Back when I was young and stupid (now I'm just stupid) antp submitted this movie on my behalf. I was never happy with it, so I checked it again the other day. It's still the most vehicularly confusing movie I've ever seen. I added a few more vehicles that may or may not be duplicates of the already listed ones. Here's what I can make out:

1. /vehicle_1836732.html is the first car we see, taking the leading dame from some fancy dance or something.
2. /vehicle_1836733.html has the leading dame as the passenger again, 40 minutes later. Unlike /vehicle_1836732.html it doesn't seem to have an ornament on the radiator.
3. At just over one hour into the movie our hero seems to enter /vehicle_1836734.html (Roma 16721). The car, or at least the plate, is never seen again.
4. Our hero connects with some local reporter who is a few minutes later seen entering /vehicle_1744604.html (specificially, the car in the thumbnail, number on plate seems to be 387154) with another man.
5. A few minutes later we see /vehicle_1836735.html (Roma 17835 or so). Our hero is driving, the reporter and the other man from /vehicle_1744604.html are passengers. Our hero is shown removing some sort of a key from some switch on the car's dashboard.
6. Immediately after the shot of our hero removing that key, what appears to be /vehicle_1744604.html (plate looks like Roma 387154) is shown coming to a standstill outside an inn. Our hero alights and opens the hood, the reporter and the other man also alight, so this is meant to be /vehicle_1836735.html when it's clearly not the same car.
7. The reporter disposes of the other man, takes his uniform and brings it to our hero, standing next to /vehicle_1744605.html with plate Roma 387154, same as /vehicle_1744604.html but the car is not as blindingly white. A few minutes later, our hero, all dressed up as an Italian pilot, and the reporter are seen entering what very much looks like the white /vehicle_1744604.html again.
8. We see /vehicle_1744600.html approach and then seemingly drive past an officer and the camera. It has the top and the bottom of the radiator taped over, is black and it's a limousine, not a convertible, yet sports the plate Roma 387154, same as /vehicle_1744604.html and /vehicle_1744605.html .
9. Also, the car doesn't drive on, but it stops, revealing as its passenger the leading dame who briefly interviews that officer. The car is now /vehicle_1744599.html which doesn't have its radiator taped over, and also has a mascot on it that the car /vehicle_1744600.html doesn't have. The mascot also seems to be larger than that on /vehicle_1836732.html .
10. Moments later /vehicle_1744606.html is shown arriving at an airfield, but on on close-up it becomes /vehicle_1744604.html with our hero and the reporter alighting from it.
11. A few more moments later the leading dame also arrives, surprisingly in what looks like /vehicle_1744599.html again. At this point the movie leaves the vehicles behind for some aircraft action.

Confused? Welcome to the club.
