There is a commercial for a casino playing locally that shows the fun-loving
couple rolling up to the door in their white RBB. It appears 2 or 3 times in
the spot.
It struck me as an unusual choice, in that it is not particularly glamorous
(at least, not in white, which accentuates the bulbous protruberances), nor
very "vintage"-looking, and that contemporary convertible sports cars are no
longer difficult to find -- they could take their pick of Miata, Z4, S2000,
MR2, Solstice, etc. It was probably available cheap <g>.
