the vehicle on the left (wood and gold). also...what is it classified as (car, van, etc)? |
◊ 2006-11-11 23:41 |
It is hard to see the rear actually... it seems to have side windows, so sedan I guess |

1922 Renault Kellner Town Car? An example is shown here http://flickr.com/photos/firesign/75468178/ edit... Just noticed the other Renault listed so which applies I'm not sure? This is according to a listing at http://www.roadtripamerica.com/wheels/autocol.htm Supposedly also the car used for the back seat romantic rendezvous in the hold so three stars I would say. -- Last edit: 2006-11-12 12:49:20 |

Would they make such a bold mistake on a 200 M$ movie? |
◊ 2006-11-12 13:12 |
Ce n'est pas un modèle 1922 = raison en 1922 les phares et décoration sont nickelés Ici dans le film, il s'agit d'une voiture d'avant 1916 Note: remarque faite pour la Renault. Commentaire = voir sous photo de la Renault -- Last edit: 2006-11-12 14:10:57 |

Why do you all mention that Renault in the middle? First comment was: I guess that the Renault is that one: /vehicle_3384.html it would maybe be interesting to add to comments of that page the main picture of this one. justement, elle en a une de plus... sur sa page C'est corrigé patron |

This comment refers to the background car on the left (wood and brass era). I would say 1910-1912 (no way is it from 1922 ...the Titanic sank on April 15, 1912). The term "sedan" ("saloon" in Britain) probably had not come into use in 1912. In addition, closed cars were rare prior to 1910. Common body styles of that era include,touring cars, roadsters, phaetons, coupes, berlines (later to become the sedan), and much rarer limousines, and limousine-landaulets. The limousine (open-front or entirely closed) was the most expensive body style that one could order from any auto manufacturer. The car illustrated is is an open-front limousine; I would not hazard a guess at the make of this car since they all looked very much the same in that era. I don't think it's an UNIC, Yvon; the latter had a rounded radiator shroud; this one is angular, like the Cadillac limousines of 1910-1912. BTW, it is most unusual for anyone but the driver/chauffeur to ride in front (like the gent in the bowler hat!) I guess the movie-makers wanted him to be more "visible" in this scene. |

The man with the bowler hat (played by David Warner) is the valet to the owner of the car, Caledon Hockley (Billy Zane) so he's still a servant. If only the chauffuer was supposed to ride up front (outside of the cabin) why would the seat be able to sit two? -- Last edit: 2006-11-12 15:59:39 |

I've just known something: according to the script, the limo is a Daimler-Benz. |
◊ 2013-04-05 02:15 |
What's in the script doesn't always make it to the finished film. |
◊ 2013-04-07 05:57 |
Just like what's in the book doesn't make it into a film that's based on a book. |

Seems to have the same HL 2210 plate (issued some time between Apr 1915 to Jan 1929!!) as /vehicle_633422.html . |

Looks like a c.1912 four-cylinder Peerless. A Model 24 Town Car, I think. |

Why do I get the feeling it actually just said "Daimler" (like the British make) and you misinterpreted it as D-B?... |

Daimler-Benz was formed in 1926 by a merger of the Daimler and Benz Companies. Does that look like a 1926+ car to you? |
