anything, but I'm curious.

Pics are from his albums, shows some of his cars lined up, all up top, front row on bottom, and mixed up in other pics. George in them all.

We just watched it, not a very good flick, but it sure was a good time looking for your car in a movie. In the background in a couple scenes, one up close, another it drives by in the background the entire length of the screen. Hilarious.

Can't miss the spotlight.

I worked on a Paramount picture, Paradise, and afterwards the red Ford pickup that Don drove went up for sale. We all had first dibs but I didn't have the scratch. Plus, it was a Ford...so...

Wagon O' Steel has a walk on part.
Ok. A roll on part.
IDK.
IMdb give it 3 and a half stars.
And most movies "based on true stories" are good in my experience.
Trailer seems to have facts in it about the event.

George was in traffic at one point, but we saw him.
His 62 Plymouth more door, and a pic of the 62 Dart he tried to buy while there.

Got me thinking, I wonder if George was actually there in '69?
It's possible, 3 registration stickers on the windshield are from VT, MA, and NY.

I went and got the ppwk from the prior owner, here's the sheet that was kept in the car, I redacted his info.
Too bad it was one of the worst movies ever made.
