nzcarnerd ◊ 2009-02-27 20:03	I have looked thorugh many Cadillac pics and this car doesn't match any. I am tending toward thinking it is a 1933 Buick Series 80 Victoria - the last year for this series, it used a 130"wb (the series 90 was on a 138"wb in 1933). I haven't yet found a rear end pic of one to confirm the style with the three hinges. The car on the right that we can see the hood ornament and the chrome headlight of is a 1934-5 big series Buick.
nzcarnerd ◊ 2009-02-28 09:45	Here we go, I think this one is a series 50 - http://mecum.com/auctions/lot_detail.cfm?LOT_ID=FL0109-77205 - it looks too small to be a big series car. It is a hot rod but the body is stock. This one - http://www.classicluxurycars.com/photogallery/1933BuickMdl68/IMG_7768_med.JPG - is a series 60. Interesting that it appears to have vent windows in the back. The book 70 Years of Buick states that the Victorias didn't have vent windows at the back. I suspect that the rear windows didn't wind down very far because they would foul the rear fenders. The car in this movie is either a series 60 or an 80. -- Last edit: 2009-02-28 23:06:57
