Sunset Boulevard[edit]
A 1929 landaulet limousine example of the car with "coupe de ville" bodywork by Castagna of Milan, is featured in the 1950 film Sunset Boulevard as the car of lead character Norma Desmond, a forgotten silent movie star who in the film says
...we have a car. Not one of those cheap things made of chromium and spit but Isotta Fraschini. Have you ever heard of Isotta Fraschini? All hand-made. It cost me twenty eight thousand dollars.
(Adjusted for inflation, and assuming she bought the car in 1929, $28,000 would be equivalent to $385,868 in 2016.) William Holden as Joe Gillis, an unsuccessful screenwriter said, telling the story, "The whole thing was upholstered in leopard skin and had one of those car phones.
- All gold-plated." The "Sunset car" is back in Italy on display at Museo Nazionale dell'Automobile since 1972. Gloria Swanson's character Norma Desmond's initials are on the rear doors of the car.[8][9
