The roofline is all wrong...

#1, With George Barris's signature on the hood, you expected the real thing?

Some research finds that this replica was built by 'a picture car company'. Barris owns or has owned an Ecto-1 replica built by Peter Mosen, but his seems to be from a different coachbuilder than this (a Eureka). I saw it at Volo Auto Museum, which had Barris's name scrawled in Sharpie on the hoods of damn near every "star car" in the place whether he had anything to do with their construction or not. This seems to be epidemic with him.
This is, however, the same car that was used in the 1967 Sidney Poitier film "In the Heat of the Night".

I knew this was a Eureka the second I saw it. They had very distinctive (not to mention quite attractive - especially on landau hearses) rooflines.
