<VV> Corvair siting on ABC-TV's "Pan Am" ?

[Charles Lee]

Wasn't Pan American Airlines the "air"-line used in "2001-Space Odyssey" too
?

I think they are also using a bit of "MI6" (?) "Burn Unit" and "24" to make
a 60's espionage show plus some 50's-60's feminine-oppression, etc.

The stewardess is a courier/spy for the background-cold-war political
treachery of the era.

The best part is the use of old cars that don't seem to be accurate, but fun
to play "car spy" as they whiz by the screen, trying to find your favorite
Corvair in the background somewhere !

Nice old planes, too, ~ plenty of 707, DC-6 and DC-7, maybe a Connie or two
? Cool vintage planes to watch, if you remember them !

I believe I saw a newspaper headline in one scene that read "November 1961"
but the 707's first flight was 1958.

It's drivel.

It is a prime-time television series, new this month, using Pan American 
World Airways as a premise, the 1960s as a setting, and the stewardesses 
as the object.

It is a lame attempt to clone the success of "Mad Men" (also a crappy TV 
show).
