How come most of the cars in this movie are Oldsmobiles? |

There is some weird rationale, as usual for Cohens, but I forgot it. The fact that Oldsmobiles became the staples of rental fleets could have also had its influence. |

Oh, and the movie is about an Oldsmobile salesman (among others, but he is the character that starts the whole plot) - still, there is a reason for which he is an Oldsmobile salesman (and not a salesman for another brand), but I've forgotten it ![]() |

Is it because Oldsmobile was a bit of a drab, middle-of-the-road, Mr Average brand (like Rover became in the UK) at that time? Jerry Lundegaard (William H. Macy) was supposed to be a hapless loser, if he sold Porsches that wouldn't really fit, would it? |

After Carl Showalter (Steve Buscemi) finally gets back to the cabin with the ransom money: Carl Showalter: Now I'll take the car, you can have my truck. Gaer Grimsrud (Peter Stormare): We split the car. Carl Showalter: How do you split a car, ya dummy? With a chainsaw?! Gaer Grimsrud: One of us pays the other for half. |

Another hint from IMDb's goofs page: Factual errors: The Olds Cutlass Ciera models shown in the car showroom are mid 90's models according to the trim pieces on them, and were possibly taken off of a real showroom floor during filming as brand new cars, 1996 was the last year these cars were in production but they still looked similar to 1980s models. |
