My Volvo 343 DL & Richard Gere

[Motown CVT]

Hello All,

A few weeks ago, my Volvo 343 DL - along with my 20-year old daughter & me - were extras in a movie shoot in downtown Detroit. The film "The Double" is a spy movie, with the opening shot set in Paris, France in 1988. A Parisian street scene was created in downtown Detroit, and Richard Gere is the star.

My Volvo was included, along with a Fiat 124 convertible, a Volvo 1800ES, several Citroens, a Renault 18i Wagon and a Saab 900s hatchback.

Sally is an editorial intern this summer with an alternative newspaper, The Metro Times. Her blog about the the car and her movie experience is attached.

Enjoy!

PS...Still wondering about the correct flasher unit for my 343 DL. I remain without directional signals.

I'm looking forward to an update in the "Internet Movie Car Database"

What's the problem with the directional signals?

He needs a flasher unit I think.

(Which reminds me I ought to have a look at the Citroen's tomorrow morning as it's gone south too.)

It'll be a standard part but without checking the green books I'm not sure which one. I *think* I have a Mk1 wiring book here, I'll have a look when it's not late-o'clock

When I next have my 1980 car at the house, I'll check out the flasher relay and compare it to a later one. If they're the same, that should make your hunt a lot easier.

cheers
