Below is the actual car before they modified it. I got that from an interesting site I have used before, if you want to see where your model car has been in movies. http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_131727-Bentley-Made-for-Movie-AB3363-1924.html Being pedantic, but a 4.5l Bentley and I was thinking what a shame to destroy such a great car - but this one has led quite a life... purchased after the movie and restored to this http://www.vintagebentleys.org/carpages/pdfs/xv634.pdf That picture above is a really 'modern' looking version (not doubting it is 1928) but the low, big slab side etc is a precedessor of the 30's look. Looking at google images of Bentleys of the time, I still reckon they found some french lights at a swap meet to put on there! Explains the exhaust too. And interesting example with the 1931 hotchkiss photo if you look at the rounded lip and heavier look to the guard edge, which became common from late 20's and the thinner edges like on the movie car was earlier in the 20's generally
