philm  | Some possibly helpful trivia - the original car from "Sunset" was re-used in David Lynch's "Mulholland Drive" for about 2 seconds. It can be seen in the background, parked on the Paramount lot in the same location as in Wilder's film. Maybe a screen shot could help positively identify the car? | 2009-04-29 18:25 | |

wickey  | from imdb trivia: "Despite the fact that Erich von Stroheim plays a butler/chauffeur, he could not drive in real life. During the scenes in which he drove, the car was towed by another car. In the scene in which he drives Norma Desmond to Paramount Pictures, he crashed into the famous Paramount gate." |

wickey | sure .gif ":)") after seeing dozens of Isottas - they are really magnificent ones (but probably my Volvo dreams will be easier to fulfill  ) anyway cars with royal or other interesting pedigree are always more interesting - but sometimes not even that could save it before almost destruction - nice example:Link to "www.petersen.org" Link to "www.petersen.org" Link to "www.petersen.org" happy end and back to Isotta - it is so probably not the same car, but I think it is so similar, that we can name it after that -- Last edit: 2006-10-24 01:41:08 |

Alexander | Hey, Wickey, you found a second love next to Volvo? You excellent research shows that the Christie's people don't know what they are talking about. It is quite obviously a different car than the one auctioned. The Tipo 8A from the Blackhawk Collection is a similar vehicle, but I would say not identical. Too many details are different. Even a restauration of a rotten vehicle wouldn't change it so much. Funny how many people try to make money with a vehicle they don't have! To understand this one should know that an exclusive car with an interesting history can easily double the price! |

wickey | now the question is - could be the differences between movie car and BH car caused by later renovation? The similarity of these two vehicles is very obvious.. My final opinion - this car really should be (95%) 1929 Isotta Fraschini Tipo 8A Castagna Transformable Chassis# 1587 |

wickey | so I believe we have solved the problem with Tipo 8B. Now the question is: Is the car in Blackhawk collection really the same with the movie vehicle? |

wickey | after some further research I can definitely say, that the car used in the movie is NOT a 1931 Isotta Fraschini Tipo 8B Viggo Jensen Cabriolet d'Orsay Dansk Karosseri-Fabrik major differences: the movie car has divided windshield, christies car have one piece windshield christies car has second regular windshield in front of passengers, movie car has only slideable glass bumpers are completely different shape of the roof is different the window openers in the back are differently positioned. The Christie's cataloguers are definitely wrong. -- Last edit: 2006-10-23 18:22:00 |

| 1929 Isotta Fraschini Tipo 8A Castagna Transformable Sunset Blvd. (1950) |
wickey | to be honest, the one in BH collection looks more like the one in the movie.. notice the front and rear bumpers - clearly the same, but different on christies specimen. On the other hand, the BH is in different colour, is not leopard skinned inside and the position of front windshield on the car in BH looks straighter as in the movie (that is more similar with Christies example..) But if we look at this link: http://www.autoreview.ru/kunst/num21/cabriol1.htm - I believe it is a Christies specimen - the front grille is also completely different from the car in the movie etc.. Can someone read and understand Russian??? I am definitely confused now. |
