I don't think I see rocker panel moldings; making this a Bel Air.

:wow: I don't believe my eyes!

You may be right, somename.

I propose this is 1977 Chevrolet Bel Air due to the script placement.

Normally the Impala script would have been at the C-pillar.

Ep 1.11, stand-in for a new Caprice:

How are we certain this is a 1977 Bel Air? The only badge on this car seems to be behind the front wheel arches where a Pontiac Catalina and Bonneville (as well as the Canadian Laurentian and Parisienne) badges were placed. The location of side badges of the '77 to '79 model Bel Air is on the rear fenders near the turn signal indicators. Unlike the new, more discrete, itallicized letter badges that were positioned on the C-pillars of Impala and Caprice models, the '77-'79 Bel Air retained the script badge in the style of the final American model of '75.

If this is a stand-in for a newer Caprice being blown up and was originally a Bel Air, it would likely have been repainted with the badges left off. But it could also have been a repainted Impala sans badges at the C-Pillar. The two-tone paint was exclusive to the Caprice.

I knew that Bel Air continued on in Canada as I rode in a Bel Air taxi during a trip there as a kid in 1979. The return was in a Plymouth Gran Fury...not as interesting.... But like the end of the Bel Air in the US, it really was a stripped stripper model intended for fleet use.
