Theory: Beginning of movie takes place earlier?

Not to try and make me sound like a genius or anything...but, I speculated about this same theory in the original thread wherein we all discussed the Teaser trailer. I noticed that in the shot of Indy in the warehouse (standing on crates) and smiling...he looks a lot younger than he does in other shots...which is what led me to come to the conclusion being proposed here.

i'm not super knowledgeable about 50s fords, but it seems to me that the side-mirrors on the empire photo are a bit different than the 1950 ford coupe posted. also, though this may be the lighting, it looks like the front end of the hood is a bit more arched/rounded.
not sure though... but i guess all this goes off the assumption that government/russian-spy cars were up-to-date in that particular year.
edit: on second glance, i actually think the hood is closer, if not the same, between the two pictures.

Of course this is all speculation... but I think if we use the evidence presented it points towards these events happening in the same time frame.
1) Indiana, Spalko and Mac all have the same clothing. This does not correlate with other movies where we've seen, for example, Beloq wearing a different costume in the South American intro of Raiders.
2) Area 51 and the motor vehicles seen in the warehouse pictures seem to suggest the 50's and not 40's.
3) If they could get Harrison to look 10 years younger by giving him some darker hair, I think they would have done that for the whole movie and not just the intro.

No one, apparently. But you do realize that if any of these bold claims you've made here during these past few months turn out to be misses, we are going to laugh at you? Long and hard.Sankara said:Who want's to bet with me?
As far as the main subject of this thread goes, it's a pretty nice theory. Still, something makes me think the warehouse is NOT the opening adventure. What that is, I can't quite put my finger on.

If Abner Ravenwood is indeed in the movie... it would not surprise me if we were to get a 10/15 minute intro showing Abner's/Indy's first adventure together...

It happens later - Indy and Mac have to get the Ark for some reason. Probably to put the skull in and contain its power, otherwise the world will explode or something.
