caravaggio, bacchus 1596
On the flipside, fascinated by Will Graham’s car and all it signifies about him:
There’s a very different vibe between these vehicles even setting aside price point -- even the difference in reviews, where you're seeing stuff like "comfortable", "dependable", people talking about how good it is for doing your own repairs or for helping your friends move. Will is fully comfortable transporting stray dogs in this thing, he's using it to commute some ungodly distances so it's not a total beater, but he's not particularly interested in turning heads or in owning something that's fun to drive. I would wager Will's not this car's first owner and that he does most of his own maintenance, while Hannibal 1000% pays someone else very well to do that shit for him.
Overall show!Will's Volvo always reminds me of book!Will's real ambivalence around the Leeds' well-to-do acquisitiveness in Red Dragon.
Graham pursued Charles Leeds through the house. His hunting prints hung in the den. His set of the Great Books were all in a row. Sewanee annuals. H. Allen Smith and Perelman and Max Shulman on the bookshelves. Vonnegut and Evelyn Waugh. C. S. Forrester's Beat to Quarters was open on a table. In the den closet a good skeet gun, a Nikon camera, a Bolex Super Eight movie camera and projector. Graham, who owned almost nothing except basic fishing equipment, a third-hand Volkswagen, and two cases of Montrachet, felt a mild animosity toward the adult toys and wondered why. Who was Leeds? A successful tax attorney, a Sewanee footballer, a rangy man who liked to laugh, a man who got up and fought with his throat cut.

i love his fuck off european car so much
We need @identifying-cars-in-posts: Is this a Jag, a Merc?...does it indeed handle like a boat (aren't modern jags just made by ford now?)...
It’s a Bentley! IMCDB says it’s a 2000 Bentley Arnage Red Label — I use Internet Movie Cars Database so much for this stuff even if it’s mainly to find out if characters can easily have sex in a particular car. (Wrt this specific car, no comment.)
The fun thing about auto writing is that there’s some fascinating reviews out there:
The Arnage Red Label, a 2000 for this test drive, overwhelms just sitting there — graceful lines, imposing size, long hood, classic door handles and a here-comes-somebody-important-styled grille.
The parked Red Label drew a crowd of passersby, some of whom took several laps around the car to get a better look. Pushing my way through the mob, I opened the driver’s side door and stepped into an environment probably not too far removed from the Presidential Suite at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City.
Exquisite leather seats are offset with rich wood trim. Elegant analog gauges reminded me of Duesenberg in its heyday. A seemingly limitless number of comfort/convenience controls are within easy reach — heated seats, navigation system with pop-up screen, dual climate control, the works.
By the time of canon he’s clearly owned it for a few years by choice but it’s very funny to picture 30something Hannibal Lecter taking this thing off the lot. He must have been seriously feeling himself.

Detail of an 1839 advertisement for George Delas's invention for measuring the body for clothing, the 'somatometer.'
Guillaume Compaing was not only the first Frenchman to systematize "the application of geometry to the cutting of clothes" in his 1828 treatise on L'art du tailleur, he was also one of the first to propose calculations for modifying a pattern according to the stature, posture, and stance of a given client. Many other "methods" appeared, sometimes accompanied by instruments including Beck's 1819 "costumometer", Sylvestre's 1829 "mechanical bust", Barde's 1834 anthropometric trinity of "shouldometer, backometer, bodimeter", and Delas's 1839 "somatometer."
