The people cover key sections of the car such as headlamp/taillamp rims and front fender ornaments. I can say that in '62 there was no red white and blue emblem on the doors and I don't see one in the photo, but I also don't see the Gran Turismo nameplate either which was there all 3 years. The 62's also still had wide whitewall tires but I doubt the producers would have cared when filming. Since the banner in the background reads 1963, let's just stick with that year. -- Last edit: 2010-07-01 15:51:10
