BEBEL AND HIS CARS SHINE ON CAMERA
Jean-Paul Belmondo has marked several generations of spectators with scenes, stunts and chases that have become iconic. Several models are linked to his filmography as the imposing Matra MS630 in Ho! or the superb Lorraine-Dietrich in Borsalino where we find the Belmondo / Delon thugs duo. In Love is a Funny Thing, we remember the lovers, Françoise (Annie Girardot) and Henri (Jean-Paul Belmondo) at the wheel of the Mercury Marquis Convertible through their American journey.
IN JEAN-PAUL’S GARAGE
In front of and behind the camera, Jean-Paul satisfied his passion for beautiful cars. With a taste for Italian cars, we no longer count the models he collected, a 250 TdF Ferrari, a 250 California or a 308 GTS and a 246GT Dino. He also had a crush for the DB5 Aston Martin since he had two of them, a grey one and the other one, burgundy. The actor also owned a Ghibli Spider Maserati, an AC Bristol, a SP250 Daimler or a 403 Cabriolet Peugeot, a Gordini Renault-Alpine and a Panther Lima.
