Is there a clear enough view of the bonnet to see if there are louvres or opening panels? We had a 1939 “Super Modern 12” which looked quite similar to this image, as far as can be seen. -- Last edit: 2021-01-29 19:43:41
chicomarx ◊ 2021-01-29 19:56	Only one shot of this car. I'm worried about DXX 70 because the buses in this movie have similar fake registrations.
