DynaMike ◊ 2011-02-14 22:30	Must be newer than 1954. Sunroof became available in 1957, and it looks like the front door windows already have the quarterlights, introduced in April 1958. Though I'm not sure whether it can be that new (regarding the date of release of this movie). If it does have the front quarterlights and April 1958 is too late, I'd say the chrome beltline is just not visible on this picture and it'll be a 1956+ 190 [W121] or 219 [W105]...

DynaMike ◊ 2011-02-14 23:32	The thumbnail clearly shows there is no chrome beltline, so not a 190 or 219, and the badge on the bootlid looks like 180. But again it looks like there are front quarterlights... Maybe these were available as optional extra? I don't know about the hubcaps, but indeed early models have these small stars and late models have bigger ones.
