    It suddenly occurs to me that (as someone too young to have seen the movie until years after it came out) I know her truck looked old, but I'm not sure how much older it was supposed to be compared to the present-day setting.

    Edit: I'm finding conflicting info, but it was about 10 years old (a mid-'70s model in 1986). Man, cars wore out a lot faster back then...

  • Yeah I can't comment of the quality of vehicles back in the day, but that truck was pretty beat up, paint was faded and mildly rusty. I wonder if her working at the Cetacean Institute exposed her vehicle to salt water more than the average car in the Bay area?
