Actually, the car on the right is a 1970 Buick Electra, 4door, blue with a black top. They used it a Detective car in the movie. The front of the 1970 Buick Electra is identical to the 1970 LeSabre, and 1970 Buick Wildcat. The rear fenders and tailghts are different though. I also saw all the movies cars in Yonkers after filming. They were parked in the old car dealership on Tuckhoe Road in Yonkers, N.Y. right off the Sprain Brook Parkway and were for sale. The Electra had a very clean interior.. I should have bought it. I bought a 1970 buick Electra a few years later I found online, and I still have it. |

Nice differentiation I was not aware of. Are we sure there was just one mirror offering for each year or could one or the other style be optional? (I've always been a bit wary about using side-view mirrors for precise identification because, like wheel covers, there tend to be optional ones available.) |
