After several researches without any result, I think it's a "made/modified for movie" car. The characters mention a few details about the car: It consumes 25 liters/100 km and is equipped with 6 cylinder engine. It also has a white body color and morocco red seats ("marocchino rosso"). -- Last edit: 2011-01-26 17:19:29 |

The front clip could be based on Packard 51-53 but the body work looks different |

In the movie white convertible was main lottery prize. ![]() Allemano's FIATs had similar (not same!) front. |

The car can be seen here in a garage with a "Tassi & Rivoli" sign in the background. Both are names of italian coachbuilders, or it's just a name coincidence. /vehicle_304625.html |

Thanks @kegare for the hint. Tassi & Rivoli was a car dealer at piazza Fiume in Rome. But I dont'know if he was also a coachbuilder. -- Last edit: 2010-05-26 10:28:41 |

I don't think at all it was. It has never been mentioned as a coachbuilder in any good book, for instance "Milleruote" of the mid 70's which was really a bible for me...nor by other sources. |

Tassi was the name of a designer or coachbuilder (?) for Lancia and Fiat, and the name "Rivoli" was associated with some Corre La Licorne cars. But this probably does not mean anything, it was just a parenthesis. |

Something based on the SIMCA 8? |

Perhaps another hint :the sloping hood line and grille design are exactly identical to Bertone's design of the first Fiat 1100 Berlinetta Stanguellini roadcar issued in 1948 .This fastback berlinetta had a much shorter track and wheelbase than this convertible that appears to have very long almost disproportionate ones for a convertible.So , could it be a one off Bertone / Nuccio design on a long Fiat or Lancia base made or not for the movie ? Perhaps the dashboard design could help . So far I checked , it is not an Alfa Romeo 2500 dash. |

Indeed very similar front as pilou says: Bertone Stanguellini: Link to "www.prova.de" http://images.forum-auto.com/mesimages/583791/scannarTop.jpg1..jpg -- Last edit: 2010-06-01 23:24:16 |

I suggest to look again the photo of the 1950 Cadillac. This white car has very similar dimmensions to the Cadillac. |

Wheelbase is much too long to be a Simca... |
|
◊ 2011-06-23 22:46 |
I'm quite sure that's a Bertone coachwork, and a Simca nose but, you're right, i didn't notice the huge wheelbase.... |

Seems that the solution is found in Autopuzzles.com http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=17647.0 "Al Circuito del Monrenero, disputato a fine agosto a Livorno, esordì, con al volante Enrico Nardi, anche la 8 cilindri 1500. Questa vettura, anche se reclamizzata solo sol secondo numero di "Interauto" del 1948, venne trasformata in un lussuoso cabriolet a quattro posti con carrozzeria Bertone per Marco Fabio Crespi, detto Rudy, e dal nome del proprietario derivò la denominazione di Nardi-Danese Marco." |
