*/ 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. /*

Good shot of the car at around 11:37 into it.
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.
