valiant1962 ◊ 2007-01-04 01:41	I just had a look, 57-58 Imp's had a spare tyre imprint too so would have been a very new car when the movie was made.
valiant1962 ◊ 2007-01-04 01:47	Definitely a 57 or 58. 56's were the older shape. Not all 57's appear to have a spare tyre imprint. http://www.imperialclub.com/Yr/index.htm
