Regarding the visible part of your "single car" between "Purse Lady" and "Fedora Man" at the 1:47 mark in Weigman, why is its "lower" front part "two-tone" color-wise but the rear part monochrome, why does the "lower" front part have two parallel and nearly horizontal dark lines about two feet apart whereas the rear part doesn't, and why does the top edge of dark color of the front part taper off in the middle of your "single car" the way it does?

Shadows from the oak tree?

Shadows from the oak tree?

Yes, shadows from the Giant Live Oak tree. I think, but am not really sure I understand your description.  Look at the visual in post #5. See the image from Alyea. Look close at the “Getaway Car”. See those grayish smears all over the car? Those are shadows. Look at the Robert Hughes film where he shoots over the hood towards the TSBD doorway. The car is covered with shadow. What is a little strange about this Hughes frame is the color of the car is kinda a bluish-green. But so is Sawyers' car. Must be color response of the film in the shade. IDK.

Regarding the parallel, nearly horizontal and approximately two-feet-apart lines on the "lower-front part" of your "single car" (which aren't visible on the other part of your "single car"), just look at the frame in Wiegman at the (click-click) "1:47" mark where the tip of the fin on the car in front of Weigman's is touching the right foot of the woman "in white" standing about ten feet to "Fedora Man's" right, will ya?

How could shadows from an oak tree create those straight-and-parallel lines?
