This Cadillac was Alfred Hitchcock's personal car during his years at Paramount Studios from 1954 through 1960. It also shows up in "Psycho" in 1960. |

if these are indeed the same car, as alfiehitchie suggests, then they should be labeled the same... /vehicle.php?id=125678 |

I never noticed it in the background when Grant's character arrives at the mansion!! I had my eyes on the '58 Fleetwood Seventy-Five the entire time. In the field scene when Cary Grant is standing on the side of the road, he sees the older limo coming down the road toward him and makes an odd, anxious face and posture. Was his character supposed to recognize the car? In the story, was it supposed to be the same car from the house, or did they just use it again in the field scene because they needed cars to use? |

I have to disagree with Stroghold's comment above. It is not the same car seen in the background of the shot of Grant leaving the New York hotel. In that photo, look atop the rear fenders, it seems to have the front facing airscoops for (aftermarket?) Air Conditioning. The California car does not. (I would assume the California car would have AC, so its my guess that the scoops on the NY car might indicate an aftermarket item. Back then, early AC systems were in the trunk.) Also, the NY car seems to have a horizontal chrome strip just ahead if the tail lights..either that or it's a reflection. Also, if that hotel scene really was filmed in NYC, why would they drive Hitchcock's car across the U.S.A. when they could easily hire a limo for him in New York? If it is not Hitchcock's personal car in the hotel scene, it is probably not the car in ad in the background of the mansion shot with the '58 limousine... again why drive a car across the country when they could hire a car in new York. Without a detailed shot of the grille and trim, it may not even be a '54. Fifty-fives were very similar. Or renting a '54 in NYC could be a coincidence. Cadillac made a lot of cars back then. -- Last edit: 2024-03-23 04:23:41 |
