I just watched the entire
episode and can offer the following. Yes, it is definitely a 1956 NYer
T&C, so I stand corrected that they did not use any thing prior to
1957. The T&C has the "A" pillar and upper stainless blacked
out. This was done to the rear of the second door on the driver's side,
but only done on the passenger side to the rear of the front door. I
thought I saw one scene where the same treatment was done to the stainless in
the middle of the door. My guess is this was to cut glare when
filming. Most scenes back then and probably today are shot with the
windows down for the same reason I suspect.
The arm rest
of the driver's door on the '56 T&C appears to be removed to accommodate
the gun.
There is a '56 Chrysler two
door hardtop that is referred to more than once in this show as a "two door
hardtop convertible". Also I spotted what I think is a 1954 Chrysler
sedan, a VW and about a '54 Pontiac along with the '57
Plymouth.

Nice thing to watch during my lunch...

Boy did I just do good. found an episode to watch
which starts with the
door opening and the gun fastened to the
door. Swear it is a 55 Chrysler
door but may be 56. Not sure
of the upholstery. didn't watch past the
intro but apparently my
memory isn't totally shot--just mostly.
now back to work trying to
find box of 55 hood ornaments which I have
stashed somewhere.
