It wears the plate 117 261 when it first appears, then changes to 117 223, but actually there are two cars that use the former plate, notice the wiper position.

Double 1: used in a short scene where it swerves to avoid the Cadillac. Presumably filmed on location by a second unit, hence the usage of the Cadillac double as well.

Double 2: used for a brief shot where it rolls over at first. Another shot which was probably done on location.

Double 3: used in a long shot and for the final rollover where it explodes and burns. Note missing wipers, missing foglight, lopsided bumper, and pre-war details.
Interesting to note is that it's RHD in the long shot but LHD in the rollover/explosion. Probably accomplished through the use of mirrored footage.
