1955 Pontiac Star Chief [28] I Love Lucy (1951-1957)	puterboy1	62imperial wrote I've seen a color photo taken on the set that shows it was definitely two-tone light and dark green. A white car would probably have been too bright for the way they were filming in black and white (even the appliances in the Ricardos' kitchen were painted light blue rather than white). Where did you see this color photo?	2013-03-27 01:14

1924 Cadillac V-63 Touring Car I Love Lucy (1951-1957)	regency98us	My friend was recently in Florida at a classic car show, and this very car was there. It is un-restored and original as it was on I Love Lucy, and has photographs and information from the show on display as well. He was so excited to see this original car and it was great that they saved it as a memento of this episode.	2012-01-31 00:28

1953 Studebaker Starlight Regal I Love Lucy (1951-1957)	Commander 57	Appears to have broad W/S trim = Regal. Agreed, too far away to see if it has Commander or Champion badges on the quarter panels. -- Last edit: 2011-10-12 03:02:06	2010-02-15 15:58
1955 Pontiac Star Chief [28] I Love Lucy (1951-1957)	chicomarx	According to this: http://money.cnn.com/2004/01/16/pf/autos/scottsdale/index.htm This car was on auction in 2004, but the colors would have to be reversed. "A 1955 Pontiac Star Chief convertible used in several episodes of the show "I Love Lucy" will be auctioned by Barrett-Jackson. In the show, the car belonged to Ricky Ricardo (Desi Arnaz), who used it to give driving lessons to his wife, Lucy (Lucille Ball, for those of you only recently emerging from a lifetime spent in a very deep cave). The car later performed on-camera in an episode that saw the Ricardos and their neighbors, the Mertzes -- extra points if you know who played them -- drive cross-country to California."

1929 Harley-Davidson Model DL I Love Lucy (1951-1957)	nzcarnerd	I first thought this was a WW2 era WL model but some details didn't match. I think it is a Model DL 750cc from about 1929. Needs an expert to confirm. http://motorbike-search-engine.co.uk/classic_bikes/harley_davidson_29dl.jpg -- Last edit: 2009-08-25 22:56:51	2009-08-25 22:56
1929 Harley-Davidson Model DL I Love Lucy (1951-1957)	tv boy	Episode 5.4, "Ricky Sells the Car," is about how Ricky chooses to sell the Pontiac he, Lucy, Fred and Ethel used to drive to California. This leaves Fred and Ethel thinking they're stranded so Fred buys this motorcycle. They show it off briefly before wrecking it off camera. I don't know the year or model but a Lucy fansite says it's a Harley. And it was already old when this episode first aired in the Fall of 1955.	2009-08-25 14:13

1955 Pontiac Star Chief [28] I Love Lucy (1951-1957)	tv boy	Red & white? No kidding. Personally I always thought the "light" color looked a little too dark to be white, but then again GM used a lot of off-white, ivory shades in those days for their "white" cars and trucks.	2009-05-25 16:41
1955 Pontiac Star Chief [28] I Love Lucy (1951-1957)	jage750	According to the website www.tvacres.com: "When Ricky and Lucy Ricardo (Desi Arnaz/Lucille Ball) take a cross country trip from New York to California on episode #110 "California, Here We Come" (January 10, 1955) they drive a red & white 1955 Pontiac convertible passenger car. It had 180 horse power and an automatic transmission." - JJ	2009-05-23 05:55
1955 Pontiac Star Chief [28] I Love Lucy (1951-1957)	tv boy	BTW notice the shots inside the TV studio, the car has no windshield, but in the location establishers it does? Evidently there was an issue with the window reflecting studio lights.	2009-05-22 13:50
1955 Pontiac Star Chief [28] I Love Lucy (1951-1957)	tv boy	I could've sworn, when Lucy, Fred and Ethel are all seeing it for the first time, Ethel makes some reference to it being green. Personally I always assumed it was dark blue over light blue.	2009-05-22 13:49
1957 Ford Fairlane 500 I Love Lucy (1951-1957)	tv boy	This is an integrated commercial that ran one time in one spring 1957 episode, when Ford sponsored "I Love Lucy." Fred and Ethel sing a Ford jingle set to the tune of "Singing the Blues," and do a soft shoe number. It's here because it's an extra on the "Lucy" season 6 DVD set.	2009-05-21 15:36
1957 Ford Fairlane 500 Skyliner Retractable Hardtop [51A] I Love Lucy (1951-1957)	tv boy	This is an integrated commercial that ran one time in one spring 1957 episode, when Ford sponsored "I Love Lucy." Lucy and Ricky appear in character as Lucy describes the retractable hardtop over the phone to Ricky. It's here because it's an extra on the "Lucy" season 6 DVD set.	2009-05-21 15:27

