Title: Re: [FWDLK] ****COULD BE SPAM**** Re: [FWDLK] Re. Car Kulture
I just watched the entire episode and can offer the following.  Yes, it is definitely a 1956 NYer T&C, so I stand corrected that they did not use any thing prior to 1957.  The T&C has the "A" pillar and upper stainless blacked out.  This was done to the rear of the second door on the driver's side, but only done on the passenger side to the rear of the front door.  I thought I saw one scene where the same treatment was done to the stainless in the middle of the door.  My guess is this was to cut glare when filming.  Most scenes back then and probably today are shot with the windows down for the same reason I suspect.  The arm rest of the driver's door on the '56 T&C appears to be removed to accommodate the gun.
 
There is a '56 Chrysler two door hardtop that is referred to more than once in this show as a "two door hardtop convertible".  Also I spotted what I think is a 1954 Chrysler sedan, a VW and about a '54 Pontiac along with the '57 Plymouth.

Nice thing to watch during my lunch... =)

Boy did I just do good.  found an episode to watch which starts with the
door opening and the gun fastened to the door.  Swear it is a 55 Chrysler
door but may be 56.  Not sure of the upholstery.  didn't watch past the
intro but apparently my memory isn't totally shot--just mostly.

now back to work trying to find box of 55 hood ornaments which I have
stashed somewhere.
