Last Call: GTO Time Machine Edition


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. Director Frank Darabont initially arranged for Tim Robbins to drive a Mustang, but shooting logistics forced an eleventh-hour substitution. 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.

    Andy better have put the top up on that Goat if he’s still in Zihuatanejo. It’s at about the southern reach of the risk zone.

    Even knowing what Pete sounds like, I’m hearing that in Morgan Freeman’s voice.

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