The chrome spear on the side looks like Savoy trim. 1958 Savoy's had chrome trim along the front fender at that level but did not in '57. I would go with 1958 Savoy. (The fact that the car is a taxi is not relevent as the movie makers simply got a period car and transformed it. They could not care less whether or not it was an accurate model to be a taxi) -- Last edit: 2009-09-08 16:01:29
