Cadillacs in movies.

[Lexi]

In the old CLC Mid-Century Cadillac chapter Forum, we had an ongoing thread on Cadillacs in the movies. Myself and Phil Whyte were significant contributors. Even moderator and adminstrator Lou Commisso would occasionally get involved. Good old days. Wish it were possible to move that information here. But we still have that Cadillac movie data base on the net. Clay/Lexi

Yes a great forum and sorely missed Clay. I need to start noting the films again. I've actually had time to watch some lately. Time to get my notepad out. Phil

Yeah, I guess we could kick start it here. Thank goodness Barry started a car-movie thread so at least we got somewhere to go and chat on this topic. But for us it is a little daunting, as it is like starting all over again. Clay/Lexi

Yes, my memory isn't what it was! I saw a great film noir about a gold robbery and to get the gold out of the city they melt it down and mould bumpers etc for a couple of 53 Cadillacs and chrome the gold. For the life of me I can't remember the name of it! Phil

Hello every one , I just thought I would share my experience in movie with my car.The year 1990 a production company BBC call me to ask if I would lend my 1956 Cadillac Fleetwood Sixty Special to them for a upcoming movie that they were filming in souther Alberta, Canada. I agreed. The movie is call , The Reflecting Skin ,. I purchased the  car in 1980 with 48K miles on it and today it has about 71K. I still have it. Here are some pictures.

Never heard of that movie. Must check it out, especially as some called it a psychological horror film. This European DVD case appears to picture your beautiful car in the background. Clay/Lexi

Clay did you see my reply to you above about Plunder Road. This film features Cadillacs as a central part of the film.

My 1957 Series 75 used extensively in the Paul Newman movie BLAZE.  Tom CLC#6866

Hey Phil, yes I did. When I clicked on your link all I got was a white screen. Perhaps problems with that link at that time? Will try it again. Sounds iteresting and that film I am not aware of. Clay/Lexi

I still like the Harold and Maude 59 hearse scene.

Return of the Living Dead

[Lexi]

That was a good zombie film, ("Brains" remember the chant?), though I felt sorry for the car. I think there was even a scene where the Caddy was out in the pouring rain with the top down. Clay/Lexi

[Lexi]

In the sequel. Return of the Living Dead Part II, another 1959 Cadillac was used. This time it looks like a 1959 Fleetwood Sixty Special. Clay/Lexi

Hats off to the posts about the Living Dead movies.  Always loved them because of the 59/60 cads.

There is a movie that I can never remember the name to.

A family moves into an old mansion/ funeral home that was owned by a magician/ actor of the past. The house had been filled with squatter punks.

The magicians ghost and (girlfriend?) Possess people and sometimes help sometimes hurt the family. The brother and sister get a 1961 hearse going and have a chase sequence with the punks.

I remember the movie just for the car. I cannot remember the actual movie name.

But there is another 1961 hearse in the movie Monster Squad.

[Lexi]

Despite being a huge horror movie fan, I am not sure what film that would be. Yes, Monster Squad did have a skeg in it, but I am drawing a blank for this other one. The first Phantasm film featured a good Hearse chase, but as I recall that was not a skeg and involved a funeral home, and not a mansion with squatters. Perhaps one of the other Phantasm films would fit the bill? Can't recall. Any idea when you first saw this movie? Might help if we had a time frame and a cut off date in which to scour our "brainssss" for an answer to your question. Could it have been a TV show episode and not a movie? Clay/Lexi

[Lexi]

And I assume that it was a horror movie that featured this '61 Hearse? If not horror, my mind's macabre movie data bank will exponentially fail to find a match. Clay/Lexi
