If I'm being an over-acheiver let me know. 
Anyhoo, Invisible Agent is one of those films made during World War II pitting popular film characters against the Axis powers. In this case, a descendent of the original Invisible Man, Frank Raymond, uses Jack Griffin's invisibility potion to go undercover in Germany.
Unfortunately, although the German uniforms are mostly well done, it doesn't appear as though Universal used a single German vehicle in the entire picture. It appears to be mostly American and/or British cars with Swastikas slapped on them. It's pretty pathetic. So take my descriptions with a grain of salt.
"Nazi" staff car which appears to be a Cadillac of some sort. Several are used throughout by the two main Nazi heavies. 4 stars.
Taxi used by a contact of Frank's. Peugeot 302. 2 stars.
Convertible used by some of the Nazis. 3 stars.
Funky-looking six-wheeled jeep-like vehicle. 2 stars.
Troop carrier that is stolen by Frank and the obligatory love interest. This is one odd-looking truck; it appears to be some other kind of truck with fake parts put on to make it look more "German," the only attempt in the movie to do so, oddly enough. 3 stars.
Hearse used by the Japanese agents. 2 stars.
Fire truck used in one scene. 2 stars.
