Roadmasters and Centurys are identified by 4 "port holes", but Century is smaller. (If I remember the movie correctly, this was a Roadmaster which was stolen on the run from an elderly couple....)

Classic car fans and owners are used to do that. In fact it's even better driving and handling, because due the many electronic and hydraulic stuff in modern cars you loose the feeling for car and road.
