 Not a '53; not a Sedan de Ville, I'd say 1952; I'd add "Series Sixty Special on account of the hash marks on the lower part of the rear fender (all in all, poor photo).

 The front end is definitely 1953.

Here are two more close-up shots (the full view does not get any better in the movie).

And here are the front masks for '52 and '53:

Therefore it is a 1953 Cadillac Series 60 Sedan.
The bit "de Ville" is debatable. I only found that on one web-page:

 You are right; I apolgize. The image is so poor I took the "Dagmar" bumper-guards to be grille-mounted parking lights. It is, as I said previously, a "Series 60 Special" sedan(hash-marks on rear fenders). There was no "Series 60" in 1953. The "Series 60 Special" became a unique, separate model in the Cadillac range, starting in 1938.

 Those bumper guards are called "Dagmar"??? Is that official or did someone phrase that name thinking of a size-D bra? :p

Two more questions to the specialist:

So far I have not found the bit about "Special". Have you got some more information on that subject?
On one page (http://www.car-nection.com/cadillacdatabase/Dbas_txt/Cad51-55.htm) they are called "60S", on another page (http://www.pevomuc.de/100-Cadillac/PECAAR.05/1953-A/1953-1.html) only "Sixty".

That brings me to the second question: What is the official way to write it: "60" or "Sixty"?
Some days ago we had the same discussion about Chevrolets ("Two-Ten" and "One-Fifty" models).

 All Cadillacs are written with number on the site currently, and since MrCadillac also uses numbers (and seems to be a specialist :D) I followed him for that ;)
When people do a search (in Google or on the site) I think that they will more often type "Series 60" than "Series Sixty"

 Either is correct: "60" or "Sixty", "60-S", "60S" or "Sixty Special". Technically, when the first "Sixty Special" appeared on the scene, in 1938 - thanks to Bill Mitchell, it was then un upscale "Series 60". But thereafter it became a full-fledged model in its own right, especially after the "Series 60" disappeard from the scene in 1939. It is definitely WRONG to call a "Sixty Special" simply a "Sixty". Go tell Peter Vogel ["pevomuc.de"] from me! BTW, "his" pages are full of images off "my" web site!)
