Something from Studebaker? Due the (probably product placement) sticker of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STP_%28motor_oil_company%29 on the frontscreen. Otherwise it was taped on many other cars, too:

...where very often the owners never knew, what STP was (at it was here for sure :D )

Today a sticker or a badge is a must for classic car-freaks, because it looks so 60ies (though in Europe you cannot buy any products of this company). To compare with http://www.holden.co.uk/displayProduct.asp?pCode=052.140/3XL Soem years ago this jacket appeared on classic car events. It was so ridicoulous on a Techno Classica back then (we had a club-presentation there), when suddenly dozens of visitors swaggered around with them. :lol:

Was there a foreign assembly? This movie was filmed in Turkey.

How did you recognize it by the Dodge Dart ? By the O barely appearing on the thumb ?
