I do not think these are the same cars .The one with the nurse and the boy seems to be a Bentley Mk VI of 1950/51 vintage .As far as I can see it has the round Bentley grille without the flying lady mascot. The car on the small picture is a Rolls-Royce and one can clearly spot the Rolls-Royce grille and flying lady mascotfrom behind .It may be a pre-1950 (ca ' 48) Silver Wraith .Are the two following each other in the same sequence or in different sequences in the movie ? |

I agree with Pilou. The car seen in front view has the soft, curved radiator shell typical of a fifties Bentley (NOT a Rolls of that era, which is angular). Au fait, "Wraith" [apparition, fantome, spectre) et non pas "Wraight". |

Sorry to contradict Gentlemens, but the 2 cars are the same. The picture are not in the same sequence, but look at this The black Rolls Royce is following the Silver Cloud into the "Hotel particulier" where lives M.SHOUDLER (Jean Gabin) I am not a specialist of Rolls Royce, but I am sure it is one of them -- Last edit: 2006-06-04 15:21:03 (antp) |

The black car is a Bentley Mk.VI Standard Steel Sports Saloon (1946-55). It is almost identical to the Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn (1949-55), which was the first RR to be sold with a standard steel body. The mascot on the radiator grille is Bentley's 'Winged B'. |

So! ...the car seen on the 2 different sequences are actually the same...and the mascot showing the old "Bentley Winged B"...you were right. |

The additional pictures show that the car behind the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud is indeed a Bentley Mark VI Sports Saloon. |
