Coupe de Ville (1990) Mycroft USAt least one sequence of this movie was filmed in Pelzer, South Carolina. The scene at the diner where the characters eat and later get sick from. During the filming, there were three 1954 Cadillac convertibles used to portray the main "star car". There was a fourth Cadillac body (from the firewall back) which was mounted on a trailer to simulate driving shots.
Many local people brought their classic cars out to be used as background traffic. The highway (State Highway 29) was closed down for periods of time during which only the movie cars were allowed. At least one shot was ruined when a modern import pickup truck drove by in the background.
The gas station near the resturant was turned into an old ESSO station. During preparation, people pulled in to the station wanting to buy gasoline at mid-60's prices.

FredB NLIt definitely a Corsair Sedan. Not the 4-dr Hardtop. The 4-dr hardtop has a diferent roof line at the rearwindow corners. I know it for sure, I have owned a '59 4-dr hardtop. 2009-10-05 19:00

junkman ATThe '58 is a Coupe DeVille. The '60 has ben shunned off its side trim, hence you cannot tell if it's a DeVille, or Eldorado Seville. I don't care. I want both. 2007-04-18 13:22

Coupe de Ville (1990) wrenchhead USI noticed it mostly on the VW. 2007-04-06 17:38
Coupe de Ville (1990) antp BEActually 1.66 is for recent series or some TV-movies. Older TV stuff uses 1.33
I do not think that 1.38 is standard :??:
I think that most of the widescreen DVDs use 1.77 (16:9) including black borders. So if you capture from DVD and have black borders, you can most of the time resize to 1.77 and then cut the borders, if you do not want to worry about the right format - I haven't tested that, though.

The size error on these pictures is not so visible at first.
If you take
vehicle_98404-Volkswagen-1200.html
vehicle_10145-Cadillac-Series-62-1954.html
they may seem somewhat right, but a Cadillac should really be long actually. Once resized you notice that they look better.

Coupe de Ville (1990) wrenchhead USI also had a problem getting the ratio right when I started until Antp gave me these guidelines:
New wide screen = 2.35:1
Some Older wide stuff =1.85:1
TV = 1.66:1
real old stuff = 1.38:1
that really helped me.

These pics have a ratio of 1.95:1 (762x343 pixels) too tall.
They look OK at 2.35:1 (672x285 pixels)

Edit:

OOPS I made a typo - real old stuff should be 1:33:1

antp wrote Some do not notice when ratio is wrong :D In this case, the pics are indeed "too high".


Well then I must be one of them. I recently bought a new wide 19" display and the pictures look good. Maybe I've watched these pictures too long. Ratio of movie is 16:9 and I divided the height of the picture by 1.25. I don't know what to do anymore.

Sorry, but this one has four taillights, making it either a Biscayne or Bel Air. Furthmermore, Chevrolet police cars of that period tended to be Biscaynes.
