rjluna2 ◊ 2011-07-07 01:43	Hmm... By the front sidemarker tells me that is 1987-90 Chevrolet Caprice version. Comment/rebuttal?
cl82 ◊ 2011-07-07 01:45	You could be right. I just thought it could be plain enough to be the cheaper one of the two in question.
CarGuy1 ◊ 2011-07-07 01:50	Well, the last year for the 80's impala was 1985, and this movie was filmed in '97, so I'm thinking the Caprice(continued in this body style until '90). Also, I thought from the shot that shows the headlight that this has composite headlights, which was used on late 80s caprices, but its tough to tell for sure.

Like CarGuy said, 1985 was the last year for the Impala. Chevy then added a base model Caprice trim to replace it so it can look plain since it is trimmed like the previous Impala.
