The Black Beauty.
First, I'm a little surprised that no one has discussed the car at all. It's been said in many sources that the car was a Chrysler New Yorker. Mr. Reid's white convertible was just that.
But the Black Beauty was clearly an Imperial--not a New Yorker. They can make the New Yorker claim 'til they're blue in the face...It's an Imperial. I owned one and the lines are distinctive.
I watch alotta TV...but that doesn't mean I don't have a job.
