P.S. The little green pickup is his Fiat 900T. The taxis could be his too. http://www.eurofilmcars.com/html/trucks.html (link updated) -- Last edit: 2015-07-01 20:56:31 (Sunbar)

Ingo ◊ 2011-06-19 17:48	Isn't the Fiat 238 Pick Up worth to list? Rare, I think, especially in the USA (where this movie was made).
DynaMike ◊ 2011-06-19 17:51	I agree that's a rare thing. Might be the very same as /vehicle_313018-Fiat-900-T-100GF-1977.html
