| 1956 Studebaker Sky Hawk À bout de souffle (1960) |
It's a hardtop and appears to have no fins at all, so listing as Sky. -- Last edit: 2010-03-05 22:46:06 |

| 1956 Studebaker Hawk Yank Tanks (2002) |
Looks to me like a Golden Hawk with its fins clipped off. Rear deck nameplate on left appears too long to say "Sky". -- Last edit: 2013-03-05 05:02:49 |

| 1956 Studebaker Hawk Une femme est une femme (1961) |
Interesting. I can see the "check" mark side trim which would make this a Sky or Golden Hawk yet it does appear to have the "B" post, indicative of a Power or Flight Hawk. Perhaps the blurry photos just makes it appear to have a post. |

| 1956 Studebaker Flight Hawk The Champions (1968) | They also each have their respective nameplates on the trunk lid. | 2010-03-05 22:27 | |
| 1955 Studebaker Champion De Luxe Four-Door Sedan Follow That Dream (1962) |
I only see one door handle. This Studebaker has been modified. Note non-stock 2-toning. Will go with Champion as I see no rear fender nameplate. |
2010-03-05 18:04 | |
| 1942 De Soto Custom 5-Passenger Sedan [S-10] The Postman Always Rings Twice (1946) | And an excellent quality photo as well. | 2010-03-05 17:37 | |
| 1959 Chevrolet Corvette Heavy Metal (1981) | I know of no exterior difference between '59 and '60 Corvettes. | 2010-03-05 17:25 | |
| 1955 Studebaker Eegah (1962) |
After further review, I feel listing should be changed to 1955. The rear nameplate looks too high to be a '53 and best I can tell, the taillamps look to be of the shorter, fatter '55 style. |
2010-03-05 02:53 | |
| 1977 Dodge Monaco The Spirit (1987) | Looks like '77 to '78 style from here. | 2010-03-04 22:56 | |
| 1969 Checker Taxicab [A11] The Spirit (1987) |
Older style bumpers but smaller side markers/reflectors. I would say '68 to '70. |
2010-03-04 22:55 | |
| 1951 Studebaker Threesome (1994) | Scotsman name was not used until 1957. | 2010-03-04 20:11 | |
| 1951 Studebaker I dur och skur (1953) |
Odds do favor Champion as all of them had fender top ornaments as optional only while both Commander States and Land Cruisers had them standard. (They were also optional on Commander Regals.) But we cannot say for sure so will just list as "1951 Studebaker". -- Last edit: 2011-07-21 22:33:20 |

