The front in the extra pics looks somewhat like a Cunningham. http://www.jimhayes.com/Wolery/lockcun2.jpg -- Last edit: 2006-02-19 04:09:30 |

I would disagree. It doesn't bear much resemblance to my eyes. |

I can't argue, just the general shape of the front in the thumbnails caught my eye. |

Isn't #55 a Jaguar? |

The car is way too small for a Cunningham, which were massive V8-powered cars. This is another 750-1100cc sports car. Probably, repeat, probably, a Gordini. -- Last edit: 2006-02-25 23:32:04 |

It is. So is the dark car disappearing to the left. |

Junkman, look at /vehicle_22505-unknown.html I think the unknown behind the Healy might be the same car and would like your opinion. |

I don't know if its that small. I watched the movie and it seems about the same size as a Jag 120. |

Modified Alero 8? |

Don't just make wild guesses. Note that this movie was made in 1954 - some 45 years before the Alero. |

I bought another book this past weekend..and thought I may have found this car ... but again ..Not correct.! (a couple of similar features ..but still not a match.!) ..the car I believed it could be.. was a Moretti ...also another Italian make at the time ...with some shape similarities is the Giaur ... again not the same as the car in this film.!) ..Never mind..i'll keep looking.! |

Could it be a Mallard? |

Do you mean Allard? It looks more like a Cunningham than an Allard but back then the owners modified the cars so much it was hard to tell. |

Maserati A6 GCS first series with the new, Carraroli-designed body, immediate predecessor of the A6 GCS/53 Fantuzzi spider. Here we can see it racing at Torrey Pines in 1955: http://www.tamsoldracecarsite.net/TorreyPinesFerrariMaserati.html |
