The car had been modified by George Barris for remote control operation of the doors, hood, and trunk; he also changed the nameplate from "D-528" to "Beldone" at the request of Paramont Pictures. However, the car looked essentially the same, despite a new paint job. The car stayed with Paramont for quite a while, showing up in various TV shows and movies, until it returned to George Barris and eventually passed into private hands.
vilero ◊ 2011-06-09 13:17	From http://www.theglobeandmail.com/auto/article896793.ece The D 528 had a rather desultory career compared to its stable mate, the Futura, but ended up doing the odd commercial and cameo. Its biggest coup was with Jerry Lewis in the movie The Patsy in a scene which is unfortunately often cut from recent video tapes. And this is, sadly, what I get. So...sorry, there aren't pcitures of this gorgeous http://www.pbase.com/noyphoto/image/130084944 http://www.mercurypedia.org/1955-mercury-d-528-concept
