Buck Henry does not know cars edit

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mr._Big_(Get_Smart)&oldid=502175689 The car was a Sunbeam Tiger, not a Ferrari, as noted by Buck Henry and also Mel Brooks

I don't care what Buck Henry remembers after 40 years, the car is a Ferrari 250. If the DVD commentary says different, I suggest this would show the DVD commentary is not a reliable source. Kid Bugs (talk) 00:19, 27 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

I do not have time or desire to get into a pissing contest over this. I would not consider Buck Henry or Mel Brooks to be authorities on cars. Here is linkage to screenshots of the car in the pilot episode https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Get_Smart_Ferraei_250-1.png and https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Get_Smart_Ferrari_250-2.png, compare it to the Sunbeam Tiger at https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/fe/Sunbeam_Tiger_in_Yountville_2013.jpg and the Ferrari 250 at https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9c/Ferrari_250_PF_cabrio_SII_front_left.jpg. Note the rear bumper extends along the side of the rear fender, the position of the logo behind the front wheel, and the presence of the hood scoop on the Ferrari and the vehicle in the screenshot.
