The gray car on the left is a 1963 or 1964 Buick Riviera, it's also visible on the other picture provided. |

I'd guess this is probably the same car as used in the "Champions" /vehicle_12881-Alfa-Romeo-Giulia-SS-1963.html -- Last edit: 2006-11-27 15:15:06 |

Not sure. Front grid does not seem to be the same. BTW, the one in "The Champions" is clearly a Giulia SS (1600cc) - see badge on the rear panel. Externally, only the badges and maybe some little details can differentiate a Giulietta SS (1300cc) from a Giulia SS (1600cc). Change of name came with the 1600cc engine and with the brand new Alfa Romeo Giulia Sedan presented in 1962. The Giulietta SS became then Giulia SS and got most of the Giulia technology under her bodywork. |

The thumbnail shows the rectangular front wing side-repeater that identifies a 1963 Giulia SS. |

Owned by the ITC producer Monty Berman, and confirmed that same car used in /vehicle_12881-Alfa-Romeo-Giulia-SS-10121-1963.html and other links on that page. -- Last edit: 2012-10-30 22:11:08 |

Excellent sleuthing, thank you! I know that the production company used some of their own cars in shots. By the color episodes, Berman had gone on to "The Baron" so was no longer a co-producer on "The Saint". But the shows were quite interwoven (a little too interwoven when "The Baron" recycled and slightly revised a few The Saint scripts.) I've read that a charcoal gray VW was production supervisor Johnny Goodman's personal car, and of course Roger Moore took the Volvo home at the end of the work day, at least by 1967. |
