The old Instagram app icon looked like a vintage instant camera. Which Polaroid model was it based on, or what camera most closely matches its design?

It's Polaroid Land Camera 1000.
It's obviously not classic SX-70 because it's not SLR, it has see-through viewfinder.

The closest match mentioned is the Polaroid Land Camera 1000. It resembles the old Instagram logo more than an SX-70, since the icon looks like a box-style instant camera with a see-through viewfinder rather than the folding SLR design of the SX-70. That said, it was likely only inspired by Polaroid styling rather than being an exact copy of one specific camera model.
