When the car goes over the cliff you can see the front end is already badly damaged, so this must have been a late-model wreck the studio bought for the scene. Also, it has '51 Chrysler wheel covers, which means they swapped on some 15-inch wheels - cheaper junkyard parts. -- Last edit: 2018-01-06 17:50:34
