Looks like a full size Buick to me. |

Yeah, a 1980-85 Lesabre or 1980-84 Eletra. |

It's an Electra for sure but it may be a 1977-80 model as well. |

I think it's a '79. |

It's a 1980 or newer model, the roofline is different on the pre-1980 models... |

I thought 80+ models had a more sloping hood and also part of the turn signals in the side part of the front fenders, which this car doesn't have. That's what makes me think this is a '79 model. I looked up '79 Electras and they had a front clip for that year only. |

You are right, It's a '79! (I was wrong in my previous post...). But the '79 Electra also had side markers just above the front bumper and they aren't visible on that car... The rectangle in the image did let me think the vinyl top didn't extend below the backglass on the "C" pillars... I should have noticed that it did extend to the end of the door glass on the side while the 1980 and newer models don't... -- Last edit: 2009-08-29 06:09:17 |

The side markers are probably there, but we just can't see them in the quality of this picture. Anybody know if this is an Electra Park Avenue, or just a regular Electra? |

It's hard to tell... BTW, it's still listed as a 1980 (it's a 1979) |

A friend of mine was an 'extra' so to speak in this scene. He was on 'Liberty'(shore leave)from the Navy over at the nearby Base in Earle,New Jersey(?) and he and some of his shipmates were there sightseeing in NYC where they were staging this....he said the directors just told everyone "There's going to be a large explosion,and some cars are going to fly.....everyone act surprised??" |
