Never found the person. I only saw it as I was leaving. But obviously he or she parked right in front of me on purpose, so I did at least look around before I left.  No luck. 

“Focus RS in Nitrous Blue. You’ll never lose your car in the parking lot”

He might have, because even Benchley came around.  He protested the change loudly to screenwriter Carl Gottlieb, saying how it was physically impossible, but when he saw the finished film with an audience that went wild at that moment, he had to grudgingly admit that the change worked for the movie.

I also hope some good hearted billionaire snaps it up and treats it well.

Here is the route:

Claude Lelouch’s own Mercedes-Benz 450SEL, to be precise. He claimed the sound effects came from his Ferrari 275GTB. But there is so much myth and mystery surrounding the movie — and Lelouch was happy to let the legends grow — that all the real details may never be determined. His own statements had likely…
