This is the car shown in the movie “Topper” (1937) with Cary Grant and Constance Bennett. It had a single fin on the back deck. It was a modified 1936 Buick customized by Bohman & Schwartz and fitted with special controls, including a second hidden steering wheel. As a stuntman drove the car using the hidden wheel, it would appear as if the vehicle was being driven by a ghost. The car has been remodeled a few times since 1937.

Tatraplan in the fifties at the Benzina filling station

The nineteenthirties. Then a FANTO filling station.  Note “PRIJEZD” sign as the entrance sign seemed confusing, including for the confused British tourist, who must have been familiar with the  Czechoslovak left-hand traffic rules.

It even appeared in adverts

Tatra T75 on the right.  But, somehow, I have the feeling that this photo is photoshopped.
