I notice that ‘Egleston Diner’ has been changed to ‘Luncheonette’ in the painting. ‘America’s Largest Selling Cigar’ remains, but ‘Phillies’ has been changed to ‘Te-Amo’ — Also, it looks to be quite a different kind of car that has been painted.
The film is is based on the Brink's robbery of 1950 in Boston.
Phillies — Phillies is a brand of cigar in the United States. They were originally made in Philadelphia. Interestingly a Phillies cigar sign feature in Edward Hopper’s 1942 painting Nighthawks —
Te-Amo cigars were first introduced by the Turrent family. The brand has grown to represent quality and tradition in the cigar world, with a focus on hand-rolled cigars using Mexican tobacco. Founded in 1880.
