The director of "Vertigo", Alfred Hitchcock, used much green when associating with the female character who drove this car (sometimes green clothes, green lighting etc). The film was shot in Technicolor so Hitchcock probably had this car re-sprayed in a shade of green that photographed well, and was to his liking.
