You can also make out the outline of the fourth porthole, temporarily removed here. Why they went through the trouble of giving this car the appearance of a lesser model is anyone's guess.
Commander 57 ◊ 2021-05-03 20:35	That is strange - trying to disguise a Roadmaster as a Super. What could have been their thought process, I wonder?
Lateef ◊ 2021-05-03 20:44	Indeed, usually it would be the other way around.
Lateef ◊ 2021-05-04 17:27	Come to think of it, it may have been done in order to make it look like the car filmed on location in New York (the scene in the mainpic was shot at the studio), as that one does appear to be a Super. Now, how many contemporary viewers actually paid attention to that, is probably not many.
