Here are two pictures I have of the Miss Daisy car. One taken outside and another flash taken in the garage. My convertible was parked to her left.

I agree the lower fender extension paint treatment is incorrect. Whitewall width isn't correct either. I see it has add on turn signals. Still a nice car.

I heard that there was a Mannequin (SP) in the back seat that sold for $600.00 ++

Mr. Bell did have a 2-dimensional full size cutout, which he often showed with the car; I think it showed both Ms. Tandy and Mr. Freeman. Not surprised it brought serious money. Doc, the engine was in good shape . . . ran quietly and with good power.
