Researches for Raiders

Hello!

This is a very nice website. I'm a great Indy-fan but not a real expert. Maybe some of you could answer me a few question about Raiders of the Lost Ark. This would be very nice.

1. What is known about about Forrestal?
2. What kind of car does Indy possess?
3. Does someone know the real name of the college/builing in Raiders of the Lost Ark? In the book it's called the Marshall-College.

Welcome to the Raven Sascha Borisow. It?s good to have another devotee from Germany.

Welcome Sascha! Always nice to have another Indy fan on board.

I will try to answer your questions as best I can.

1. What is known about about Forrestal?
Not a lot is known about Forrestal, but he is mentioned in the Raiders RPG book from West End Games, and I have taken some of the references and used them in my Raiders journal here: http://www.theindyexperience.com/journal_raiders/cover.shtml

2. What kind of car does Indy possess?
I don't think that this has ever been clarifed for sure.

I know that in Last Crusade he is driving a Ford Coupe, and in the books is known for driving Ford's which is pretty apt when you consider who played Indy. In another book, the White Witch by Martin Caidin, Indy drives a Bentley BG 400 (the guy has taste!)

3. Does someone know the real name of the college/builing in Raiders of the Lost Ark? In the book it's called the Marshall-College.

According to various sources including this one http://www.fast-rewind.com/
This was filmed at the Royal Masonic School for Girls, located at Rickmansworth Park ion Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire, UK.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Canyon! You did help me a lot. There are good chances that we'll produce a classic 2d adventure based on Raiders of the Lost Ark. So I might come up with some more "strange" questions.

No problem. Glad I could be of help.

Indy drives a 1934 chevrolet 2-door sedan.See for yourself
Compare that to the car seen on screen. It should be a match.
