Le Crabe aux pinces d'or
In its day, the Reinastella had the same cachet of luxury and privilege in the Francophone world that Rolls Royce had in Britain and America. As a result, it may sometimes appear in contemporary popular media as a symbol of wealth. For example, it appears in "The Adventures of Tintin" series of Belgian comics "The Blue Lotus" (1936) and "The Crab with the Golden Claws" (1941). (The depictions may be of a Vivastella in taxi configuration.)
