Hi. I just joined and this is my first submission.
This car was not yet listed on the page for Criminal Minds. As the title says, it is from season 3 episode 02 "In Name and Blood".
Near the end of the episode there is a brief scene in which Dr. Spencer Reid drives his car to Agent Gideon's cabin at night. I believe the car is a 1965 Volvo Amazon P130. It is too dark to see how many doors it has but it does not have the vertical bar in the rear side window that the four door models have. I think the 1966 and later vehicles are slightly lower to the ground or do not
have the silver detail in the middle of the front of the hood.
Someone guessed that the car was turquoise but that color was only used on the Volvo Amazons that were made in 1964 and the color seemed to dark to show up as pale as this car does at night.
Unless blue tinting was used for night effect, I believe the car is "horizon blue" (aka "light blue" color code 89). If blue tinting was used on film it is possible that it is "pearl white" (color code 79). I read somewhere that someone was guessing this was a 121 model, but those were not sold in the US as their engines were too weak. I think the model code for this one is something like P13244V E (meaning it is an exported 1965 two-door passenger sedan with B16 B, or B18 D engine and M40 four speed fully synchronized floor gearbox with steering wheel on the left side) or P13246V E (same as the previous except with a BW35 three step automatic transmission instead of the M40). I'm basing the engine choice from looking at lists of which engines were used in US P130s from that year.
I took 3 screen captures from the DVD. I cropped them to 720x406pixels. I hope that gives the right aspect ratio. If not please let me know what height it should be for that width.
I'm going to try to link the images in thumbnail version. I hope this works.
