Ford_Guy ◊ 2007-07-20 23:15	1987-1990. Then again, it has those headlights of an '86. I don't think it's a 9C1.
qwerty_86 ◊ 2007-07-21 00:35	No, it has the composite headlight. There's just a thick black line drawn on it for some reason.
Wampa-One ◊ 2008-02-05 17:24	Anachronism since the movie was set in 1980.
Snookie ◊ 2008-02-10 16:21	From IMDB: "Anachronisms: The opening scene of the police car features an 1988 Chevrolet Caprice and not a 1980 (or earlier). There are numerous late 80's Caprices in the film - all too new for the setting of 1980."
mister car from 971 ◊ 2008-02-10 19:30	It's amazing! Caprices from the late 80's which feature in movie set in the early 80's? That's not possible!

Ford_Guy ◊ 2008-02-11 06:27	I wrote that comment when another previous shot of the car was posted. Much of the car wasn't visible. i'd like to see a better shot to be completely sure, but the spotlight does make me think a bit more that it could be a 9C1.
garco ◊ 2008-02-11 21:22	This car doesn't get many screentime (This might be the best shot). Maybe check the Ford Granada. It is the same car. /vehicle_117259-Ford-Granada-1976.html -- Last edit: 2008-02-11 21:22:37

vestman ◊ 2008-03-08 08:56	It could very well be a 9C1. No rubber on the bumpers, small side biew mirrors, search light, push bumpers(-ish).. But it's certainly been (poorly) modified to look like a pre-'86. -- Last edit: 2008-03-08 08:56:50

There are numerous late 80's Caprices in the film - all too new for the setting of 1980." Actually, the car in the opening scene is a 1990. You can tell because it is the ONLY year of the Caprice's to have the seatbelt mounted on the door, rather than the B-pillar. This was the one thing that bothered me in the movie. Being an avid cop car fan and owning an '89 Caprice 9C1 myself, it was sort of disapointing to find out later on that the movie took place in 1980. Also, it's hard to tell if a Caprice is a 9C1, by just looking at a picture. The only way to tell would be to check the SPID label in the trunk (unless it's been painted over or if it's even the orignal trunk lid to the car) and look for the RPO code "9C1". There are many other things to check for, but cop cars can/could have been ordered with regular civilian things, so unless you can check that trunk label it's anyones guess. I'd say more than likely it IS a 9C1. -- Last edit: 2008-09-15 07:32:47
Ford_Guy ◊ 2008-10-19 00:51	Isn't the main picture quite fuzzy and could possibly be replaced by one of the other ones?
Ford_Guy ◊ 2008-12-15 22:45	Well, my previous comment still stands ^^^ Anyhow, I found the car: http://www.picturecarwarehouse.net/details.php?id=5504
Snookie ◊ 2008-12-17 21:46	Did they keep the lightbar when they finished with the car?
Ford_Guy ◊ 2008-12-17 22:55	I don't know...it didn't say anything on the site about the lightbar.
Snookie ◊ 2008-12-18 06:30	Maybe the lightbar was just a non operable prop, or the car can be fitted with different lightbars depending on what type of squad car the car is portraying. -- Last edit: 2008-12-18 06:30:55
JENSDONT ◊ 2010-10-17 14:11	A 90's car in an 80's movie XD
Nightrider ◊ 2011-06-01 18:11	Nobody seems notice fact,that this generation Caprice wasn't changing much during production years and most of the viewers wouldn't determine it's vintage down to year.
rjluna2 ◊ 2012-06-26 21:45	Looks like they took a great length to yank the CHMSL out of the rear window
1970_chevy ◊ 2015-08-12 05:37	This is clearly a 1986 model. That is indisputable.
Ford_Guy ◊ 2015-11-30 00:48	This is clearly a 1990 model. That is indisputable.
karoomay ◊ 2015-11-30 04:07	In these shots, it does seem to have door mounted seat belts so it's possible they used a double that is not a 1990 model:

dawnslayer ◊ 2023-03-29 16:48	this movie is set in the 80s tho.. lol
Baube ◊ 2023-03-29 18:14	not that bad.. the car was pretty much the same from 1987 ( even 1986 from the rear ) to 1990 -- Last edit: 2023-03-29 18:27:44
