CarChasesFanatic ◊ 2009-02-20 20:02	DynaMike wrote 1953+ 11B (Normale) 'Traction'. What kind of license plate is that? Gag Halfrunt wrote A fake French one. The E in the serial number shouldn't be there, and depending on when this scene is set the 75 might also be wrong, since départment numbers were first used in 1950. http://plaque.free.fr/f_rec1e.html By the way, a new system comes into force in April and départment codes will disappear. http://plaque.free.fr/f_new1_e.html The headlamps are wrong too. They should be yellow.

I drove it as much as I could, except I had to take it off the road in winter as it didn't have snow tires. I should have kept the car after the movie, though, but it started to rust and it was going to be too expensive to paint it, compared to its value at the time. I sold it and bought myself a Star sailboat instead. Still have the Star. I suspect the car has rusted away by now.
