Scene at 1:12:28: https://ok.ru/video/1289719122655 There is even a very good (but also very dark) closeup of the hood ornament. Of the four, it looks like a 1940 Buick the most, but still not quite right.

I found a 41 Buick in the film "Ubiystve na ulitse Dante" from 1956, also by Mosfilm. I can't tell which body style it is but I think this might be the same car? Scene from 15:16 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHug8mK1zlo The company even still has a 41 Buick out for rent (that they mistakenly call a 40) which might be this car that was chopped sometime in 70 years?
