...here's a very interesting trivia fact, culled from the IMDB "Topper" webpage...
"The fancy finned-back car driven by the Kerbys was custom built by the Bohman & Schwartz Co. using a 1936 Buick Roadmaster chassis. Originally, the producers had in mind using a coffin-nosed Cord, but it wasn't large enough. In the custom-made Buick, there were special compartments for camera equipment, etc. The appearance of the Buick resembles a Cord, but the supercharger pipes on the side were just decorations. After the filming of Topper (1937) the Buick was owned by the Gilmore Oil Company for many years and was used for promotional purposes. It was updated in 1954 with Chrysler Imperial chassis and drive train. The car used by Cosmo Topper is a 1936 Lincoln Model K."
