| 1951 Kaiser Special Min vän Percys magiska gymnastikskor (1994) | Yes, and so sad to see it in a junkyard. These were very stylish cars for their day. | 2012-04-25 04:24 | |
| 1947 Kaiser Special [K100] A Summer Place (1959) | Although it appears only briefly in this movie, it adds an interesting angle to the film. The movie also stars a Frank Lloyd Wright house in Carmel, CA, that is worth the price of admission~~~for what that's worth. An interesting '50s film with all the teen heart throb angst going for it, great haircuts and clothes, etc. | 2012-04-25 04:16 | |
| 1952 Kaiser Manhattan The Fast and the Furious (1954) | Well, the Manhattans had gin on their breath. The Dragons had dragon breath, obviously. | 2012-04-25 04:00 | |
| 1952 Kaiser Manhattan Four-Door Sedan Cry-Baby (1990) | A paint job that can only be described charitably as unfortunate. | 2012-04-25 03:58 | |
| 1953 Kaiser Manhattan Nous irons à Deauville (1962) |
Very hard to tell by this photo. But what in the world is the car in the foreground? Don't recognize it at all. |

| 1953 Kaiser Manhattan Back to the Future (1985) | Yes, the Dragons all had contrasting vinyl roofs with exotic patterns stamped into them. What's more fun than that? It's a '53 Manhattan. | 2011-09-06 10:00 | |
| 1953 Kaiser Manhattan Dad... Can I Borrow the Car? (1970) | Yes, it's obviously a very odd distortion of the whole front end. Makes me wonder why? | 2011-09-06 09:57 | |
| 1952 Kaiser De Luxe Four-Door Sedan [K5211] Olsen-banden (1969) | Kaisers and Frazers were always two distinct automobiles. Originally, the Kaiser was planned to be a front wheel drive vehicle, and the early print ads in magazines proudly announced this. It didn't turn out to happen. The two cars were very close in design and execution, with the Frazer being more expensive, with noticeably more luxuriously appointed interiors. At first the magazine ads mentioned, in small print; "Kaiser...Product of Kaiser Frazer" and "Frazer...Product of Graham Paige." | 2011-09-06 09:46 | |
| 1952 Kaiser De Luxe Four-Door Sedan [K5211] Oslo sentrum (1954) | I studied at the Univ. of Oslo in 1962, and noticed that there were quite a lot of American cars there at that time. This one looks to me to be a '52 or '53 Kaiser Deluxe. The Norwegians bought either English, American, French or Yugoslavian cars at that time because the German occupation during the war was still a very bad taste in the mouth. The Vauxhall was very popular, and some of the smaller Ford products not produced in Germany. The tax structure worked to the disadvantage of American cars, which were almost twice as expensive there as they were in the US. Still, they sold, partly, I suspect, because they were very grateful to the Americans and Canadians who liberated them. | 2011-09-06 09:36 | |
| 1951 Kaiser De Luxe Club Coupe In Cold Blood (1996) | I'd say it's a '51 Deluxe Club Coupe, due to the smaller tail light. I have an ad for this car above my desk, from the Saturday Evening Post. The copy reads; "This Year it's Clear...Kaiser's the car! 1951 Kaiser...the only car with Anatomic Design." My only question is, was there both a club coupe and a two door sedan? I can't tell from this photograph if it might have a slightly longer rear side window, which might indicate a 2 door sedan instead of a club coupe. Either way, it was a beautifully designed car! | 2011-09-06 09:23 | |
| 1951 Kaiser De Luxe My Favorite Year (1982) |
This must have been a stage prop. Note the obvious fake wheel. |
2011-09-06 09:08 | |
| 1951 Kaiser De Luxe Le corniaud (1965) | I think it's a '51. The '52 tail lights were larger and a different shape. At least that's what the ads for that year show. | 2011-09-06 09:06 | |
| 1952 Kaiser Custom Traveler Min vän shejken i Stureby (1997) | That's impressive that you know exactly what model it was. How about the car on the left? A DKW? | 2011-09-06 08:57 | |
