True.

It would be a truly realistic street scene in North Dakota (filmed in Alberta) with cars that are not Barrett-Jackson types.

With it's close proximity to Manitoba, I wonder how many Canuck Pontiacs made their way down to Fargo in the day?

Hey Bob,they seem to want "regular" everyday cars from that period 1962-1979.

"We're looking for non-iconic, non-muscle kind of cars, said vehicle coordinator Glenn Hughes"

Send a picture of the car you have in mind to use  to Glenn Hughes at  fargopicturecars@gmail.com

Hope mine isn't too "classic" or "iconic" .....haven't heard back yet. -Geo

Not to worry, I don't think anybody except guys like us would even notice the difference.

Both the movie and the series share the concept of how ordinary northern people deal with evil in their midst.

The original movie by the Coen Brothers really delights in the sound of the language of Minnesota and in showing off the kind of culture that results from that land, the climate and the people.  They make it look and sound a bit like poetry  and make me as a northern guy quite conscious that what we see and hear around us everyday is kind of unique. Throw into that mix some bad guys and what you get is kind of a Garrison Keillior (Prairie Home Companion) type of crime story.

What the series has done is to take that, add some elements from almost all of the Coen Brothers movies (most notably No Country For Old Men), and then play the story out for ten one hour shows.  Really good stuff especally the acting by Alison Tolman and Colin Hanks as  decent regular very ordinary cops, Martin Freeman (Bilbo Baggins from the Hobbit) as the weak bad guy and Billy Bob Thornton as the really bad bad guy. The series wound up the story line at the end so the second series is going to be a sort of prequel that is set in 1979.

They chose to shoot in Alberta (Drumheller and Calgary area) so that they could be pretty much assured that the winter scenes would look cold and last year they definitely got their wish.

This Year with the warm weather they may not get the look they want as easily but I think they'll love the exchange rate! 

I hope all guys who submitted their stuff get to go. It will be fun.  I got to be in a low budget  NFB movie with my 1939 Buick back in 1988 and it was a blast.  I got to sit around in the bar in Mundare all day and drink beer and then do my shot right at sunset. I guess thats why I ran the stop sign in the shot I suppose. After all that they gave me a cheque for about $300.00. (and of course there is the fame....)
