Eldorado Photo Shoot Location

[rslezak]

Can anyone take a stab at where Moto Guzzi filmed the commercial for the Eldorado. The one with Ewan McGregor at a "last chance" gas station and what looks like a road side motel.

 Its obviously in the US Southwest somewhere but I can't seem to pin down the location by looking though google maps. There's no meta data from the photos to glean info from. So, if anyone knows about where this area is, I'd appreciate anyone sharing the location....

Thanks,
Robert

Do you mean this commercial:

If so, I don't know the exact location, but the bike appears to have a California license plate and the scenery looks like some places around the Mojave desert, which is quite large... Another clue, there are Joshua Trees, so that clearly limits the location to American Southwest.

There are lots of dusty shack stores and gas stations in the area... but they are not very close together.

I've got a map, lets go find it...

I believe it is Club Ed.  The movie set built by Dennis Hopper.

Yup - that's it. Most of the "real" last chance gas stations have better pumps and worse facilities - or they are major merchants such as Chevron.

 He pronounces Guzzi the exact same way as David Welch does , no idea how that works , David is from Northern Louisiana