| 1960 Kaiser Carabela Auto Esporte (2000-2013) | Agreed. And here it was, six years after this particular body style was introduced, and it still looks great. Classic style. | 2011-09-06 08:55 | |
| 1947 Frazer Standard 4-door Sedan [F47] Devil in a Blue Dress (1995) | You're right, it's a '47-'48 Frazer. Strange that it has no license plate. Oddly enough, I remember that color as being a Kaiser color. Frazers usually had colors that were just a bit more sophisticated, often two-tone. | 2011-09-06 08:00 | |
| 1951 Frazer Manhattan [F5162] Crash and Burn (2008) | Yes, I think you're right, it's an extremely rare '51 Frazer 4 door convertible. Wow, what a find! Were all Frazers of that year called Manhattans? | 2011-09-06 07:52 | |
| 1948 Chrysler Town & Country [C-39] Crash and Burn (2008) | Yes, it's a '48 Chrysler Town & Country. But far more interesting to me is the car to the right. Is that an extremely rare '51 Frazer 4 door convertible? | 2011-09-06 07:45 | |
| 1950 Chrysler Town & Country Newport Hardtop Coupe [C-49-2] The Lemon Drop Kid (1951) | Yes, it's a '50 hardtop coupe. In '49 chrysler produced only T & C convertibles, and in "50, only hardtop coupes in the Town & Country line. | 2011-09-06 07:41 | |
| 1946 Chrysler Town & Country [C-39] The Big Bang Theory (2007-2013) | OOops, DynaMike. Those were not V8 engines. They were straight eight engines. | 2011-09-06 07:35 | |
| 1946 Chrysler Town & Country [C-39] The Keeper (1976) | Something looks a bit wrong here. The '46 and '47 Chrysler Town & Country 4 door sedans all had roof racks built in. They were unique bodies, as you can see, with that extended trunk. But I've never seen one without the roof rack before. Anybody got any answers on this? | 2011-09-06 07:28 | |
| 1946 Chrysler Town & Country [C-39] Superman (1978) | What's not to love about this car? Lizabeth Scott drove one in almost every scene in the 1947 movie, Desert Fury. | 2011-09-06 07:22 | |
| 1946 Chrysler Town & Country Four-Door Sedan [C-39] Bodyguard (1948) | I believe that it's a '46 or '47 Chrysler Town & Country 4 door sedan. I think that they didn't produce this car in '48. At least I couldn't find it in my car encyclopedia. They were certainly cool cars. | 2011-09-06 07:14 | |
| 1949 Chrysler Royal Six [C-49] The Demolitionist (1995) | Interesting to see a '49 Chrysler used as a cab. Dozens of movies, if not hundreds, showed DeSotos being used as cabs during this period. | 2011-09-06 04:25 | |
| 1950 Chrysler Town & Country Newport Hardtop Coupe [C-49-2] The Hours (2002) | What a beauty, and in a great movie. Chrysler only offered the hardtop coupe as a Town & Country in 1950, surprisingly, as in '49 they only produced it as a convertible. | 2011-09-06 04:20 | |
| 1949 Chrysler Town & Country Macon County Line (1974) | This is a 1949 Chrysler Town & Country convertible. | 2011-09-06 02:47 | |
| 1955 De Soto Firedome Four-Door Sedan [S-22] It's Always Fair Weather (1955) | It's an early '55 DeSoto Firedome. They started adding the color sweep on the sides later on the lower priced models and 4 door sedans--I guess when they discovered how popular that feature was, they added it across the line, and they sold extremely well. | 2011-09-05 20:28 | |
| 1956 De Soto Firedome Two-door Sedan L'aîné des Ferchaux (1963) | It's a Firedome. The Fireflite had little chrome trim pieces on the top of the front fenders. This is very close to the DeSoto that Jimmy Stewart drove all over San Francisco in Vertigo, although that one may have been a Fireflite. | 2011-09-05 20:19 | |
| 1949 Oldsmobile 98 De Luxe Club Sedan Sunset Blvd. (1950) | Wasn't this Olds 98 actually introduced in 1948? If so, how do you tell the difference between the '48 and '49 models? | 2011-09-05 10:14 | |
| 1929 Isotta Fraschini Tipo 8A Castagna Transformable Sunset Blvd. (1950) | Has there ever been more confusion about a car used in movies than this one? It's all fun, though. | 2011-09-05 10:09 | |
