What was Grace Kelly's car in "To Catch a Thief?"

[Naphtali]

In "To Catch a Thief" (1955: Cary Grant and Grace Kelly) Kelly drove a blue convertible sports car. What was its make and model? If you know its specifications, so much better.

It was a Sunbeam/Talbot Alpine I think. Not the newer style Alpine, but the 1953 to 1955 model.

The History Detectives did a show on the TCaT car a while back.

I'm sorry to be a spoiler, but when Grace Kelly is on the screen, I do not look at anything else. One of the most beautiful women to ever grace the silver screen. :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

I must agree with you on this, but after so many time seeing this movie I did notice the auto too.

Was the vehicle in the Mercedes-Porsche-Jaguar classs in terms of perceived value, performance, panache?

I can understand that. I've only seen it twice I think. I still get eyes off Kelly and Grant's wardrobe.
