Think I've got it - Fiat 130 Coupe - what a beauty http://www.channel4.com/4car/gallery...30-coupe/130-c oupe_p age_16.html Can't be. The film was released in 1969, the 130 Coupe wasn't launched until 1972. -- Yes, it must have been the saloon version, released in 1969. Which looks *nothing* like the Coupe. Have you found a picture of the sedan version? I can't seem to find one :-( http://www.zarattini.com/fiat-1900/fiat130.jpg -- |
sure the film car is a two door...

The Mafia definitely use a 130 Coupe in the film.
