Found it. It is the movie Twice Dead.

Not a great movie. But I like bad movies.

There is also a 61 series 75 that is rearended by the ghost of Christmas past in the movie Scrooged.

Never seen that one. There are so many horror flicks out there, tons of them under my radar, especially low budget films. Everytime I go to the specialty video store I am shocked as to how many are there that I am unfamiliar with. Best Cadillac Hearse chase scene in a movie that I can think of is Arnie when he is driving the Hearse while trying to evade the Terminatrix, in Terminator 3: The Rise of the Machines. Best part was when he busted through the mausoleum's stained glass window while carrying a bronze coffin on his shoulder with a mini-gun. Then he loaded up the Cadillac Hearse to make his escape from the authorities and later the Terminatrix. Clay/Lexi

Then there is the crazy Randy Quaid in the movie Black Cadillac.

That was actually quite good. The titular villain was a 1957 Cadillac Series 75. Clay/Lexi

My 1956 Series 75 Limousine, along with my buddies 1957 Series 75 Limo, as well as an unidentified early '50s Hearse made it into Hollywoodland, which starred Adrien Brody and Ben Affleck. This scene was shot at the Necropolis, an ancient cemetery in Toronto. The cemetery scene was a little reminescent of that from the Godfather. Lots of Cadillac, as well as other vintage classic-car eye-candy, in this period piece. Clay/Lexi

1988 movie Purple People Eater.

I recently watched the movie "Thief" starring James Caan.  He drives what I think is a 1980 El Dorado throughout the movie, but there were dozens and dozens of land yachts throughout the move including many Cadillacs.

I enjoy reruns of Adam 12 and Emergency!; lots of roadway eye-candy.
Enjoy life - it has an expiration date.

"Junior Bonner" with Steve McQueen, Ida Lupino, Robert Preston, Ben Johnson. One of Sam Peckenpaws' best although hard to place as "The Wild Bunch" "Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia," "THe Getaway", are all so good it's hard to place "Junior Bonner". IMO second after "The Wild Bunch."

1987 Ghost Chase. Also called Hollywood Monster.

I dont watch classics only the obscure.

The cover art shows a convertible. But they actually drive around in a 59 Hearse.

Footsteps In The Night 1957 movie. Mainly Ford products but features an early 50s (pre 54) Cadillac custom woody wagon.

The movie Spy Game with Robert Redford and Brad Pitt. In one scene they are supposed to be running through a firefight in Beirut I think. And they hide behind a burnt out 1960 Cadillac Sedan.

I've meant to mention this for some time, but a very, very, VERY rare 1942 Series 62 fast back coupe was in the first few minutes of the Joan Crawford movie, "Mildred Pierce." It was Dark Grey over Light Grey. Not something you'd see going down the street every day even in 1942.

And I managed to catch the '41 60S in "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid" the other evening on TCM.

And speaking of that, being a former "700 Fussy Tailor," live men shouldn't either, unless it's quite muted.

My all-time favorite movie scene, which also show cases a Cadillac Hearse. From Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, with Ahhhh...nold. Great Hearse scenes with plenty of destructive action. The so-called "Cemetery scene". Clay/Lexi

Speaking of 1941 60 Specials, there is a great appearance of one in the first scene of "The Killers" when the two hit men show up in town to take out Burt Lancaster. An all-time great picture.

Burt's first film I believe? Yes a great picture!

The Whole Truth 1958 release, features a 56 Eldorado from around halfway through the film.

It's featured a few times from that point on, beautiful 56 Eldorado Biarritz, but it sounds like a bag of spanners (wrenches) being rattled around🤣
