Orson Welles gave this car to Rita Hayworth for her  24th birthday and she hung on to it for around three decades. Eventually, she gifted it to her secretary, Frita Wolfe.

These two are don't look to be the same to me: Window treatments are different, the green model sports a radio antenna.

 It was being sold with no reserve at Worldwide Auctioneers’ The Enthusiast Auction in Auburn, Indiana, on Saturday 23 April 2022.

Couldn't find results on line. If you see them, please post.

The green car looks to have had an emblem added to the cowl since Miss Hayworth's time.

I see the antenna on the black and white photo. I also see that the windows match when looking very close at them. The only difference I see is the added emblem.

When you zoom in on the original it's hard to tell if the emblem is there, however, there is something in the same area be it a reflection in the paint or maybe a retouch by the original photographer?

I looked closely at that too 3macboys before I posted.  My computer has a 48 inch big screen so I can really zoom in on things like this.  That truly appears to be part of the same reflection that shows all along the front fender, cowl, door and quarter panel, although I have no explanation for why that emblem should not be on the car in that picture.

There is a possibility that some changes could have been made over the years. but it's the same car.      Example:

More period pictures.

This shows the proper emblem in the proper place in 1941 in Georgia and a left front mounted antenna.

The bumpers were donated to the WWII scrap metal drive. California, 1942.

Again, no bumpers
