I have no idea what this is about since there are no subtitles, but it's an interesting view of various foreign (and some US) cars of the day.

I worked on a yellow Siata Sebring just like that one.

And the man in the suit has just bought a new car from the profit he's made on your dreams

That was hilarious. No need to know what it was about and I watched with the sound off anyway.

The joke is on me - turns out I'm actually spending this week at a trade show in the same spot as the movie. I'll let you know if I meet any of these people.

No you don't.  I commented on a customized Citroen DS once and the reply was   "Ask your Doctor if Viagra is right for you".

Oh I'm well aware that a French car is not the smartest investment.

That was pretty awesome. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. 

Somehow, in the element of that period film, the Siata Spring manages to look fashionable (a pretty and fashionable driver helped) but man, those things were the WORST Fiat 850 variant. Really awkward in person. 

 

So many cool cars in that. Renault R8's, Two Fiat 850 sedans, a LOT of Fiat 1500's. The DAF Dafoldil on the show display cut in half is one of my "I must have one someday" cars
