Le deuxième souffle (1966)
An early 60's Mercedes-Benz S. Which one is the van?

Le Samouraï (1967)
La pianiste: Black 1967 Chevrolet Camaro. I've got a neighbour with a deep blue painted one. And a white Camaro can be seen when Jeff Costello arrives at Martey's.
Wiener: ¿Pontiac Firebird? I think so.
Two Citroën DS hooked by Costello, among many others.
Gunman: A great 1961 Cadillac Deville, I think.
When Costello is about to arrive to his date at the train bridge with the Gunman, I think it can bee seen an old Renault. What do you think?

Le cercle rouge (1970)
Corey: 1966 Plymouth Fury III.
Jansen: Mercury Van.
It also appears Melville's 1968 Ford Mustang either, in the first police barrier.
Mattei has a Citroën DS.
I wonder which car is Paul's (Rico's man). The blue sedan with three spot lights in each side of the bottom.
Does anybody know anything about the other cars in the car shop?

Un flic (1972)
The same Corey's Plymouth Fury. It can be seen at the first scene, during the Marseille Credit Lyonnaisse Bank hold up.
Another Mercedes-Benz S. Just after the hold up. They change the car at the train station parking lot.
Edouard Coleman's "female" friend drives a Jaguar. Which model?

60's Chevrolet Impala.

Also, I must write down: a great Cadillac limousine appearing in "Le deuxième souffle" (1966)
