"Couple driving along corniche in sports car" - the car is a model by Berkeley (I can't be sure exactly which one).
However this information does help reduce the clip's current date range, as the Berkeley car company wasn't formed until 1956. I think a new date range of 1956-59 is therefore sensible.
