This is Rudolph Valentino in, I believe, his 1923 Voisin. Which is now at The Nethercutt Museum in Sylmar, California: http://www.pbase.com/gemc48/image/39217895 http://nethercuttcollection.org/Visitor.aspx ![[Image: 1923voisin.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/0pb/1923voisin.jpg) although he owned many, including a Isotta Fraschini. |

A better picture from 1923:![[Image: 1923voisin2.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/0pb/1923voisin2.jpg) His 1924 Fiat Convertible: ![[Image: 1924fiat2.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/0pb/1924fiat2.jpg) Mostly Italian cars of course. -- Last edit: 2009-12-25 18:44:52 |

That FIAT looks interesting - apart from the drum headlights it looks much earlier than 1924 - more like 1914. It is probably one of the big Poughkeepsie-built models rebuilt. |

The only source for that was http://www.imdb.com/media/rm2156238848/nm0884388 I found another reference to "Valentino's white Fiat" and this excerpt from Dark Lover: The Life and Death of Rudolph Valentino: ![[Image: valentinoFIAT.jpg]](http://i368.photobucket.com/albums/oo124/marxbrosfan/valentinoFIAT.jpg "http://i368.photobucket.com/albums/oo124/marxbrosfan/valentinoFIAT.jpg") So he clearly loved Fiats. -- Last edit: 2009-12-26 22:54:32 |
