This is the Aqueduct of Segovia which featured in the film El Cid.  El Cid starred Sophia Loren, whose photo this is.  She came from Naples and Darracq cars were assembled there and later the Alfasud was built there

It is definitely the Segovia Aqueduct!

The aqueduct is in Spain.  So, is the connection to Seat?

Well, it's the Aqueduct of Segovia in Spain, but not she's not Sophia Loren.  It's Debbie Reynolds who was filming "It Started with a Kiss" with Glenn Ford at the same time "Spartacus" with Kirk Douglas was filming.  They all stayed at the Madrid Hotel together during filming.  The aqueduct was in Spartacus, of course, and maybe in "It Started..." (?), but either way, it's gotta be the Lincoln Futura.

I'm 99.9% sure the Lincoln Futura was not in Spartacus, but I did leave to use the bathroom at one point in the second half of the film... ;)

You missed one of the classic fight scenes where Kirk Douglas gets run over.  He never saw it coming...



Either that, or spartacus was left over from my "aqueduct spartacus debbie reynolds" search that turned up the Madrid Hotel connection.

I thought I recognized Debbie Reynolds, but I never thought of her as a beautiful woman.

Subjective, of course. I found her appearance pleasant.
