Can anyone please help me?

it is really not a good eye, it is more knowing the cars.the 64 and 65 were basically the same car, with subtle differences like body side trim and grill differences. i have owned 3 64 falcons, and 4 65's. i currently have a 65 2 dr hardtop, and have 2 64, and 6 65 grills in the garage

Good call Tom, I forgot about the '65s having the emblem in the center of the grille. They sure are close aren't they, fooled me at first glance. My '66 is a plane jane base model too!

What year and model was Oddjob's Ranchero in the movie Goldfinger? Would the Lincoln have exceeded its payload? Seeing this thread this is just one of those things I've always wondered about.

The Ranchero was a 1964 with side mouldings.
Did'ja notice when they crushed that Lincoln, that the engine/trans had been removed?
When cars are crushed, the engine/trans/gas tank/front & rear suspension and related parts are YANKED out with a crane beforehand.
When the Lincoln was turned sideways in the crusher, you can see the empty space where the engine/trans were.
How much did that block of metal loaded in the Ranchero really weigh? That Ranchero didn't seem to sag in the azz end a bit.
Was that block of metal really that Lincoln, or something else?
After all...this is Hollywood, or as we say out here in LA LA Land = Hollywierd!
All things considered, it could have been the remains of a VW Beetle, Nash Rambler, Studebaker Lark, or a Toyota Toyopet...a horrid POS of a car first brought to our shores in 1957.
