I was at first thinking the interior (sterring wheel and dash) could match a '59 Plymouth, but the C-pillar doesn't match. 1960+ product. -- Last edit: 2016-01-07 17:15:20

I was wrong with my first idea of a '60 Imperial, but now it's clear. Due to the ornaments on the top of the front fenders, the moldings on the roof with the two tone combination, the steering wheels and the instrument clusters, it's a '59 Chrysler two door hardtop coupe. Finally, the same car can be seen again in another short scene from 1:27:26 to 1:27:57. where we can see the molding running along the front fender and last but not least at 1:27:38 the ornament at the base of the C pillar which is specific to the New Yorker. So, it's a '59 Chrysler New Yorker two door hardtop coupe Model MC-3-H , body style 552. It was a low production car of only 2435 units.
