Frank Elder Posted October 25, 2008 Report Posted October 25, 2008 Just finished watching an old black and white starring Lloyd Bridges. Lot's of old cars, 46-48 Chrysler ragtop with 3 spears on front fender featured. White on white. And of course a Divco milk truck, like sailors they got a cameo in almost every post WWII movie. PS they caught the bad guy, sorry if I ruined the ending for you. Whose seen what old mopars, flatheads, in which movies. I know it's in the p-15 d-24 homepage but we should update it. Quote
JerseyHarold Posted October 25, 2008 Report Posted October 25, 2008 My favorites are 1951 and 1952 Plymouths, and they have been in quite a few movies and TV shows. Movies include 'The Hitch-Hiker' starring a '52 Cranbrook, '99 River Street' with a fleet of '52 Cambridge cabs, and 'Split Second' has a '52 business coupe that gets blown up (they also used a model car for some shots). A '51 Cranbrook sedan was featured in 'Come Back Little Sheba', and then there was the famous windshield kick-out scene with a '51 in 'The Godfather'. On TV, Hazel's boyfriend had a '51, a blue '51 made several appearances in 'MASH', and for some reason Richie Cunningham's parents were posed next to a black '51 sedan on the 'Happy Days' reunion a couple of years ago. There are quite a few more that I can think of (somethimes I think I'm too caught up in these cars....). Harold Quote
Frank Elder Posted October 26, 2008 Author Report Posted October 26, 2008 Thought Cunninghams drove a DeSoto? Quote
JerseyHarold Posted October 26, 2008 Report Posted October 26, 2008 I couldn't figure that one out either. They did drive a DeSoto in the series. I think it was shown in a few episodes. Quote
