This should be called 1961 Chevrolet Brookwood. Final year until 1969 for nomenclature naming convention between station wagon and sedan.

By the side trim I have the impression this is not a Brookwood, but the same '61 Nomad seen elsewhere in the same movie.

Nifty looking red '62 Dodge, too.

Change the page title - electra225 is perfectly correct - a Nomad it is. Check out page 7 of the 1961 Chevrolet sales brochure found on Oldcarbrochures.com:

http://www.oldcarbrochures.com/main.php?g2_itemId=23209

and compare the side chrome of the movie's Chevrolet station wagon a few frames later. The Nomad has distinct Impala side chrome. While the four Bel Air and Biscayne tailight lens design and the rough gleem of side moulding might lead you to think it's a Bel Air trimmed station wagon, a Brookwood or Parkwood it ain't. As electra225 states this wagon appears at least five times at other points of the movie where the Impala chrome is sometimes more clear, specifically at 1:49:22, 1:49:55, 2:00:55 (parking lot), 2:19:00 and 2:53:01. I suspect it's 6 passenger wagon. Why a 6 passenger and not a 9? Look carefully at the rear bumper of the Nomad in the sales brochure, then compare to the rear bumper of the Nomad in the movie.

Proving the same cars were used repetitively as stated by electra225, here's another frame:

Further reappearance of the same cars, often together - the 58 Cadillac travelling before the Chevy Nomad:

You really conviced me. This car could be used as a side stunt car in case the stunt goes wrong :D

How do I get the attention of an administrator to correct the description?

Usually these are noticed faster, as several of us (admins) check all comments posted (sometimes too fast)
It is good now?

Thank you! But there's still a problem. The car immediately following this posting is identified as a 1961 Chevrolet Parkwood. But it's the same Nomad I identified and linked to here, it simply appeared in a different scene in the movie! If you check my links above you'll find my detailed illustration of the styling features making this same station wagon a Nomad, not a Parkwood! The specific link is: http://img229.imageshack.us/img229/2324/nomadlast.jpg
