Isotta Fraschini Tipo 8A for Rudolf Valentino

[Craig Gillingham]

Locked for Bentleybob. Give me a rough year and the point is yours.

1924 Fleetwood-bodied Isotta-Fraschini Tipo 8A Town Brougham bought by him off the New York Auto Salon 1924

[Craig Gillingham]

That sounds about correct. I've seen it mentioned as a 1923 or a 1925. I think it's a 1925 Tipo 8A, so it could be either 1924 or 25. I've no idea who built the body. Either way, it's a point for you.

[Craig Gillingham]

You're correct, it was bodied by Fleetwood, I didn't know that part. I've given you another point for adding that detail.

Oh, thanks!
