DynaMike ◊ 2010-08-29 12:09	Belvédère name was only used in France, but is this a French car? License plate looks very white... I hope you're going to list the very rare car on the far right as well, Sixcyl ? Edit: If indeed a non-French version it would be an Autobianchi Bianchina Panoramica, or, if German, a Fiat Bianchina Panoramica. -- Last edit: 2010-08-29 12:11:45
Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2010-08-29 12:24	Reflective plates (white at the front and yellow at the back) were introduced in France in the 1960s, but they weren't common until the eighties or nineties. You can sometimes see them in sixties films, e.g. Le Samourai (1967): /vehicle_24095-Austin-Mini-Cooper-ADO50-1963.html
