Troop Car? A different make from other images.

*Use of the term "Troop Car" is probably a more modern phrase, if one considers the 1960's modern!
This Troop Car image with your know who driving, appears to be the same as Image 8, although the hood ornament seems different.
Again, an appeal is made to the old car experts - please.
