It's odd. Raymond, and John Prentice after him, put a lot of effort into drawing real-world props. After the meticulous rendering of Rip's Mercedes Benz 300SL it's odd to see such a faked-up station wagon later in the story. It looks almost like someone else drew it (assistant maybe?).

Rip Kirby was reprinted in the Daily Mail in the UK. How many knew it led to a rumpus in Parliament:

This reminded me that the Mail also ran Carol Day at about the same time as Rip - Carol is a long-forgotten but actually quite decent strip about (gulp) relationships - beautifully drawn:
