The problem with prewar cars in general is that they tend to blend together. They were mostly coach built along the same design ideals, and the people who could tell you why a Hispano Suiza was more desirable than a blower Bentley or Cadillac V16 or Packard or whatever firsthand are long since dead.
The kind of car Dirk Pitt finds long abandoned in a barn while running from this installments baddies. Somehow he easily cranks it up, then trashes it in the usual "thrilling" chase. The car then gets restored in the epilogue.
I do quite like the look of the '30s luxo-barges so I will go with cool.
Automatic sub zero. Hell I hit sub zero before even being sure which Hispano it was, as I sincerely don't remember the designations. But it's a Hispano.
