Of course with that one they skipped the step of making it presentable.

Of course—it was Columbo’s car; it was supposed to look scruffy!

Which is why in movies set in the 50’s and 60’s, often every single car looks like somebody’s lovingly-restored pampered garage pet

One of my biggest pet peeves. Totally takes me out of the movie. Not to mention that IRL, any 50s or 60s street would’ve had a smattering of models from the previous decade.
