chicomarx ◊ 2017-03-25 03:44	It's the best capture available, also happens to be of the right candidate. By 1944 this 1935 slogan had become a joke, which is what the movie intends to convey here. Although his only aim was to preserve peace of course.

Sunbar ◊ 2017-03-26 18:48	Agreed, for what is seen. The cab to me looks to be a mixture well crafted bits (doors and roof) plus a front windscreen that is very dodgy. No door hinges to be seen plus the rear to me suggests it is a low-built saloon based van. It could also just be a temporary movie buck used only in a studio.
