This one is different than the original picture. It has to be an SE because there is no chrome trim on the rear bumper, the mirrors are body-colored (Limited trim had chrome ones), and the rim style. The one in the original picture clearly had "Limited" on the trunk lid, but it can't be. Or, they used two different cars. Frankly, this is kind of difficult to explain. No Limited ever looked like that.

They probably just used two different cars.

Could they have put a Limited badge on the SE? Because the picture of the back makes it look like there isn't any chrome trim on the back of the "Limited" one either. Chrome trim on the front and rear bumpers was standard on SEL and Limited models. And nothing bad happens to this car, does it?

If you look at the LIMITED letters, they're crooked, which is odd. Maybe the trunk was a replacement of some sort? And no, nothing happens to the car on-screen.

There is chrome on all Five Hundred trims not just limited. If you look close to the front bumper the chrome was painted black. There rear bumper does not even have the chrome stripe at all. That is because the car is actually a 2008 Ford Taurus. When they refreshed the Five Hundred in 2008 they changed the name to Taurus because it had better brand recognition. The dead giveaway that it is a Taurus is when he opens the door the door panel is two tone. They did not start the two tone till 2008. I don't know why they took the fenders, hood, bumper, headlights and trunk off a Five Hundred and put it on a Taurus. I guess the director just liked the car. I noticed the changes right away because I happen to own a Five Hundred Limited.

You're right, the mirrors are a dead giveaway. How strange. I prefer the Five Hundred myself (I own one), but to totally tear apart a Taurus and turn it into a Five Hundred is very odd, especially when Five Hundreds are still so readily (and now cheaply) available.
