I believe it‘s mine, imported mid 80‘s to Switzerland from California.
Do we know the VIN.

The VIN can be found at the firewall inside the engine bay.

Thanks, I know where my VIN is placed, thanks.
My question is, do we know the VIN of the car that was used on the set?

Klint, you‘re sure? I believe it might stay in Switzerland? How can you prove it? Thanks

Interesting! But the one in the movie did not have orange Turn signal in front?
Did it really had a continental kit in the movie?

Lots of things could have been changed in those 50 years since the movie was made! I haven't read the article though so I don't know how they have verified the provenance.

What about that trim on the trunk lid on the Swedish car? I have seen some '57's with it but most without, was it some option?

I don‘t know about this trim, but found this BelAir with the trim, also cruising around in Switzerland!

What happened to the car after a year if not after around 7 months?
