    That does look like an unrecognizable blur at first, but after noticing it and what it was, yes, it is! So, question is...why did they want a FSJ? Especially that you had to drive hours to/from? Couldn't they have gotten something else faster and closer? Not that I'm complaining...because I don't think there are enough FSJs out there, but just wondering why one was important here? And congrats, btw!

      I'm honestly not sure why they wanted a FSJ. To make matters even more strange, I'm in the UK.

      They found a location in the UK, made it look like the US, added American cars, and used it to shoot a commercial only for the US market. Makes no sense at all to me!

      They also used a Lincoln Continental Mark IV and a mid-'90s Town Car, although I don't think you really see the Town Car at all.

      All around a very strange setup!

          Perhaps! You've seen the commercial then I assume?

              We watched "Sweet Tooth" on Netflix last week. There's an early '80s Grand/Wagoneer that features pretty heavily in one episode.

                  I know the FSJ in Tremors is well-known, but I just came across this series of behind-the-scenes clips shot by the producer's father on VHS. I love Tremors and filmmaking so this is great stuff to me. There's a bunch but here's the first one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rI_R_Q56Fg
                  1979 Cherokee Chief S, 360, TFI, Part-time conversion, rust

                  If you go lookin' for rust, you'll find it.
