Additional info (copied from the forum): This is another car not shown yet on the Animal House page. It is a 1958 Chevy in the driveway of Mayor Carmine DePasto. It is only seen briefly when Pinto brings Clorette DePasto home from the Toga party in a grocery cart. Curiously, the mayor claims later in the film to own the Oldsmobile dealership in town. The timeframe is about October of 1962, so the 1963 models would be available, meaning he was driving a five-year-old car of a different make. Rather odd for someone who owns a new car dealership. |

I'll replace this with a better picture sometime. There are other background cars I've not shown in this film, I tend to draw the line at putting up every single car that appears in a film, I feel it can detract from the more important cars featured. I know I put those dark pictures where the cars were hard to see, but I tend them because they got slammed into by the Lincoln Continental, all the cars you see in car parks and in streets (except for the cars in front of Delta House) I've not bothered with. I think I considered putting this car in at one point, but I probably couldn't be bothered. I agree with what you said, that Mayor should have had a Cadillac or something. -- Last edit: 2012-07-30 04:22:16 |

Don't worry, we do need to have so many background cars if they are not shown very well in the picture. It is just that I found the story about this car nice, so it is actually more about the curiousity then about the car itself... .gif ":)") |

It's probably just an oversight, they needed a car in the driveway, it wasn't important. If the Mayor had driven it, then maybe they would have picked something different. |

Probably a Bel Air, Impala would have six tail lights and the Delray wouldnt have this much chrome trim. |

Not only is he driving a Chevy, but in the one shot of the inside of his dealership, there are big Ford logos painted on the walls. |

Looks like 2-Door Sedan body style to me  |
