You are spot on there Malcolm but it is very much British, and car which appears to be the bringer of much jollity to its owners.

Don't want to make it too obvious so forgive my "lateral" clues

Maybe what cowboys put their colt 45's in may help you make the link together with the other clue...

I was going to post up these from the film to assist
