Title: 1938 60s in movie
Post by: Robert Bothwell CLC # 20850 on January 22, 2005, 11:19:56 AM
In Johnny Eager, 1942 starring Robert Taylor and Lana Turner.
 There are several nice shots of a 1938 Cadillac 60s near the end of the film. Its the first time Ive seen a 38 in a movie.

    If you can find "A plumbing we will go" 1940, you will see Moe, Larry and Curly riding in the back of a truck and they pass a real sharp black 38 60 Special parked on the street with the big Trippe lights on the front end.. I paused that shot many times.. This is the film where Curly thinks he can fix a leak in the shower!  A real classic!   Almost every time a big fancy car was used in a Stooge film, it was a Cadillac..  There was also a 38 60 Special used in a movie made in Canada around 1983 but I do not remember the name.

 I also remember seeing a 3-Stooges short that used a V-16 car. Cant quite remeber the skit or the year of the car, but they did include the soundtrack when the car sped off. This is the only time I actually have heard a V-16 exhaust note in anger! It was sweet!
