No. The Maybelline car is not the same car. There is a rear shot of the Maybelline car, and it has a built-in trunk... not to mention the difference in front fenders (no sidemounts).
While the auction description states that it had twin rear-mounted spares, it clearly only had one. When Chris Charleton restored the car that was just sold, there was absolutely no indication of any body work done to conceal a trunk that once may have been attached. Attach file:  (24.75 KB)

Since we are fairly certain that the car in the OP had chrome hood doors and belt molding when new, I would say the photo in Olympian Cars is of the third car.

Well, from those pictures the plated belt molding cars clearly weren't striped. But the painted ones were. Still for my money I'd put a stripe on it. I think it would have looked fantastic.
Of course if the prices of these cars start falling as fast as the stock market I might be able to buy it and fix it. I'll tell you right now I have less than 5% in stocks. So if everything crashes, so what?

I'm not so sure that is striping. I see something bright on a portion of the lip of the front fender and nothing on the rest of the fender's wheel cutout or along the front fender edge. I suspect the "stripe" is just a reflection of the sunlight bouncing off that dazzling chromed wheel and the wide whitewall tire.

AGREE nothing on the fender. Blowing up the photo on my screen shows 2 single strips on the polished belt line.

Wow, that was one frequently-photographed car in it's youth!