| 1949 Studebaker Commander Regal De Luxe Convertible Un americano a Roma (1954) |
No, sorry. Notice the taillamp lenses divided into 4 sections by chrome overlay = Commander. (Champion lenses were in 2 sections.) Bumper appears wrap-around so will also change to 1949. |
2010-03-03 23:32 | |
| 1977 Checker Taxicab [A11] Friends (1994-2004) | But we can pin this one down to '77 to '82 owing to the tandem windshield wiper pattern. | 2010-03-03 18:25 | |
| 1975 Lincoln Continental Town Car [53B] The Rockford Files (1974-1980) |
Didn't notice year of episode. Highly unlikely to be a '76, then. |
2010-03-03 02:34 | |
| 1976 Lincoln Continental [53B] Nowhere to Hide (1987) |
No. 1975 or 1976, per grille. |
2010-03-03 00:37 | |
| 1975 Cadillac Fleetwood Eldorado The Rockford Files (1974-1980) | Nice pix. | 2010-03-02 22:00 | |
| 1975 Lincoln Continental Town Car [53B] The Rockford Files (1974-1980) |
Can't pin it to that one year from view shown. 1975 to 1977 range. ('78's and '79's did not have rear fender skirts) -- Last edit: 2010-03-02 21:55:53 |
2010-03-02 21:54 | |
| 1982 Lincoln Town Car Captivity (2007) |
I would say '81 to '83 range. Reason: 1980's had "Continental" written over the LF headlamp panel and the nameplate on the pictured car looks too short. 1984's had no nameplate there at all. '81-'83's had "Town Car" written at that location. -- Last edit: 2010-03-02 20:51:30 |
2010-03-02 20:51 | |
| 1979 Lincoln Versailles [54M] Le jumeau (1984) | Agreed. | 2010-03-02 20:43 | |
| 1929 Donnet 14 CV Six 2,5 Litres Boris Vian, la vie jazz (2009) | Does not look like a Packard to me. | 2010-03-02 20:42 | |
| 1939 Packard Six Convertible Coupe [1700] Boris Vian, la vie jazz (2009) |
This should be either a '38 or a '39 per divided windshield but no side grilles. -- Last edit: 2010-03-02 20:41:07 |
2010-03-02 20:40 | |
| 1966 Ford Custom Four-Door Sedan [54E] The Invaders (1967-1968) |
1966 models had the horizontal grille split. Changing to 1966. |
2010-03-02 20:38 | |
| 1955 Studebaker Champion Custom Four-Door Sedan The Mod Squad (1968-1973) |
Well, let's see. We owned a 1951 Studebaker from '51 to '62; a '57 Plymouth until '61; a '64 Cadillac until about 1995; yes, a '72 LTD until 1975; a '75 Buick until 1982; an '82 Buick until 1987; and an '87 Olds Delta 88 until 1993. None of them ever had any "rust holes" and they all gave good service to 100,000 miles plus. I can specifically recall the seat upholstery on the '75 Buick with 100,000 + miles having no sign of wear whatsoever even on the driver's seat. Likewise, we currently have a 1993 Olds Van (well over 100,000 miles) with seats that look brand new and not a fleck of rust on the car anywhere (and it has never been garaged kept). We always gave our cars good care, serviced them at proper intervals and they gave excellent service. |

