It's a Galaxie, but I can't tell if it's a 1965 or a 1966.

My memory of the movie is that this is definitely a '66 Galaxie...I just don't remember if it's a Galaxie or Galaxie 500.

Who knows. The director may have known, before his death in 1985.

Although it looks black in the movie, based on the light blue interior this car was most likely Nightmist Blue, a very attractive dark metallic blue.

It appears to have been equipped fairly typically for a Galaxie 500 of the time period: 390 V8 engine, column-shift automatic, top-option "simulated mag" wheel covers, and air conditioning (which must have been useful in the Texas summer).
