Default What kind of Car - in a movie - 07-09-2003 , 12:37 AM






Dear Group,

I am trying to find out what kind of car I saw in a movie.

The film was "Stop Press Girl" 1949 B&W.


The car is the one in which the female lead and the intending husband
drive to her uncle's house. The car breaks down, on account of this
girls innate ability to deactivate machinery. As they walk a policeman
finds the car now running at the side of the road, and proceeds to drive
it to town - passing them at the side of the road.


The car is a small two seater, open top sports car - I think without
doors. It has open wheels f'ward and in-arch wheels at the rear.

This looks like a terrific candidate for electric conversion given its
small size and spoke wheels.

Any car / movie buffs who can help I would be greatly interested to find
this car.

Thanks

Chris
