I'm guessing Wills St. Claire, based on the general shape of the hood ornament. The year? 1930-31 based on the general lines of the car. |

I very much doubt that this is a Wills Sainte Claire .First the hood ornament of the Wills Sainte Claire was a nice styled goose.Secondly the beltline on this car is different from that of Willses.Third , Wills Sainte Claire cars were manufactured between 1921 and 1926 and their general shape was much more early twenties looking.Fourth Willses are extremely rare and valuable collectors cars so it is most inprobable that any would be hired for movie purposes. |

..sorry to seem a novice, but I'd never heard of Wills before... I even thought Mr.Cadillac made a mistake and forgot the "Y" letter for Willys  ... you see my dirty gaps I assume Wills is not a french make, but don't you think this car could be a french one?... the scene seems taking place in France, as the car before shows a "F" on its right wing. |

The moulding on the edge of the bonnet is different... This classical and American-like styling makes me think of late twenties Berliet. |

The hood ornement is an after-market odo-meter. So impossible to see witch make with the hood ornement |

Well, you may give consideration to this being a 1927 Morris Léon-Bollée six light saloon, possibly by Chapron, one of which is known to survive..... -- Last edit: 2019-06-25 00:20:34 |

Possible further thought. I have assumed a French location. There is so little information on view that this is no more than speculation on a possibility. The “mascot” on the radiator is not an ornament, it is a temperature gauge, possibly a Calormeter, but not certain, which was a popular accessory on cars of that era. The filler cap was replaced by this device, which used a bi-metallic strip dipping into the coolant and linked by simple gearing to a meter showing the temperature of said coolant.
