Shervinator ◊ 2018-03-20 06:03	It appears that there were actually two different 500SELs used for this car: a Euro-market one (a grey market import) and a US-spec one, both in Champagne (paint code 473) over Palomino leather. You can tell the difference between the two from the longer bumpers on the US-spec car. The Euro-spec car was only used for two shots, in the scene outside Charlie's apartment (note the metal plate riveted into the door jamb – very likely an original import tag): The US-spec car was used in the chase scene:
