Then that ties together. The cabbie must have been wrong when he said it was white.

Looking at the roof of the car in that photo, it looks to be partially covered with white crud, as if the car was normally parked outside and was never washed after a long winter with road salt and grime. Or maybe it's just peeling paint. Perhaps the top of the trunk has the same white crud/chipped paint, which the cabbie saw when he pulled up from behind.
