This is at least the second Topolino I see in USA in a film. I remember another in "Quella carogna dell'ispettore Sterling".

Many of the early hotrods in the 50's were junk yard 500's with the 4 cylinder's replaced by American V-8's. You can still buy fiberglass replica' for hot rodding as the original supply has long run out. Plus the car serves as comic relief as it was only a 2 seater, fitting four people in a car built for two.
