Yvon52 ◊ 2006-12-03 01:27	Bravo "Fintail"
Yvon52 ◊ 2006-12-03 01:30	Est-ce la même? Comme c'est un modèle rarissime, ce serait celle du film qui a survecu!!!
wickey ◊ 2006-12-03 14:35	yes, we could call it dual cowl phaeton I believe. (here but without the second windshield..)
Londogno ◊ 2019-09-22 01:23	Isn't this the same 1933 Castagna Sports Tourer Chassis 1664 featured in all the other films?
