Sorry, "Polyester" & "Desperate Living" are in the same DVD box and I got confused. It's much safer to make a mistake on your income tax form than it is to post one on here.

In this clip, we see a rather lecherous man driving an Edsel Villager station wagon and picking up Dawn Davenport (Divine). She's rather upset over not getting her so wanted shoes with cha cha heels for Christmas.

928
there is the 928 porsche driven by Tom Cruise in "risky buisness";noticed the one
that went in the drink had rusty rotors and seemed to be sitting a little high in
front(no engine apparently)The 928 engine sound in the movie was authentic though.

P.S. VACATION flick:
I forgot:
If there's one thing better than the WagonQueen Family Truckster on VACATION, then it's definitely the Oldsmobile Cutlass Vista Cruiser that sadly goes to the crusher, right when the Griswolds are disappointed in the new station wagon & want to go back to the old wagon, which they can no longer drive!

For an even more obscure reference, the Norwegian film O'Horton features a DS driving around Oslo (with a blindfolded driver who dies at a stop light).

Dagmars . . . lots of 'em
Here's a pic of British film and TV star Diana Dors in front of the famous Pinewood Studios in England with her '56 Coupe de Ville convertible. I'm not sure if she ever used it onscreen, but she was known for having distinctive luxury cars . . . I'm sure it was more than a little distinctive in mid '50s England. Somewhere I saw a press photo of Diana and friends driving down a tiny country lane in the Caddy which completely obscured the road below, heaven forbid if even an Austin Seven had tried to squeeze past her!

oh lord! another one of Twintub's stories...
That photo of Diana Dors reminds me of a similar shot of the late Hollywood "star" Dagmar. Down the street from me is an aging mobile home park called The Colony (occasionally people remove the "Y" from the stone wall at the entrance.) When built decades ago it was strictly high-class. You had to have sizable assets in order to slap a home on one of the rented spaces. Lesser-known movie stars had winter bungalows there, including the "well-endowed" Dagmar. The Colony had two white Rolls Royces similar to the one us oldsters remember from "Burke's Law." The cars were used for picking up residents at the airport...one for people and one for luggage. There's a great photo of Dagmar next to the Rolls in a tight white gown and a fur over her shoulders displayed in the Colony's once elaborate clubhouse. I have a few friends that own "trailers" (god they hate that word) in the park and it's rather nice, but sadly the Rolls are long-gone along with the stars and VIP's that once rode in them.
Here's an old publicity shot of Dagmar looking very much like the front of Perry Mason's Cadillac which I posted elsewhere on this thread.

Hazel's boss Mr. B in his 1964 Ford Galaxy XL convertible...the "XL" stood for "Extra Luxury"...such a pretty car.

My favorites are the Starsky & Hutch Ford Gran Torino, and Ward Cleaver's 1959 & 1960 Plymouths.
The Orion III (2001)
Andy Griffith's recent passing reminded me:
There's the Ford Galaxie 500 Squad car on the ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW! And all those other classic Ford vehicles (and an occasional Lincoln) which were often mostly TRUCKS!
Of course, fast forward to the Ford LTD Crown Victoria on MATLOCK--Andy drove that, too!

Now this wasn't one of Stephen King's best as far as him directing, but the movie wasn't THAT bad. Especially when the first time you see it is when you're 7 years old at the drive in. This movie spooked me as a kid lol.
