1947-1952 Studebaker... Edit: The one in the Ford picture would be a '47. -- Last edit: 2012-04-12 03:59:17 |

This 2-door sedan is not a '51 or '52 owing to the 2-piece rear window. If in fact it is the same car as the one shown in the link, it is a '47 Champion owing to the single taillamp divider and the unique to '47 bumper guards. |

I'm curious about the train more than anything else. Those look like New Haven Railroad cars. -- Last edit: 2012-04-12 05:46:57 |

There are two in Westport: http://as0.mta.info/mnr/stations/station_detail.cfm?key=238 http://as0.mta.info/mnr/stations/station_detail.cfm?key=240 For those of you outside of the NYC Metropolitan area, let alone the USA, that segment of the New Haven Railroad between Grand Central Terminal and New Haven is now controlled by MTA's Metro-North Railroad. .gif ";)") |

The lovely New Haven EP5, nearly brand new when the movie came out. |

The EP5's were such handsome locomotives, real shamed none were preserved  |
