sixcyl ◊ 2015-01-04 09:59	The 3rd thumbnail shows a 11BL 1952, but I'm not sure that the others pictures shows the same car? ... something strande with the rims and bumper, makes me thinking of a non-French built model ... (belgium, england, ?? ) ... otherwise, it could be some aftermarket accessories? where is the location of this scene?
DidierF ◊ 2015-01-04 17:29	The location of the scene is quite difficult to be certain. It's supposed to happen in Gênes. But some hints say it has been partially filmed in Paris: the Renault as ambulance, for instance, while the different Cadillacs et Bel Airs seen, breaking the continuity, suggest that the "case of the Traction" would not be the only one of the type. Actually, the main pic and the first two thumbnails shot in continuity, were probably made in Paris, the third somewhere else, in a port — and Gênes could be the one (since it seems that scenes with actors have been shot there). So, and besides your very sharp eye that I salute with admiration, you do not surprise me saying that the third thumbnail (shot in the harbor) shows another kind of Traction. (The last thumbnail, in day light, was filmed in continuity near the barriers of Orly Airport — or should I say "airfield", when we see its apperance at that time?)
