Like most of you, I have a complete lack of respect when it comes to Hollywood's representation of classic automobiles. So help me. Why does it look like in the movie Tower Heist, the Ferrari in question looks like a 250 SWB from the front and a 250 Lusso from the rear????

It was supposedly a 250 Lusso all round...

They made two props for the movie, both based on a Volvo P1800 chassis. I actually believe the guys that built those replicas did an amazing job, as they didn't have access to a genuine Lusso to work from - they did it, all in a very short time frame, using only pictures for reference.

Funnily enough, I was eying up that very kit a few a few days ago with you in mind :o)
