badlymad ◊ 2007-03-28 02:54	Plymouth Gran Fury?
Ford_Guy ◊ 2007-03-28 03:30	1979-1980 Plymouth Gran Fury
Snookie ◊ 2007-03-28 14:51	The R body Gran Fury debuted in 1980, while its counterparts were released in 1979. 1980 Gran Fury
Snookie ◊ 2007-03-28 14:53	Either I'm crazy, or is this an LAPD car with 1970's era can lamps that were last used on a 1978 Plymouth Fury
Ford_Guy ◊ 2007-03-29 00:32	Snookie, the years for the R-bodies have always confused me. Let me get this straight and tell me if this is correct: Chrysler Newport: 1979 only Plymouth Gran Fury: 1980-1981 St. Regis-1979-1981 And you are right about the can lights, although the ones on this car seem a little too close together.

Right. The 'R' body St. Regis/ Newport was released from 1979-1981. The 'R' body Gran Fury was introduced in 1980, and dropped along with all the other 'R' body platforms in 1981.
Snookie ◊ 2007-03-29 00:37	And this LAPD car has Illinois municipal plates!!
Ford_Guy ◊ 2007-03-29 00:38	Thanks Snookie And I also noticed the Illinois plates. -- Last edit: 2007-03-29 00:39:25

Snookie ◊ 2007-03-29 03:59	Very True!! It could be a suburban department, as the Chicago PD never had Chryslers in the 1980's
Kazimann ◊ 2010-02-05 23:19	It has LAPD stickers on the side of it.
jettalover ◊ 2010-02-08 05:53	All of this movie was shot in Illinois. So perhaps the movie car rental company sourced it in L.A. and shipped it to Chicago area for the filming.
