mozinor ◊ 2005-03-31 00:45	cadillac peu discrete que se paye un des membres du gang a la suite du braquage et dans laquelle il sera retrouvé plus tard etranglé , au coté de sa femme
Benzilla ◊ 2006-08-28 05:15	Is that a Mary Kay?
carobserver ◊ 2007-02-18 20:33	in this scene starts to play the song "Layla" of Clapton -- Last edit: 2007-02-18 20:33:40
stpaulcarguy ◊ 2007-03-20 05:29	PINK!!!!! thats a hell of a mean thing to do to such a beautifull car.
car nerd ◊ 2007-03-20 05:32	I think that was a production color. I remember seeing a few around town
Benzilla ◊ 2007-05-11 04:24	It wasn't a Cadillac production color. I have a 1979 color brochure, the only way it could have been original if it was one of about 5 Mary Kay special ordered Coupe DeVille's. Odds are it's custom. Mary Kay's were a lighter pink called Mountain Laural.
G-MANN ◊ 2007-08-02 16:16	The factory sticker's still on it!
stpaulcarguy ◊ 2008-03-16 23:57	I dont know whats worse the red blood all over the interior or the pink paint all over the exterior.
Andrew Nicholson ◊ 2010-08-12 22:05	Pink Paint is worse cars look more masculine with blood on them but it doesn't work on crap cars
Kooshmeister ◊ 2010-08-12 22:07	It isn't meant to look masculine. As I recall, the guy bought it for his wife.
portacker ◊ 2011-02-26 02:25	"It's a Coupe. I love that car". "It's in my mother's name". -- Last edit: 2011-02-26 02:28:02
Commander 57 ◊ 2011-02-26 03:11	Looks like it's owned by the Pepto-Bismol company.
maxman ◊ 2012-07-20 10:19	Didn't that scene take place in Christmas 1977 or '78?
jettalover ◊ 2012-07-22 06:00	No, scene takes place near end of movie, circa 1980.
maxman ◊ 2013-02-08 23:08	Actually, I checked, and the Lufthansa Heist was in December 1978, and this scene was in March of 1979. What you're thinking of is the June 11, 1980 scene at the end. This is Louis Cafora's car, but in real life it was a Fleetwood, not a DeVille. His and his wife's bodies were also never found, unlike as portrayed here, murdered in the front seat of their car. Though he did in fact drive it to a gang meeting just blocks from the JFK Air Cargo Centre where the FBI were investigating the heist. -- Last edit: 2013-02-08 23:10:05

Yeah, Lou Cafora had used his share from the heist to buy that car for his wife, Joanna, his role in the heist were to have some of the money laundered through his "legitimate" business which were a series of parking lots that he owned in Brooklyn. According to FBI and NYPD reports, within days of the heist, Lou Cafora had disobey his associate, Jimmy Burke's (Lead man and planner) orders about keeping a low profile since he was using his share for his lifestyle.... that and he kept speaking to his wife about his business with the gang. This led Burke to kill both of them. -- Last edit: 2016-02-19 15:50:41

dsl ◊ 2015-03-08 14:55	I say pink paint - blood will eventually wash off, but if you've got pink paint, you're stuck with it.
jpts ◊ 2015-03-10 14:14	dsl wrote I say pink paint - blood will eventually wash off, but if you've got pink paint, you're stuck with it. I rather stick with the car's pink paint than someone's brain matter throughout the interior of such a nice car and beside the paint job is my type of pink. -- Last edit: 2015-03-12 14:21:18
jpts ◊ 2015-03-10 14:21	G-MANN wrote The factory sticker's still on it! Supposed to show what would happen if you disobey orders from a gang that will kill their own for any minor screw-ups, including indiscreet spending. -- Last edit: 2015-12-20 06:03:54
jettalover ◊ 2015-03-12 05:24	Minor? It was a one of the major mistakes that caught the attention of law enforcement.
rtsbusman1997 ◊ 2015-03-12 06:49	Wonton spending and leaving the factory sticker on the window are more than minor mistakes, mate.
jpts ◊ 2015-03-12 13:47	Still, it's a nice car to own and I would like to have this car in that colour. -- Last edit: 2015-03-12 13:48:04
Kowalski ◊ 2017-12-19 11:07	It's a beautiful car ruined with a stupid colour.
Commander 57 ◊ 2017-12-19 14:33	I couldn't agree more.
transamdude ◊ 2021-09-01 16:08	What's up with all the hate for color pink? I think it's a cool color! You know what car color sucks? Brown!
J-2 ◊ 2024-09-06 14:35	I was able to read a bit through the factory sticker in 4K quality, I think they listed it as a 1983 and the color being a factory choice 'Flamingo Pink' but obviously all made for the film. Quite detailed for the few seconds it was shown.
