Movie Brother Rat 1938
 

Here is a frame from the 1938 Movie Brother Rat. It is a very interesting car. What unusual things can you see? I made a video of the scene. It is only 20 seconds long. The quality is not that good.

It looks like an early body with 19" wheels and late bumper?

I think it's unusual to use a luxury car for a taxi.

Re: Movie Brother Rat 1938
 

it also has 30 wheels
watching period movies
i see lots of expensive town cars used as taxis in New York
Duesenbergs,Rolls Royces,etc
remember the movie "the Yellow Rolls Royce?

Paul's right, I never did either and evidently a lot of folks back then felt the same way. Ford had to shove those cars off on unwilling dealers to get rid of them they sold poorly.

they may have sold poorly but they have appreciated richly, would love to own a town car delivery. I guess we all have dreams.
