The license plate is "F-73" , but in some scenes it is "F-14". After a car chase, it was severely damaged and fell into a lake, where it sank. Hayao Miyazaki owns a car of the same model. Also, prior to this film, a regular and a van-type 2CV appeared in episode 23 of the "TV Series 1" as delivery vehicles for "Darumaya Bento" (a bento box shop). Autoweek wrote Miyazaki bought his first 2CV as a university student in the early 1960s. It was a right-hand-drive model, imported from the U.K. and painted bright yellow. At the time, he was studying economics, but upon graduation, he moved into animation. He began at Tōei studios as a junior animator, where he met his longtime business partner and collaborator Takahata Isao.
