In the 1991 film Thelma & Louise, there’s a light-colored instant camera that looks like a Polaroid box camera. Does anyone know which model it is?

It's a Polaroid type 600 box camera
Specifically, it's the Polaroid Cool Cam. This model was not actually white, but grey with pink front plates and a pink strap. Although the pink front isn't visible in the video, you can see the pink strap hanging from the camera.
These cameras shot Polaroid instant film, and many versions of this type were made (all of which very similar).

Based on the community answers, it appears to be a Polaroid 600-series box camera, most likely the Polaroid Cool Cam. That model is often remembered as white or light-colored on screen, but it was actually a grey camera with pink front plates and a pink strap. If the pink front isn’t visible in the scene, the pink strap can help identify it. Polaroid made many very similar 600-type box cameras, so if you’re looking for a match or a similar camera, searching for Polaroid 600 box cameras is your best bet.
