Yeah the brown leather interior is a questionable choice at best...

Though I have seen far worse ideas in the paint department.

Here are two pictures, when a colleague of mine visited the museum a couple of years ago. I still need to go there, and try to get more info about its VIN. And have them fix the sign that says it's a 1955 model.

And two pics of a 1955 Clipper that I found in my archives that was for sale here several years ago, still wearing a 1955 license plate (so most likely its original license plate).
Notice the 0-20(0) kph speedometer.

20 is abbreviated for 200 KPH which is about 125 MPH. Export speedometer?

My buddy in Sweden indeed has a 1955 Clipper in the same exterior colors, but not a red interior. Here we are in Stockholm a few years ago, preparing to go for a drive.

Bonjour,

merci de m'avoir accepté. Je suis français, je peux lire assez correctement l'anglais mais ni le parler, ni l'écrire.

En 1996/1998 j'ai travaillé au musée de Rochetaillée (Musée Henri Malartre - Ville de Lyon) afin de procéder à un inventaire exhaustif et faire une étude détaillée de tous les véhicules. Bien sûr les résultats de ce travail sont la propriété du musée, avec lequel je n'ais plus de contact. Cependant j'ai des souvenirs très précis de nombreuses machines.

Je ne me souviens plus des références peinture et sellerie qui figurent sur la plaque de chassis de la Caribbean, mais ci-dessous une photo de la voiture telle qu'elle est entrée au Musée. Elle avait été repeinte peu après cette prise de vue dans les dernières années 60. Quand je l'ai étudiée, la sellerie était entièrement réversible en rouge et blanc, y compris les garnitures latérales et dans les portes, grâce à des "zip".

Il y a eu deux Caribbean simultanément au musée et je ne sais ce qu'est devenue l'autre.

Serait-ce la voiture de Jean Marais qui aurait été vendue d'occasion à Edith Piaf, ou commanda-t-elle une neuve identique ?