| 1964 Chevrolet C-Series Critters 3 (1991) | Grille looks '64 to '66 to me. | 2010-02-28 15:59 | |
| 1962 Studebaker Lark Daytona American Graffiti (1973) |
Tough one. Can't really tell enough to justify change. OK as is pending any better photo. |
2010-02-28 01:41 | |
| 1962 Studebaker Lark Love Field (1992) | 1962 appears correct. | 2010-02-28 01:39 | |
| 1962 Studebaker Lark Cruiser American Graffiti (1973) | And appears to be Cruiser with rear side window vents. | 2010-02-28 01:37 | |
| 1962 Studebaker Lark Move Over, Darling (1963) |
Yes. Nice front end shot despite blurriness. |
2010-02-28 01:36 | |
| 1962 Studebaker Lark Bullitt (1968) | Yes, per side trim. | 2010-02-28 01:35 | |
| 1962 Studebaker Lark De Luxe Fright Night (1985) | Yes, enough key points here to confirm as '62 Lark. | 2010-02-28 01:35 | |
| 1962 Studebaker Lark Daytona Hardtop Coupe Flags of Our Fathers (2006) | Correct ID. | 2010-02-28 01:33 | |
| 1962 Studebaker Lark Cruiser Eight Special Dead (2006) | Right. | 2010-02-28 01:33 | |
| 1963 Studebaker Lark Wagonaire McMillan & Wife (1971-1977) |
Yep, those high mounted taillamps, crease for the sliding roof and old style front fender contour = 1963. Too blurry to tell trim line. |
2010-02-28 01:29 | |
| 1963 Studebaker Lark Wagonaire Sleepers (1996) |
With that stark trim and no indication of a hood ornament or side spear, this could be a Studebaker Standard Wagonaire (which carried no Lark badging). Not sure enough though to change. |
2010-02-28 01:27 | |
| 1963 Studebaker Lark Regal Taken (2002) |
Wish this was a tad clearer. Is that the "knife edge" (Custom) trim piece below the side spear on the rear fender or just a reflection? Leaving as Regal for now. |
2010-02-28 01:25 | |
| 1963 Studebaker Lark Custom [Y6] The Twilight Zone (1959-1964) | Custom trim line. Note side spear with short "knife edge" below it on rear fender. | 2010-02-28 01:22 | |
| 1963 Studebaker Lark Regal Frankenstein Meets the Spacemonster (1965) | Regal trim line: Straight, narrow full length chrome side spear. | 2010-02-28 01:21 | |
| 1963 Studebaker Lark Just for the Hell of It (1968) | Agreed, based on limited view. | 2010-02-28 01:20 | |
| 1963 Studebaker Lark Custom The Partridge Family (1970-1974) | Yep, that little "knife edge" trim is the giveaway for the custom trim level. | 2010-02-28 01:17 | |
| 1963 Studebaker Lark Regal The Gruesome Twosome (1967) | Yes. Lark Regal per narrow, even, full length side spear. | 2010-02-28 01:14 | |
| 1963 Studebaker Lark Days of Fury (1979) |
Best I can tell, anyway! Rear window area looks wrong but could be the terrible photo quality. |
2010-02-28 01:12 | |
| 1963 Studebaker Lark Daytona Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004) | For the sake of full accuracy, changing this from Studebaker Daytona to Studebaker Lark Daytona. | 2010-02-28 01:10 | |
| 1955 Studebaker Champion Custom Four-Door Sedan The Mod Squad (1968-1973) |
I think some of the above comments are exaggerated. Cars usually last as long as their owners are willing to take care of them. Rustproofing has indeed advanced considerably in the last 30-40 years but I would say the engine in a '60's or older car, using modern oils/additives, would last just as long as modern ones. I ran my '57 Studebaker until the mid 1990's with virtually no problems but I made sure it had proper care. Two reasons you saw so many new cars in older movies was product placement and the fact styling changed so rapidly back then that the cars looked dated more rapidly and so weren't used. Compare the visual changes in a 1950 vs 1960 model Ford to 2000 vs 2010 models. No car to my knowledge was "designed" to last 5 years, then be thrown away. (OK, well maybe the Yugo!) Any company that deliberately built its cars to fall apart in 5 years wouldn't stay in business long. When I was a teenager in the mid-'70's, there were LOTS of cars 1960 and older on the road. I know because I was an old car entusiast and watched for them! |

| 1949 Buick Super Four-Door Sedan [51] The Super (1991) |
There was a 1949 Buick Special but it used carryover bodies from 1948 (much like the way Cadillac carried over '46 bodies to the '47, '48 and '49 Series 75.) -- Last edit: 2010-02-27 16:02:10 |
2010-02-27 16:00 | |
| 1960 Studebaker Lark Wagon In Cold Blood (1996) |
Per thumbnail = 4-doors so cannot be a '59. Changing to 1960. |
2010-02-26 23:06 | |
| 1960 Studebaker Lark Regal With Six You Get Eggroll (1968) | 1960 Regal, per low/center grille emblem mount (1960) and chrome around grille and headlamp rims (Regal feature). | 2010-02-26 22:57 | |
| 1961 Studebaker Lark La batalla de Chile: La lucha de un pueblo sin armas - 3 (1979) | Upper rear door section and rear window look enough like the '61 restyle I am changing this to 1961. | 2010-02-26 22:53 | |
| 1942 De Soto Custom 5-Passenger Sedan [S-8] The Thin Man Goes Home (1945) |
There were no American built cars for domestic sale from about Feb or March of 1942 until the summer of 1945. As such, there is no such thing as a "1943", "1944" or "1945" model year civilian car. Interesting '42 Desoto pix. Don't think I have ever seen one with its headlamp doors open before. |
2010-02-26 17:48 | |
| 1962 Studebaker Lark Regal Mister Ed (1961-1966) | Regal 2-door hardtop rather than a Daytona per simpler style of side trim. | 2010-02-26 00:40 |
