1954 Cadillac/Oldsmobile Custom Movie Car

No. 093 of 217

At a glance, you may think you know the make and model of this 1954 car... but look a little closer. This car is one-of-a-kind and was produced for the 1977 movie The Late Show, a mystery staring Art Carney and Lily Tomlin. The front end of this convertible is a

1954 Oldsmobile 98 Starfire and the rear is a 1954 Cadillac El Dorado.

Curiously, The Late Show is set in 1951 and 1952 although both cars used to construct this vehicle were from the 1954 model year. This did not go unnoticed by moviegoers.
