When Andy Dufresne is seen driving to Mexico at the end of The Shawshank Redemption, a Pontiac GTO convertible perfectly symbolizes his newfound freedom and prosperity.

Darabont was aware that the ’69 GTO was two years too new for the intended time period, but it was the only suitable alternative available.

Morgan Freeman, Morgan Freeman.

I love that movie, but never noticed the timeline conflict with the GTO. Cool.
