By the big, rounded back window something from the late 50ies, early 60ies.

I think it is a 1958 Chevrolet Del Ray 4 door sedan. Like This http://www.58classicchevy.com/images/1958-chevrolet-delray-3.jpg

back door window doesnt look right for a 58 Chevrolet, plus the dip on the top of the backdoor is not in the top pic. It reminds me of a stripped down version of a 1955/56 Nash Ambassador

I modified this pic to lighten it up as much as I could

Trim could also make it a President.

I agree, but, would a police dept. use a President as a Police car?

Logically a Commander or a Scotsman is more likely but it depends what the movie company found to convert into a 4 door police sedan. I am just thinking the the side chrome trim in a lightned picture looks more like this 1958 President - http://hem.bredband.net/b284654/IMAGES/1958President_4dr_sedan.jpg

Commander 57 wrote It is a President.
(Note the rear door vent windows, a feature only found on the longer wheelbase President models.)
It is a 1956 or a 1957 if there is a hood ornament. The picture is dark, but it looks like there is one.
(The 1958's did not have hood ornaments)

Upon closer inspection, this is definitely a 1957 President, per just visible side trim, the rear door vent window (making it a President Classic) and presence of a hood ornament.
