That always seemed bizarre to me, I wonder if if they did that because they felt that the speedometer of the '57 Fairlane was much easier for them to read and focus the camera on than the '57 Chevy speedometer.

From IMFDB. http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Dr._No#Browning_Hi-Power It's also beyond a shadow of a doubt a Bel Air. Quote Shame Jamaica no longer has taxis like this! It's a fleet vehicle, not a taxi, but yes, I wish they still did. -- Last edit: 2013-02-18 03:54:23
