Thanks!
Wow - I thought there would be at least one guess by now.
First guess: American, not production ::)
It was a production car, modified to resemble another production car.
But that is just part of the puzzle...
Any acquaintance with a 1942 Buick?
Yep - there's quite a bit of Buick in there...
A move car?
Movie, I meant
If not film, television?
Correct!
American television I guess, which doesn't make it easy for me. At your knowledge, is it a program famous enough to have made it across the Atlantic?
I'm not sure if the show made it overseas, but I know that you know its star, who had a long movie career as well.
This car would not be out of place in one of your current group puzzles.

You mean like the bullet-nose Studebaker disquised as a Tucker in the eponym film?
I suppose so, as it's one well-known car pretending to be another. However, I had another of your group puzzles in mind.
You mean "Longhorn Cars" maybe.
Indeed..
Could it have belonged to Chill Wills?
I didn't find no proof. But Chill Wills plays the part of Jim Ed Love in "The Rounders" (both the film and the TV series), the kind of character who would drive a "longhorn car". I found pictures of Wills, in real life, with his own longhorn car (maybe a Nudie, I didn't check).
Nope, not him.
I don't want to try them one after another, but, sticking to the modern times western: Roy Rogers?
Yes!
Locked for you for 24 hours.
Unbelievable! I rather wrote Rogers to eliminate him.
I haven't seen the show but I remember that he used a Jeep called Nellybelle (here with pal Pat Brady at the wheel), but i had heard of no Rolls-Royce.
So, Roy's 1942 Buick Roadmaster (eh, I'd seen right!) was disquised as a Rolls-Royce who appeared on his show.
I saw no evidence that the Buick was Rogers' own car, but I found the pictures.
Nice job! ;D
Did I miss something?
How did Ray manage to climb to 387 points? ;)
Group puzzles pay good money.
Yes that's true..ordinary puzzles won't pay the rent
More pics of this dilapidated car. The search for period pics from the show continues
