Bon Dieu ! Serait-ce… serait-ce encore une de ces sensationnelles Mercedes ?! Je… Je me signe furtivement, pour conjurer la possible découverte d'une étoile à trois branches dans un coin de photo. |

I think here we have something more exotic: a British Jensen. Probably the 1938 Type H-L1 Drophead Coupe that is said to have been imported to the U.S. on the special order of a Hollywood film personality – as I’ve just learnt, the only lhd V12 drophead Jensen ever built. Nice to see that it’s still with us. -- Last edit: 2014-10-19 15:43:08 |

I looked at it and thought that the radiator looked very Jensen, but then said to myself, no chance............ |

The other movie, This Land Is Mine, where the car seems to be seen, is a RKO picture, this one is a MGM, and they do not share stars or producers. (But it is without counting friends of.) |
