It was a right hand drive (steering wheel on the right side of the car) British car, I think.When I clicked on the movie, the movie had already started.I saw Fred MacMurray and Eleanor Parker sitting in the car.The car was being towed by a truck.I think it might have been a Jaguar car. cuhulin

The "Flying WOmbat" was in some movie called "Miss Demeanor" or something like that. (Not really, but it works like that). I can't remember the actor's names, but I sure do remember the car!

Nope. Woulda known a Jag.

It was similar, more boxy and perhaps a bit bigger.

That is sort of what I was thinking too.Similar to a Jaguar, but larger and a little different looking. I couldn't find that car listed at Internet Movie Cars Database. cuhulin

Maybe it was a Lagonda car? They had similar grills. cuhulin

Ya know, back then they had custom 'coachbuilders' that would take a rolling chassis and make a body for it, so it may have been a one-off.

Remember the movie "Topper"? What was THAT?!?!

On the web, Lagonda cars boat tail cars

There were quite a few boat tail cars way back then.Lagonda was founded in England by an American, Wilbur Gunn.In 1935 W. O. Bentley joined Lagonda. cuhulin
