Fair use rationale for Image:Entertaining-mr-sloane-poster.jpg

In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

1959 Pontiac Parisienne
There now seems to be a good WP:RS source for this detail - an interview in The Guardian by Karin Andreasson on 12 February 2015. I suggest it's added in the Production section. Martinevans123 (talk) 21:41, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

Pink? I have done some research on Syd's 'pink' Pontiac and the story that it was a 'chameleon' car changing colour every few months seems improbable, because... Occam's razor. Felix Atagong (talk) 10:45, 22 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Mick Rock claims it was pink in several books and articles but his own pictures, some in colour, show it was definitively blue when it was parked in front of Syd's house. (The black and white pictures show a very dark grey tint, a pink car would have a much lighter grey on the B&W pictures.)
 * Duggie Fields remembers it as pink and has painted it that way, which is weird as it was blue when standing in front of Syd's door.
 * One of Barrett's girlfriends changed her story over the years, from a blue car to begin with to the pink-blue-pink story.
 * For years it was believed that the car made its movie appearance before Syd got it, probably because the movie and the ITV (1968) version of the play were mixed up. (Duggie Fields also claimed that the car had been used in the movie Loot, instead of EMS.)   — Preceding unsigned comment added by Felix Atagong
 * The 1959 Pontiac Parisienne didn't come in pink, so this necessitates another paint job, so 4 in total: blue (or another 'factory' colour) - then pink - then blue - then pink again.
 * Unfortunately I couldn't find sources about its colour when the car was given away on Alice Pollock and Ossie Clark’s New Year’s Eve party.
 * The same goes for when Mickey Finn had the car, no sources about the colour.
 * However, in the movie, the metal interior of the car, the bars to open the roof, are blue.
 * There is the odd story or rumour that Syd bought a 'pink Cadillac' when the band was on the road in the USA and asked his managers to transport it to the UK. This car has never materialized, but the one story may have contaminated the other (and 'pink Cadillac' is a legend, a meme avant la lettre, on its own).
 * Obviously the car is pink in the EMS movie and that may have influenced the story as well.
