Stuttgarter Posted December 15, 2018 Author Share Posted December 15, 2018 In one interview I just found online, Werner Herzog refers to the car as a 1949 Buick. Is that possible, too, or was he maybe remembering wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drwatson Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 (edited) There are similarities between 47, 48 & 49 but the 1949 has distinctly different front end details. Here's a photo of a 1949.

Stuttgarter Posted December 15, 2018 Author Share Posted December 15, 2018 Got it! I guess when remembering someone else's car from almost 20 years ago, being off by a year or two isn't too bad! Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
