Stupid, Useless Trivia Question

I watched "To Catch A Thief" (Cary Grant, Grace Kelly) the other night, and something is driving me crazy. What kind of car was Grace Kelly driving? It's obviously an expensive 2-seat convertible, but I've never seen anything like it. Anybody know what it is? Can't find any reference on the 'net. HELP!! I CAN'T SLEEP AT NIGHT!

Can't remember, it's been a while since I've seen that movie.

A bit of irony, many years later Grace Kelly died in an auto accident on the same road in the chase scene.

Geez, I completely forgot about that! A very tragic loss of an incredibly beautiful woman, inside and out.

Google search of the movie along with the word "car", one of the hits had a link to that page. Got lucky!

WOW- thanks!! I've always prided myself on my old car knowledge, but I've never even HEARD of this car before! I searched for "To Catch A Thief" on Google, but couldn't come up with the car. Go to that link and pull up the images at the bottom of the screen- beautiful car, don't you think? Or maybe it just looked better with Grace Kelly behind the wheel.

I think Grace looked best in the REAR WINDOW

The Alfred Hitchcock movie with Jimmy Stewart. That was a good movie, and Grace looked great!
