Chevrolet Caprice Classic, looks to be a 1978 by the egg crate grille.
Those are different cars in the later shot. Looks like a 1981-85 Impala (first two) and a 1979 Impala rear.

It's a 1978 Impala, not a Caprice.

Aha, I had a feeling it was an Impala rather than a Caprice.

After some more thought, I think it's a 1979 Impala with a replacement grille. It looks to be too bare bones to be a Caprice Classic, and the spotlight makes me think it was a former police car - therefore an Impala.

I see what you mean :think:

This is 1979 Chevrolet Impala here: /vehicle_161921-Chevrolet-Impala-1979.html

Do we have a better shot showing the front fender like a few frames later? :think:

This is a more prominent example of what I'm talking about, the police car from Die Hard:

Here's an extra shot if this helps any:

I think I'll go with Ford_Guy's latest finding, 1979 Chevrolet Impala with Caprice Classic grille.

Good catch. Now that I relook at the photo's I see the difference. I just looked at the 78 Caprice Grille, and the original photo it looks like it has wrap around signals on the front corners. However, the other shots show it is just a side marker light.
