What car is this? (BBC crappy stock image)

What car is this


Looks about 40-50 years old to me and probably American, doesn't seem particularly relevant to the article.

Seems a lazy choice of someone who picked the first image they saw but could be wrong.

Article is here if you want a better look

Google image searched it to the Getty Images page of the original not cropped image

I don't know what it is either. No details on the Getty page.

What’s more worrying is that they paid £375 for it!!

Toyota Camry
Something Japanese from the 80’s for sure.

No one pays that. A big business like the BBC will pay a monthly amount for access to the entire library.
We pay less than £5 a picture and the BBC is far bigger than us so I should think they pay less than that

I expect BBC probably pays a lot less

Looks like some sort is 70’s American saloon. Was thinking Cadillac or Buick maybe?
