bh ◊ 2009-07-07 23:50	Should be three stars. These Caprices (assuming they're all Caprices) are used in two separate car chases. This is the only one that was just background: -- Last edit: 2009-07-07 23:51:51
Ford_Guy ◊ 2009-07-07 23:58	The one in the main capture is a 1980-1985 model. The car(s) in the second, third, and eighth thumbnail is an Impala.
Snookie ◊ 2009-07-08 03:44	Spotlights indicate 9C1. Impalas are 1981-1985 -- Last edit: 2009-07-08 03:44:38
Ford_Guy ◊ 2009-07-08 05:19	The Caprices of that era weren't 9C1's, the Impalas were.
G-MANN ◊ 2009-07-09 15:32	I decided to change the main picture. There are 3 cars used by the Punxsatawny Police in this film, with the numbers 1, 2 and 3 on the C-pillar. Two of them of Caprices, the other one is an Impala. The main image is from the chases featuring the red Cadillac Eldorado. Front of the car in the main image: In the second chase where Phil (Bill Murray) steals a red Chevrolet pickup truck, at first the police car is this Caprice: Then in another shot it turns into one without a Chevrolet badge (lettering) in the grille (which is like the one in the main image), then it turns into an Impala then back into a Caprice when they get to the quarry. There is also one which has State Trooper livery (although I don't know if it's a real Pensylvania State Police car): -- Last edit: 2009-07-09 15:34:08

taxiguy ◊ 2009-07-09 19:50	Yeah the main one is an Impala
G-MANN ◊ 2009-07-09 19:56	Right, better change the main image again. It seems they keep switching the cars from shot-to-shot.
Snookie ◊ 2009-07-20 17:46	ford_guy wrote The Caprices of that era weren't 9C1's, the Impalas were. If that's so, could this car may be an Impala with Caprice trim?
Ford_Guy ◊ 2009-07-21 03:55	Not likely, it's probably just a Caprice with aftermarket spotlights and fleet wheels/hubcaps. Although a good way of knowing would be to see the car from the rear also.
Snookie ◊ 2009-07-21 07:54	okay, thanks.
ReeceTheFanBoy ◊ 2022-06-10 05:39	All have the 1981-85 grill.
