Otherwise: it's a Brazilian VW. There were many differences to the German original. Or annother possibility: unoriginal changes and restorations during the past 40 years. The movie is from 2006.

In the other picture I got this impression very surely. Therefore the car is total original to sixties, because such accessory was sold at the time being. Brazilian VW Sedans were produced till the nineties and retained the windows as German VW pre-64 were. -- Last edit: 2011-01-25 13:11:45
