1932 MG J2

chris40 ENYou're almost certainly right. I didn't know about J2s ever being fitted with cycle wings :p 2008-10-05 10:52
1932 MG J2
An American in Paris (1951)
GREYBEAR ENIt doesn't have the split V-shaped windscreen of the M-type and the door line appears wrong. I think it is a J2 which was made from 1932 to 1934. This one has cycle wings which were only fitted in 1932. 2008-10-05 02:11
1950 Mercury Sport Sedan [0M-74]
An American in Paris (1951)
DynaMike NLSorry, Gag Halfrunt, I hadn't seen your info yet... OK, so this wasn't made for F, but still strange to see it had a different grille... 2008-10-04 23:32

An American in Paris (1951)
DynaMike NLI'm afraid I cannot agree with Peugeot... Cf the side deco of the hood and the vertical shape of the rear doors. My guess would be some mid-thirties Renault, but I'm not sure at all... 2008-10-04 22:47
1950 Mercury Sport Sedan [0M-74]
An American in Paris (1951)
Gag Halfrunt UKI already quoted this on the main page but:
Quote Despite the objections of Gene Kelly who wanted to shoot on location in Paris, the movie was shot at MGM Studios in California, on 44 sets built for the film. It was reportedly difficult for the studio to secure travel arrangements or locations for shooting. Two shots in the picture are from Paris, but they don't involve Kelly.

http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0043278/trivia

As far as I can tell, the only genuine Paris shots are:
vehicle_119989-Cadillac-Series-60-Special-6069-1948.html
vehicle_119990-Nash-1941.html
vehicle_119985-Simca-8-1200-Berline-1950.html

1949 Renault 4CV Luxe
An American in Paris (1951)
DynaMike NLBy the bumpers with overriders and the license plate placed under the bumper this has to be a 1949 (only) Luxe. 2008-10-04 22:19
1950 Mercury Sport Sedan [0M-74]
An American in Paris (1951)
DynaMike NLAnother Sport Sedan. By the emblems on the hood this must be a 1950 model. The grille has much less chrome than on the US-version, so I guess this was a special version for Europe? Let's call it 'made for France' until better info is found. 2008-10-04 22:15
1935 Citroën 11 B
An American in Paris (1951)
DynaMike NL11 Berline Normale, somewhere between 1935 (in 1934 there was only the short wheel base model) and 1946 (since 1947 the headlight housing was painted). 2008-10-04 22:10
1949 Mercury Sport Sedan [9CM-74]
An American in Paris (1951)
DynaMike NLThis was the only model with a proper name back then: Sport Sedan [74]. Indeed most probably a 1949. 2008-10-04 22:05
1936 Peugeot 402 LT Taxi
An American in Paris (1951)
DynaMike NLVery nice! Not only the colours, the taxameter and the long wheel base make this a taxi, also the sliding roof on the rear: 402 LT Taxi, one of 2083 built between September 1935 and November 1936. 2008-10-04 21:58

1948 Cadillac Series 60 Special [6069]
An American in Paris (1951)
mrcadillac SXYes, I think you are right. If there were more image to the right you would see the 120ft bronze "Colonne Vendôme" (the "Vendôme Column") on top of which stands Napoléon I. The propagandists assert that the bronze outer casing is made from 1200 canon captured from Russian and Austrian armies. Historians are agreed on "only" 130 canon seized at the Battle of Austerlitz.
