I have a discrepancy with an administrator on the roles of importance with the buses in the movie "Atlantic City". Here's the page in question: http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_336074-GMC-S8M-5303-A-1969.html. You can see 3 GMC buses in the uploaded shot on the site. 2 of the 3 buses in the foreground with the "Lincoln Limited" scripture font below the windshields were in the Lincoln Transit Co. livery, but I have identified the bus almost out of the shot with the fleet number 181 as a 1969 GMC S8M-5303A. You can see a pic of another GMC bus in the same livery here. The third GMC bus in the background had a livery I have yet to identify. However, when I was watching the bus station scene, I realized none of them were used in a short scene with the main characters and considered them as background vehicles.

I created a new vehicle page for the bus used in a short scene, which I had identified as a 1970 GMC S8M-5303A. Here's a few links to the shots of the bus used in the short scene:

The first two pics (the first pic I wanted to use on the site) show a bus driver collecting tickets and a part of a bus with the red and dark blue stripes surrounding the first passenger window with the fleet number 720B, which I have identified earlier. The third pic shows the Susan Sarandon character conversing with the same bus driver shown in the first two pics with the Transport of New Jersey shoulder patch. The fourth pic shows the bus driver inside the bus with a clearer view of the shoulder patch. All of what I've described match the following pic of another GMC bus with the same stripe layout and the transit company logo: http://gallery.bustalk.info/displayimage.php?album=67&pos=51. A bus like that doesn't match any of the buses in this page, but vilero deletes the vehicle page I created and thinks that the bus in the short scene is in the shot. I explained to him about it, but he never made any changes and I believe he's wrong.

If you care about the accuracy of the vehicle roles in movies and the type of vehicle it is right down to the year, then it would be best if there's another page for the vehicle used in the short scene instead of compiling it with vehicles that have no involvement with the main characters.
