Ford... Fairlane 500 2 door hardtop..? seems too plain to be a Torino. 1970+ i believe.

Not the 1970.5 Ford Falcon?

i had considered that ~ and had to try to decide if the one in the photo was a 2 door sedan, or a 2 door hardtop. as far as i can determine, the 2 door falcons were all sedans, leaving the lowest model of 2 door (pillarless) hardtop as the fairlane 500.

i strained my eyes on this one trying to see that pillar...

But this car is so plain and stark from the rear and side.
Are you SURE it's not a Falcon?
All the Torino and Fairlane photos I have seen seem show some kind of side trim or at least nameplates and I see none here.
(I agree I do not see a "B" pillar but it's not completely clear.)

Is there another angle available?

another angle would be most helpful indeed...

it all comes down to that pillar, which surely doesn't seem to be there from this angle.

otherwise, yes - QUITE plain.

though... did the Falcons have a script at the rear quarter that's absent here as well..?

OK. Anyone have access to this movie and can look for this scene? Does the car in question have a "B" pillar?

the 1970 fairlane 500 never had a trunk badge or the "F O R D" badge in-between the tailights to my knowledge, must be a falcon or 71 torino 500
