Reg1992 ◊ 2017-09-18 13:50	Apparently had a broken axle.
Commander 57 ◊ 2017-09-18 14:56	Well, I've learned over the years not to trust what Hollywood says about antique cars any more than I trust them to respect and take care of them. The subject car plainly has the Studebaker nameplate on the rear. (Avanti II's had the Avanti name at this location.) However, the stylizesd "S" ornament is missing from the sail panel.
