Movies and TV series

In the swedish TV-serie "Snutarna" (shown about 1994) there is a 164 -71 that is beaten up and smashed. Really low budget program but at least it is a 164.......
(the car was later bought by one of our members and repaired. Later story unknown, probably gone to the junk yard..... R.I.P. )

In a swedish movie called "Nu är pappa trött igen" with Gösta Ekman (1995?) there is a 164 in the beginning. In the first scene you can see the number " BAF 116", in the second scene the number is deleted! From Ulf Hammar

"Skyjacked" from 1972 with Charles Heston. A hijacked airplane is forced to Russia and they are welcomed by military an police that hides behind two black 164s from 1972. From Mats Andersson
