car. I
think I've seen them on other vehicles, but don't know their origin.

I concur with all of Steve's comments, the only addition I can make regards
the wheels. If memory serves me (I've only seen Bill's car a couple of dozen
times...), the car is fitted with Cosmic road wheels. These were very popular
in the '60s, finding there way onto a number of British cars, particularly
Triumph Spitfires and GT6s. They were sold in the U.S. through companies like
MG Mitten and Vilem Haan.
