Which car? The one with the nose sticking out is a 1979-1981 Dodge St. Regis. -- Last edit: 2008-01-15 00:10:32 |

Looks like the white one (the last car) is a Ford Crown Victoria? -- Last edit: 2008-01-15 00:25:16 |

The one in the very back? Yes. Although at this point in time it was either just "LTD" or "LTD Crown Victoria", depending on if it's a 1979-1982 or a 1983-1987 model. |

You mean the last car? It looks like a Ford LTD to me edit: Yes we agree ![]() -- Last edit: 2008-01-15 00:22:24 |

It's actually either a 1979 Chrysler Newport or a 1980-1981 Plymouth Gran Fury. And the one to the rear is indeed an LTD, might be a Crown Victoria, depending on the year or other details which are not visible. |

I really don't think any of these cars are worth posting from what is visible of them.... ![]() |

I would say the R-body police car IF someone can positively confirm whether it's a Newport or a Gran Fury. |

First of all, how do you know it's not a Dodge? |

From what I've learnt here, Dodge St.Regis have different front: vehicle_84444-Dodge-St-Regis-1979.html edit: Plymouth GranFury: vehicle_59156-Plymouth-Gran-Fury-1980.html -- Last edit: 2008-01-15 00:37:18 |

I see... what about the Chryslers? |
◊ 2008-01-15 00:41 |
The Chryslers and Plymouths essentially had the same fronts, but the name on the grill was different. The only other obvious difference that I know of is that they both had different tailights. -- Last edit: 2008-01-15 01:57:25 |

We'll need some expert for Chrysler Newports, they look identical to the Gran Fury's for me: vehicle_5586-Chrysler-Newport-1979.html |

It's a '80-'81 Plymouth Gran Fury, the Newports are very similar, but the grille is divided into more "squares" and there is chrome strip on the tail lights the Furys don't have. Also of note is the R body Newport came out in '79, while the R-body Gran Fury didn't arrive until 1980. Link to "www.tocmp.com" |
