Kooshmeister ◊ 2009-10-06 18:22	It actually looks like this for much longer than it does when painted. They get rid of it pretty much right after it's painted. Like only scene later they collide with Gonzo's Citroen and then go to the used car lot. It's brown for most of its screentime. -- Last edit: 2009-10-06 18:24:00

The main model difference was under the hood (Commanders were V-8's and Champions were 6's). Also, I believe the dashboards were different.
