Some closer pics of this item from the Ray Paszkiewics, Jr auction. The last pic provides details on the actual car and the model. Max Kernick has a steady hand - all that pinstriping was done manually.

I thought that was what it was! Haven't heard that term for an umbrella in years!

Well, that beats me. I've never heard this term..... but yes Harv, I do see that umbrella.ย  I suspect that if this little charmer had doors, it would've been re-located.ย  ๐Ÿ˜€ย

How about the term "brolley"?

Absolutely. British in origin I believe. I hear that on TV but haven't heard bumbershoot since I was a kid - MANY moons ago.
