The movie car features the optional side-mounted spare-wheels. So far as I know the flat, two-bar bumpers [that look like 4-bar type owing to the chrome trim] were standard equipment on the "Custom" models.

It had a rear-mounted spare, disc wheels, the same front bumper and a similar slanted windshield with triangular windows behind it and a visor above. We heard the term "Madam X" associated with the windshield design. When Joe bought the car he was told it was a '27 but later learned it was a '26 - probably a late one. -- Last edit: 2021-06-16 13:12:15
