Commander 57 ◊ 2013-03-17 23:50	If we assume correct 2-toning (no re-paint between '57/'58 and year of movie) then this is either a '57 Golden Hawk or a '58 Silver Hawk, as those models had the 2nd paint tone on the fin only. I'm inclined to say '57 Golden Hawk as I cannot see the large round emblem that should be in the lower center of the grille on all 1958 models. I can see no definitive indication of a "B" pillar, so will change listing to Golden Hawk from Silver Hawk. (View of side trim is also too blurry to tell if it is the Golden or Silver Hawk style.) -- Last edit: 2013-03-17 23:51:30
