Gamer ◊ 2017-03-14 16:54	However, the American Charron was hellishly expensive (at the time it was the most expensive car in the US!!) only built for two years and not even in this body style (it was only offered as a four seat tonneau, despite this advert: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1e/Ccv-auto_1906-1204.jpg ) I don't even think any of them have survived to this day. As filmed in the US, it's probably not a Renault as European Edwardian cars are rarely imported unless it's for a movie set in England or someplace. With a flat hood like this plus US filming location I think it is a Franklin. This would also match as they were very expensive, which is what this looks like. -- Last edit: 2017-03-14 21:29:03

I am convinced that it's a Renault or at least closely related to French automobiles. Absolut no Franklin! The film is in television here right now! -- Last edit: 2020-06-07 19:30:54

Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2022-11-08 19:20	You can see fire escape ladders in front of the windows, so this is probably a real US location, most likely in New York. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082970/locations
