THE GREAT GATSBY 1926 MINIATURE ROLLS ROYCE ALL HAND CARVED WOOD ELVIS!

After years of research, I finally have Evidence of what this is. I have come to the conclusion that it is the Screen Used Miniature Rolls Royce Roadster from the Original 1926 Film, which is unfortunately now lost but This is incredibly cool!

THE FACTS!
1] This is 100 year old Movie Tech. The craftsmanship is off the charts. This is all hand carved wood with some metal used in the wheels, windshield frame, Steering Wheel, door handle, axles, etc. Truly a museum caliber piece! The headlights do have lenses. I do not see any wiring but it sure does look like there may be sockets in there?
2] There is no doubt that this is a Film Prop! There is a Hero side with the door handle and detailed wheels. The other side is more plain. Rolls and steers but not linked to the steering wheel.
3] This is definitely "THE GREAT GATSBY Car" and there is nothing else it can be. I have failed to match it with the 1949 and 1974 films. With all other suspects exhausted?


I can't prove any of this, and the Holy grail shots have proven illusive but I believe this is seen in the parking garage shot with King Kong, then promotion for the Elvis film which was a huge hit in 1966!
I have attached a photo of this on one of the posters and one of the theater cards.

This is a TV show that features this car but origin had been lost at that point.
