You've already been warned.

Post by: ImpishGrin on December 30, 2008, 06:00:46 AM: But jimjarron, in your article the car is never called Francone Vista? It is however called Santin-Francone in the text. So where did you get the Francone Vista name from, I wonder?
Title: Re: Solved JJ #26: Francone Vista
Post by: Ray B. on December 30, 2008, 06:31:07 AM: From here I guess. And I believe that jimjarron and faksta speak spanish as bad as I do, and that "Vista 3/4 trasera" mean "rear 3/4 view".

@ Otto: Sorry once again! Jim Jarron also provided the link, so?

This particular car is mentioned differently in various sources. Jim Jarron's source has it as Francone Vista (maybe ???) and the source I have provided has it as Francone Vista. I am not sure which name is really correct..

Post by: faksta on December 30, 2008, 10:38:33 AM: Anyway, I guess Arunas has scored his point ;)
I've taken the same picture, but without any inscripts like on Ray's one. It was called 'Francone Vista' in a text, as far as I remember.

Post by: woodinsight on September 03, 2011, 07:31:44 PM: Another view labelled Francone-Santin of 1954
Title: Re: Solved JJ #26: Francone Vista
Post by: Ray B. on September 05, 2011, 10:53:35 AM: Righy; And if one read repiles 13 and 14, it's obvious that the topic should be corrected and renamed "Francone-Santin"
