Double 1: used in a short scene where it swerves to avoid the Cadillac. Presumably filmed on location by a second unit, hence the usage of the Cadillac double as well. Double 2: used for a brief shot where it rolls over at first. Another shot which was probably done on location. Double 3: used in a long shot and for the final rollover where it explodes and burns. Note missing wipers, missing foglight, lopsided bumper, and pre-war details. Interesting to note is that it's RHD in the long shot but LHD in the rollover/explosion. Probably accomplished through the use of mirrored footage.
