Where in the World

[Ed Cave]

I've always enjoyed this particular vintage Pagoda image.

Can anyone identify the specific dealership or location portrayed here? I suspect the RF fender's round, amber reflector is one clue and I suppose the neighborhood architecture is the other. Anybody know where this is?

You guys on the other side of the pond....we're counting on you for this one.

Italy... but can't say where in Italy. Anyone else?

[hauser]

My guess is also Italy.  The telltale round side marker says it all .

This looks like the view from inside what is now a Lambo dealer, just up from the American Embassy and below the Villa Borghese in Rome.  Just a guess, it will take a real Italian to tell us for sure.

Well, it might be somewhere in Sicily .. if you look real close... notice that slight rear negative camber ?

My mercedes 250SE is also from Italy , same signal marker .

Note that the wheel wells don't appear to be painted body color.  The photo looks like it was taken when the car was new, and if so, then black (or dark gray) wheel wells must be acceptable, even on a light-colored car.

Chris,

I wouldn't use that photo as a definitive point of reference on this suject. That photo was most definitely re-touched and even hand-colored. That's not to say undercarriages didn't come dark; I'm just saying this isn't a good reference picture.

I would guess on Paris or Vienna
