The car being taken for a test drive at the beginning of the film is a 1955 Mercedes-Benz 190SL convertible. MSRP was around $4,000 ($36,700 in 2017). In excellent condition, at auction in 2017 these cars can fetch well over $100,000.
Though Marilee Earle (best known for The Fearmakers (1958) opposite Dana Andrews) is uncredited alongside an actor whose character has the same last name, neither appear in the film at all, and here's why: 30 minutes in, when Nick (John Bromfield) talks to his single secretary about marriage, giving her a few tips, he tells her, "Okay, back to the newlyweds," who he had obviously been selling: but right as he walks outside, and before we see the husband or wife, the scene fades to black.
It turns out that, while Marilee Earle's scene was mostly cut from the movie (a newlywed couple being sold a car), there is a wide (establishing) shot of her and her husband: Only a true fan can make out it's her, but she is in the movie for about two seconds, from far away.
Marilee Earle's debut.
"Det. Davenport: There's a real cozy hot car racket working the state. Sooner or later, somebody's gonna get their neck barbecued."
"Nick Dunn: [referring to Karen Winter] What a hunk of stuff. Built like a hardtop convertible."
