Cast

The James Bond movie Live And Let Die was partly set in New York City and many scenes were filmed on location there. The Chevrolet Bel Air used in filming was a 1973 year model with New York registration plate 545 BBB.

The 1973 Chevrolet Bel Air was a basic, low-spec model primarily marketed to automotive fleet customers, including taxi companies and USA police forces. The car used in filming was most probably one of the many Chevrolets supplied by General Motors to the movie production company.
