    From the movie Charade 1963 -- the low, wide white car parked on the other side of the street (no, not the DS/ID in the background)

    The whole scene is so brief I am sure it must have been done in Paris, no point in building such a big set for 5 seconds at the most, and the car is visible for about 0.5 sec in total.

    I suspect it is a Maserati, and it does not look like any Facel-Vega I can think of.

    But what?

    Pretty sure it's a '58 Maserati 3500gt

    Outstanding work if you’re right, looks pretty good.

    Great call. I’d go early 60’s model though based on the lighting arrangement from what little I know.

    Car in question in those movie clips looks more Silver to me than White, so I wasn't sure which car you were talking about.
