Just received Netflix compilation DVD of old TV crime show. Was especially interested in the "Boston Blackie" segments as I had not seen them since we got our first TV set in the late 40s. What the hell is he driving? If I had to guess, I would say a customized Frazier sports car/roadster (?). It has odd bodywork. A protruding nose on the hood, and a central tail fin on the truck lid. It is also painted all black. Curious if anyone knows the history of this car?
