Wampa-One ◊ 2008-02-29 23:49	Chevelle, I guess?
rjluna2 ◊ 2008-03-01 02:23	1969.
Skid ◊ 2008-03-01 16:09	Either a 1968 or 1969...I don't think it's possible to tell without seeing the grille or taillights.
rjluna2 ◊ 2008-03-01 18:10	Turning signal/parking lamp position at the bumper and smaller federally mandated side marker do indicates 1969 model year.
Skid ◊ 2008-03-01 18:23	Really? Below is a 1968, and it has turn signals/parking lights in the bumper, and side markers. EDIT: Eh, sorry, just saw the "smaller" part before "side marker." It does indeed appear to be a 1969 model Chevelle. http://www.dragtimes.com/images/7323-1968-Chevrolet-Chevelle.jpg -- Last edit: 2008-03-01 18:58:49 (antp)
BeanBandit ◊ 2008-03-01 18:27	But 1969 model have parking lights in much inner position, like the picture car has. See: http://www.martinmtrs.com/img/1969_chevelle.jpg

car nerd ◊ 2008-03-02 06:44	It has a split grille. No Chevelle had one. I think it's a Canadian model. Sold by Pontiac in 1968/69. Don't recall the model name . I think this is the same car from the rear. /vehicle_158941-Chevrolet-Chevelle-1967.html -- Last edit: 2008-03-02 06:46:03
car nerd ◊ 2008-03-02 07:06	Did some research and found some pics of a 1969 Pontiac Beaumont http://www.cardomain.com/ride/771114
BeanBandit ◊ 2008-03-02 13:38	Filming locations: Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, so it is likely to be one. But what is the true name of the car, somewhere it is Pontiac Beaumont, somewhere it is just Beaumont, as brand?
antp ◊ 2008-03-02 17:56	Just as Beaumont it seems (cf comments on the other Beaumont page and on Wikipedia)
rjluna2 ◊ 2008-03-02 18:21	Antp and car_nerd, you are right it is Canadian made Pontiac Beaumont. The grille design is different from 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle series. I think it the same vehicle as /vehicle_158941-Chevrolet-Chevelle-1967.html . That taillight design threw me off. Opinions?
philr ◊ 2008-03-02 18:55	The Beaumont was sold by the Pontiac/Buick dealers, it had emblems very similar to those on Pontiacs as well as some Pontiac trim but it wasn't officially a Pontiac. However, most people here refer to these as Pontiac Beaumonts. While the full size canadian Pontiacs were Chevrolets with Pontiac body panels and interiors, the Beaumonts shared more exterior parts with the Chevelle than they did with the american Pontiac LeMans. The Beaumont and the LeMans had the same dashboard, it looked like a Pontiac inside.

I have no idea what they were called Skid wrote 1967 Chevelle from a similar angle...notice the taillights. http://www.up22.com/ChevelleImages/1967ChevelleWhiteRear.jpg Beaumonts had different taillights in 1967...and WAY different taillights in 1968 and 1969. plymubishi wrote using that photo verifies that it is NOT a 1967, just as he said ...notice the taillights car nerd wrote 1966/67 Chevelle Malibu's had a "Flying Buttress" rear roof treatment. The car in the main pic has a flush-fitting rear window. Check out the link below. It's a 69 Beaumont and it seems to have identical taillight design. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/771114 Also, I am fairly sure this is the rear of the car in this pic: /vehicle.php?id=158955 plymubishi wrote i agree with car nerd after seeing his links, but it is still not a 1967
firebird86 ◊ 2008-03-04 04:02	Its a 1969
bandit327 ◊ 2009-07-03 19:31	its a 69 notice the tail lights and the turn signals on the front fenders!68 had the smaller square tail lights and the front signals on the fenders were lower and had trim with the engine ident on it 69 didnt!
AMC man ◊ 2011-07-18 18:03	What model is it.
rjluna2 ◊ 2011-07-18 18:37	AMC man wrote What model is it. There is no model name for these Canadian marquee. They were sold through Canadian Pontiac dealer.
AMC man ◊ 2011-09-24 01:16	They look better than chevelles with there split grills. -- Last edit: 2011-09-24 01:17:46
