Just watched an old Burns and Allen show. During a scene Gracie, Blanche and Harry von Zell were riding in the back seat of a taxi having a conversation. Following close behind the taxi was a 53 or 54. Think it was a Clipper because the grill looked plain but didn't see the back well enough to be sure. It was in the scene for about a minute. A few minutes later during a different conversation, they showed the exact same car following again. Must have been a movie projection of a freeway scene viewed thru the rear window with the actors in a stationary car set. The Packard moved in exactly the same way when changing lanes and the same car was in an adjacent lane. The Packard was doing itself proud.