| 1954 Studebaker Champion Starlight Coupé Suddenly (1954) | Yes, it's a Champ Starlight, alright. And you're right, this picture makes it vary hard to tell. But there is a slight difference in the tail lights. the '53s were flat, and the '54s were slightly rounded. Could be either in this photo. | 2011-09-05 09:57 | |
| 1946 Mercury Eight Station Wagon [69M-79] Suddenly (1954) | Yes, it's a little hard to tell from this photo whether it's a '46 or the '47,'48 model. The difference was on the grill. The '46s had a painted metal surround, while the '47s and '48s had that same piece of metal chromed. I see a little light reflecting off it here, so I'd go with the '47 or '48. The photo is awfully blurred to tell. | 2011-09-05 09:49 | |
| 1946 Dodge [D-24] Suddenly (1954) | If there is any way of telling which exact year it is from this photo, please tell us what the distinguishing characteristics are. To my knowledge, the '46, '47 and '48 models were virtually identical. | 2011-09-05 09:41 | |
| 1954 Nash Ambassador Suddenly (1954) | There are swarms of these Nash police cars in this movie. Very enjoyable to watch. Good movie, as well. LOL It always strikes me as odd that police departments would use Nash police cars. They weren't fast, they had huge turning radiuses, and were softly sprung. Still, very nice cars. | 2011-09-05 09:34 | |
| 1951 Nash Ambassador Custom [5178] Jack and the Beanstalk (1952) | Yes, it's an Ambassador Custom from '51. Isn't it the oddest thing that police departments chose that car? They were softly sprung family sedans with average engines. Yet you see them in lots of movies as police cars. The Frank Sinatra movie, "Suddenly" has swarms of '52 and '53 Nash police cars. | 2011-09-05 09:22 | |
| 1951 Nash Ambassador Custom [5178] Man with a Camera (1958-1960) | Hmmm. You may be right, but I don't see that extended chrome strip on this photo. Also, the hood seems shorter, which would indicate a Statesman. | 2011-09-05 09:17 | |
| 1949 Nash Ambassador Custom Brougham [4973] The Cool and the Crazy (1958) | The '50s had a slightly larger rear window. And there is no way of telling whether it was a 2 door sedan or the rare Brougham model without seeing the interior, which had two individual rear seats, slightly facing each other. In this photo, however, there is no way of telling either one. | 2011-09-05 09:13 | |
| 1947 Nash Ambassador Six Trunkback Sedan [4760] Ya tenemos coche (1958) | This is a '47, because of the upper grill and long chrome side ornament, as mentioned above. But the rear fender does have the lower cutout, (notice the full wheel cutout on the front fender), indicating that it is not an Ambassador. So that makes it a '47 600 trunkback sedan. (All Nashes in the immediate post war years were sixes.) | 2011-09-05 09:05 | |
| 1946 Nash Ambassador [4668] The Bad and the Beautiful (1952) | It's a '46 Ambassador. The '46s had the upper grill a little narrower than the '47s and '48s. The rear fenders were different on the 600s, and yes, they almost covered the wheels. | 2011-09-05 08:53 | |
| 1949 Nash Ambassador Mischief (1985) | The car in the background is a '56 Dodge. | 2011-09-05 08:46 | |
| 1949 Nash Ambassador Walk the Line (2005) | The '50s had a slightly larger rear window, but it's hard to tell in this photo which one it is. My guess, too, is that it's an Ambassador Custom, as that seems to be the script above the chrome between the tail lights. | 2011-09-05 08:44 | |
| 1948 Nash Ambassador Six Brougham Two-Door Sedan 6-Passenger [4963] The Hoodlum (1951) | The one on the left is a '50, because of the larger rear window. No way of telling if it was the rare Brougham model or not without seeing the interior, which had the two rear seats slightly facing each other. The one on the right is a '51 Ambassador. | 2011-09-05 08:33 |
