The emblem on the hood at the point where it meets the grille would say B U I C K ][ E I G H T (the ][ represents the center trim piece) Take a look at this. I've talked to the property master for Lassie and The Lone Ranger, and others, a while back. I believe the filmmakers would have used any available make. It's more likely that they would find an inexpensive model for the kinds of rigors here (movie cars, BTW usually have modern powertrains for reliability, unless the engine needs to be authentic for the film).
