There is a stock footage sequence every week, that shows the streetscape outside the "Harmony Dumpling Restaurant" in Chinatown. There a fake San Francisco cable car in that sequence. You also hear the brassy, insistent ding of a cable car bell, being rung twice. The fake cable car is clearly a two axle motorized vehicle running on four pneumatic rubber tires. The roadway is also missing the required steel tracks as used by a real San Francisco cable car.
San Francisco cable cars have a complicated undercarriage, and the car rides on a pair of four-wheel trucks with flanged iron wheels (no pneumatic rubber tires), designed for the cable car narrow gauge track of 3 ft 6 in (1.067 mm).