1924 Cadillac V-63 Touring Car I Love Lucy (1951-1957)	mrcadillac	The Cadillac V-63 was introduced in September of 1923 but was current, really, in 1924 and 1925. This is the large, open touring car for 7-pass.	2009-05-15 22:42

1955 Cadillac Fleetwood 60 Special [6019] I Love Lucy (1951-1957)	DynaMike	By the silver streak on the rear I'd say it's rather a Pontiac Streamliner. Not sure wether a 1942 or a 1946/47, though.	2009-05-15 15:30
1953 Studebaker Starlight Regal I Love Lucy (1951-1957)	DynaMike	Nice, that makes it a Starlight. Still impossible to distinguish between Champion and Commander, though.	2009-05-15 15:07
1955 Cadillac Fleetwood 60 Special [6019] I Love Lucy (1951-1957)	tv boy	Headed the opposite direction: late 1940s Chevy?	2009-05-15 15:00
1953 Studebaker Starlight Regal I Love Lucy (1951-1957)	tv boy	I think sometimes, film crews will surround their "featured" car with their own, other cars in real traffic, as a form of traffic control, and this Studebaker may have been one of those cars. If that's the case, then this may be an alternate shot of the same car. Note that it has a sedan post:	2009-05-15 14:55

I Love Lucy (1951-1957)	tv boy	Ford sponsored a few episodes of the show late in its final season, Spring 1957. Look closely in the very last episode and you'll see a piece of a '57 Ford. -- Last edit: 2009-05-15 06:57:16	2009-05-15 06:55
1955 Pontiac Star Chief [28] I Love Lucy (1951-1957)	tv boy	This was definitely a four star vehicle, it's how they got to Hollywood and was used extensively in four different episodes in 1955. -- Last edit: 2013-03-28 04:23:40	2009-05-15 06:54

1953 Studebaker Starlight Regal I Love Lucy (1951-1957)	DynaMike	Well, 1953 had only a small horizontal bar (not very well visible) in the grilles, whereas the 1954 had well visible egg-crate chrome grilles (plus higher overriders).	2009-05-14 20:54
1953 Studebaker Starlight Regal I Love Lucy (1951-1957)	DynaMike	'Empty' grilles and very low overriders: 1953 only. I guess the two-tone paint makes it a Regal trim level. But no way to distinguish on this photo between the L6 Champion or the V8 Commander, nor between the pillared Starlight or the hardtop Starliner...	2009-05-14 20:48
1955 Cadillac Fleetwood 60 Special [6019] I Love Lucy (1951-1957)	DynaMike	I'd go for Sixty Special [6019] indeed.	2009-05-14 20:36
1949 Dodge Wayfarer [D-29] I Love Lucy (1951-1957)	DynaMike	Though the pic seem to be a bit too low I'm pretty sure this is a 1949 Wayfarer: side strip is not continued on the door, there's no space for a side window behind the door, distance between door and rear fender is quite short. 1949 by the grille, therefore [D-29].	2009-05-14 20:34
