The red repainted car in the last part of this movie is a 1971 Olds Cutlass with a standard hood, NOT a 1970 model with hood scoops as the Black Cutlass seen throughout the movie prior to the "repaint job".
The car featured throughout the film is a 1970 model Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Convertible.
The calendar shown hanging in the motel office is turned to August, with the 1st falling on a Wednesday. Although the time-setting of the film is ambiguous, since James drives a Hyundai, which didn't come to America until 1986, the most likely year the story takes place (assuming the motel is displaying an up-to-date calendar) is 1990. as the only year between 1997 and 1986 with Wed, Aug 1 is that year.
