Do you think they'd use an LTD, what was then a luxury car, as a taxi? It's a base model Ford Custom 500. |

Well I wouldn't really know, I'm from England. But the LTD never seemed like a luxury car (from watching it in films and such), though I suppose it was the American equivalent of a top of the range Ford Granada Ghia or Vauxhall Senator. I think it's funny how now the Mercury Grand Marquis is supposed to be the luxury version of the Ford Crown Victoria, when American sedans all seem so cheap anyway, you could buy a fully equipped Cadillac DTS (which is a huge car) for the price of a low spec BMW 5-Series/Mercedes E-Class in Britain |

That's nothing. From 1966 to 1972, Chevrolet had four of the same car: Bel Air, Biscayne, Impala and Caprice. The Biscayne (introduced in 1958) was the lowest, Bel Air (introduced 1949) was next up, Impala (introduced 1958 as a trim package on the Bel Air coupe, then a proper model in 1959) was top of the line until 1965 when the Caprice was introduced as a trim package on the Impala, then a model in its own right in 1966. The Biscayne was removed from the US market in 1972, continuing in the Canadian market until production stopped in 1975, and the Bel Air was removed from the US market in 1976, continuing in Canada until 1981, and the Impala was dropped in 1985, brought back as the SS package of the Caprice for 1994-96, then reintroduced as a front wheel drive in 1999 after the Caprice and Roadmaster were dropped in 1996. |

Rear views such as the main pic make it easy to identify the particular 1973 models: look at the bit of trim between the taillights.
