Mopars in Fargo TV Series

[1978 NYB]

I was watching Fargo on the FX Channel last night and couldn't believe the many Mopar Fusie's and Formal's that are in this TV show. A beautiful Gold Imp Coupe, Plymouth police cars, looked like a Slab Blue Fury or a Coronet. It was episode #3 of Season 2. A lot of other classic cars in the show too.

So guess where they are shootng season 2? Right here in Calgary. Had a couple of prop guys call us for 70 era cars. Offered my 78 Cordoba but they didn't like the $40000 restoration fee i wanted. (Its that rough lol) We supply trucks for a couple of TV series shot out here like Heartland. Hell on Wheels not so much...

I love the movie, the series last year was a take off of it and I liked that as well. The series this season is its own storyline, set in 1979. Good so far, some big name actors in it.

Didn't a member here have a car the series was borrowing?

Heck yeah! Both seasons are great. I believe you can see both seasons on Netflix and/or DirecTV. The episode that I noticed all the Mopars was Season 2 Episode 3. Like mentioned....a lot of big names in both seasons. Billy Bob Thornton was the main villain in season 1. It's a continuing storyline from the original movie Fargo which I recommend watching too!

The Gremlin X has a manual transmission and sounds pretty healthy when he takes off when the cops let him go.

My wife and I hated the movie. That was one of the worst movies we ever saw and still mock it to this day.

I saw the movie and only vaguely remember it but I don't think I hated it.

I thought the movie was excellent! Especially the wood chipper scene! LOL!

The movie is just plain awful. I've watched one episode of the series, and it appears to be pretty good, so far.

I had come back to Minnesota from Pennsylvania, Philly, the year before, and I never noticed the accent in Mn before I left. The movie nailed it, IMO. It is dead-on for a lot of the state. My girlfriend at the time and 2 other friends were confused and mad at the end of the movie, while I was laughing! The Coen brothers are from here and I love all their work.

Yahhhhh. I live it everyday!

Most of Wisconsinites talk with that accent too. It starts to change a little when you get farther south to Milwaukee and evolves a little more by time you get to Chicago.

It was broadcast on the FX Channel. I don't know if you have access to that channel. You might be able to view on the internet too.
