Baube ◊ 2021-04-18 22:56	don't know.. maybe the guy put the wax on and went to his coffee break , forgetting the car was needed immediately for filming.. maybe frost.. i don't see why they would alterate a new car's paint .. ( but with Hollywood we never know.. ) -- Last edit: 2021-04-18 22:57:49

Baube ◊ 2021-04-18 23:09	could be it, i did not thought of that ( i'm used to see cars with white protective sheets , was it the 50's equivalent to that ? )
Gongora ◊ 2021-04-18 23:26	Ah okay, hahaha I imagine the wax guy with his coffee and his donut
