a giant of a man who sat tall in the saddle.....

Cool. It's the two-tone and what might be a landau roof that really sets it apart.

Once Mike determined the make and model I looked at quite a few photos and read a little history on it, and nowhere did I see mention of a landau roof. Some did have that paint scheme though, and I think the faded/oxidized/matte paint gives the impression of a landau roof.

The caption reads that this photo has been “colourized”. That’s the word they used.

So I made it original. Either way this was a fine babe!
