taxiguy ◊ 2008-04-09 02:10	Yep. Caprice/Impala 1975 or 1976
rjluna2 ◊ 2008-04-09 02:40	It looks more like 1976 Buick to me. Headlight assembly, wheel design and rear fender don't correspond to Chevrolet Impala/Caprice.

philr ◊ 2008-04-10 04:13	rjluna2 wrote I thought rectangle headlight were introduced in 1976 model year Well, I don't see rectangular headlights on this one. The 1975 Electra has rectangular headlights but the LeSabre and Estate Wagon still had round headlights that year. The grille was lower on the 1975 and the flashers were located in the bumper (they are visible on this picture, that confirms it's a 1975). In 1976, the flashers were moved below the headlights above the bumper. Here's a picture showing the front of my 1975 Electra a 1975 Estate Wagon and a 1976 Estate Wagon
philr ◊ 2008-04-10 04:23	And the cars I showed on these pictures have the optional cornering lights but the car featured in this movie lacks them. The 1975 had standard side marker lights in the bumpers but these were moved to the front fenders in 1976. If it would be a 1976, you'd see them in the fenders. 1975 Electra without cornering lights 1976 LeSabre without cornering lights (note the side marker lights in the fenders)
