This is the car Jack and Rose (Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet) have sex in, right? The hand on the steamed-up window scene?

Yes, that's in this way that the car is "used", as it is not actually driven if I remember well.

2 stars.

Why 2? I would give it 3, the scene was somewhat long & important, no? (and it is also well visible in the earler scene on main picture)

garco NL

2006-11-13 19:48

Ehm, I would have choosed that. As important cars that actually deserve 3 stars, that are important because seeing a lot get 4 stars, I was thinking here an important car which don't drive at all gets 2... ;)

A car can be used for some time even if it is not driven, but I agree that we could consider "use" as "drive"... so this one is not really used. Ok for two stars then.
By the way does the other 3-star car of the movie deserve it? I do not remember the beginning of the movie.

If I remeber well Kate Winslett uses it, but only when see gets out. I would give that one 2 stars too if she only gets out in one scene. But I don't know if there's anther scene in the car for example.

Sorry everybody, but you're ALL off on this one! This is a sheet-metal replica of the Renault Town Car shipped aboard Titanic. It's built on a salvage Model T chassis. No engine or running gear. The front wheels could not even steer; to move the car they would put a floor jack under the front and haul it around by hand.

The car was built by Adams Custom Engines in Reno, Nevada on behalf of the National Automobile Museum ( www.automuseum.org ). The museum also provided the 1912 Rambler for the movie, which is on display to this day. Its name does not appear in the credits to prevent anybody from suspecting payment to the museum and endangering its non-profit status. The museum received no compensation for providing these vehicles.

The sheet metal Renault Replica was built to be destroyed in the hold-flooding scene and was. It no longer exists.

Technicley this is a Made for Movie.

It is a more or less exact replica (hence the "replica" in the name)
"made for movie" are for cars which do not look much like a real one

I've checked the Titanic's cargo manifest, the car was indeed purchased by William Ernest Carter who and his family were returning on the ship to their home in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania after a family vacation to Europe.

Over the years from 1902, 1904 to 1906 and 1908 to 1910, the Carter Family had travelled to and from Europe and in May 1911, the Carter Family sailed to the Britain onboard the Cunard liner, RMS Lusitania to attend the Coronation celebrations of King George V and his wife, Queen Mary, and the London Season parties.

During the winter of late 1911, early 1912, the Carters rented the Rotherby Manor at the Melton-Mowbray district in Leicestershire.

The car itself was bought during the Family's trip to France.

The Family was booked originally to return to the US on the RMS Olympic departing Southampton on the 3rd April 1912 but the Carter Family changed their reservations at the last minute.

Also booked on the Titanic was Carter's manservant, Alexander Cairns travelling in First Class, Carter's driver, Augustus Aldworth, and Lucille's maid, Augusta Serreplaà who were travelling in Second Class.

In reality, the car was a Type CB Coupe de Ville that was packed in a crate and placed onto the Titanic and shortly before the voyage, Carter had insured the car with the Lloyds of London.

The Carter Family also brought their dogs onto the ships, the family's Airedale terrier and his wife, Lucille's personal Pekinese spaniel.

Carter Family had survived the sinking and afterwards, he made a claim on the car for $5,000 and two claims on the dogs for $300.

Since the film's release, the marine salvagers have been down to the wreck, looking for the vehicle, the hold in the front of the ship where the crate containing vehicle was stored, is still intact, while it is still unknown if the car is still intact or there.

I highly doubt there's anything left of the IRL car today. When the front end of the Titanic hit the ocean floor, the car was probably obliterated. If it wasn't and it somehow remained in place, the amount of water pressure probably crushed the car or maybe the car just rusted away to nothing and all that's left are the tires. Unless someone visits the wreck and shines one of those minisubs into the hold where the car was, we'll never know.

Renault Type CB Coupé de Ville Replica might be better.

Was there a British plate on the original?

El Renault 35 se cargó desarmado dentro de una caja, al igual que los otros vehiculos tenian que estar dentro de cajas para meterlos en la bodega.

The replica car still exists. Cameron posted a photo on Twitter 20 years later showing the handprint still visible on the glass. A model of the Titanic can be seen in the background.

At the time of the Titanic sinking in 1912, the vehicle's registration, FL 3698 was the prefix for the Soke of Peterborough.

As for the question whether the real vehicle had British number plates, the owners of the vehicle, the Carter Family had bought the car brand new while they were in France, before returning back to Britain to board the Titanic to return to their home in Pennsylvania.
