Most likely the Oldsmobile Starfire - as opposed to Buick Skyhawks which had a very prominent horizontal stripe in the grille slots that isn't seen here. |

 Huh, Wikipedia says the H-body Buick Skyhawk/Chevrolet Monza/Oldsmobile Starfire debuted in September 1974 for the 1975 MY but IMDb says the Rockford Files TV movie pilot aired on 27 March 1974, so either this is an early pre-production model or this scene was added later when the pilot was split up as a 2 part episode for reruns.The latter could be also said for these other 1975 cars: /vehicle_1141128-AMC-Pacer-1975.html /vehicle_1141122-Chevrolet-Camaro-1975.html /vehicle_1140737-Chevrolet-Impala-1975.html /vehicle_1141134-Datsun-B210-1975.html -- Last edit: 2018-05-12 00:02:18 |

Considering that there's a 1976-77 Cutlass in front of it, I would say it's a scene added later. One of the pics shows a Capri II in the background. |

The grille and trim pieces match the Skyhawk the best. Monza did not have chrome rim around grille, Starfire had different side trim. |
