Late 70's LeSabre? |

I don't know, That trunk looks a little too formal to be a LeSabre. Then again, I don't know of too many Electras with sunroofs or moonroofs. |

Could be a '78 or '79 Electra. -- Last edit: 2008-05-30 15:42:59 |

77'-79' Electra Park Avenue. A sunroof was an available option on this car. The coach lamps on the c=pillar make is a Park Avenue. |

Didn't the '77 have a different grille? |

All three years had a tight egg crate pattern. 77' had 2 bright horizontal bars and 3 vertical. 78' had 1 bright horizontal bar and no vertical. 79' had 2 bright horizontal bars and 5 vertical. Very subtle differences and I cannot tell what the car above has looking at my screen. Maybe sombody else can. |

You can see the grill clearly here: /vehicle_176770-Mercedes-Benz-200-W115-1974.html |

This is a 1977 model. In the second screenshot that someone posted above me, you can see the '77 grille very clearly with its two bright horizontal bars. That rules out the possibility that it was a '78, and it can't be a '79 for two reasons: 1) the grille isn't connected to the headlights with chrome, and 2) the car is the earlier blue-green shade of Medium Green Metallic (44), not the 1979-only lime green shade. GM made their colors and paint codes very confusing. I owned a '79 Electra Park Avenue Sedan a couple of years ago and did all of this research. My grandfather special-ordered a '78 model when he lived in Iran, so at first glance with the Arabic graffiti on the wall, I thought this may have been his. But his was a '78 like I said, and the vinyl roof was green, not white. And it looks like this film wasn't shot in Iran either (understandable with all of the revolution's chaos in 1980). Anyway, this is a 1977 model. |
