Copyright infringement? Seems unlikely for a 40-year-old car made by a =
company that no longer exists.

Normally, I would guess that they just sent out a casting call for a =
cute roadster, and some enthusiastic owner offered up their dubiously =
modified example. But in this case it looks like the =E2=80=9Cmods=E2=80=9D=
 were made in CGI, so it had to be the producers that wanted to disguise =
the car. Also, I find it hard to believe that anyone would or could =
alter the rear wheel arch in that manner =E2=80=94 I don't think you =
could get the wheel off.
