Is this an old Nova that Brad Pitt is driving?

[Lebowski]

He's in a new Quentin Tarantino movie that's supposed to take place in 1969 and this is one of the preview pics. (The guy in the car with him is supposed to be Leonardo DiCaprio but it doesn't look like him to me.) My guess is the car is a 1962-64 (Chevy II) Nova. What do you guys think?

Whatever it is the hood fit is awful.

It's a 1966 Cadillac.

For the first pic you could see it's either a 65 or 66.  And from the last pic, it's a 66, not a 65. 

 

Also, typical for the hood to rise in that area when hinges are old, worn, not lubed, etc.. vs a fit issue.  On my '65 driver, it does the same thing and I have to push it down Chuck

Yes Chaz, you are absolutely right. I typed "1966" in my head but my fingers seem to do what they like sometimes 

I have corrected it.

On a 62 to 65 Chevy II, the mirror is not sitting in a contour of the window trim like on that picture of the Cadillac.

 

It is screwed to the door in a spot that the owner could do, since it was NOT a required part. They were accessories (factory, dealer or owner installed) up until 1966.

That mirror is Cadillac specific, too.
