Default Guess this car

Saw this tonight on the Hallmark channel. I had to laugh what they are calling it and when they were driving it. Can you guess what it is?? Had to take a picture off the TV.

Looks to be a 68 with a 70-72 type cowl hood. Front grille, from what you can see almost looks like a Beaumont.

Not a 67, and Fastback?? Hank you are correct, a very nice looking 68 Beaumont.

They kept calling it a Chevelle in the movie.

Tony, the picture made me think of the Chevelle that I saw at Frankenmuth a few years back. The rear end was shortened. Do you remember that ?

I remember that car, it's been at Frankenmuth several times. Guys got more money than brains.

I like the Beaumonts, they look a little classier than a Chevelle. Little changes here and there.

Hey Nancy, ya musta been lookin at it backwards.....LOL. They actually sit in the back seat. The doors on the car are the back doors from a 4 door chevelle, that is what that car was made from. He cut the whole front seat section out from the car and then rejoined the 2 sections. That car when idling down the street has the same effect as "Shaboom Extreme" with the RUMP...RUMP...RUMP. I did see him pull the front wheels one time on Main Street in Frankenmuth. I have a pic of it here somewhere.
