Movie Cars Website

Here's an interesting website...I don't recall if anyone has posted a link yet. Cars in the movies (over the years) listed by make. http://www.imcdb.org/



There are some Hudsons, but most of them seem to be in 'latter day' movies, few actually were used in films 'of the era'.

That isn't a 54 in the movie Diner, has to be a 52 or 53. A friend here at work said he saw a movie the other night called Prizefighter and he swore up and down it had a 54 Hornet in it. I have never heard of the movie.

There's at least 3 movies I could think of right away that weren't listed for Hudson. Porky's, F.I.S.T., and Hoffa.

Great website.

In the movie Diner you see a green 54 sitting parked and a 53 two tone brown driving. Lots of the Hudsons are misslabeled on that site.



The movie Pleasantville has a Jet and Hornet in it as well.

One of the biggest car movies ever, American Graffitti, has a black Hornet in the opening scene at the drive in. There is only a flash of it but look and you will see the front right fender and Hornet insignia. Niels

Oh Jeez, Porky's....

Someone in my household was watching that movie about a month ago.

I came into the living room and saw that God-awful pink Hornet on the TV. What an offense to the eyeballs!

Who can forget Driving Miss Daisy,--- 49 (48?) Maroon commador I didn't see it in the website. Very prominent in the beginning, until she got a -- gasp-- Cadillac.

They didn't list Laverne and Shirley's stepdown convertible.

This is an interesting subject. Barry Levinson, who directed "Diner" and "Driving Miss Daisy" is a well-known Hudson lover. Another of his pictures, "Avalon" is a great one. Armin Mueller-Stahl's family car, his pride and joy, is a '30's Hudson. There's also "The Two Jakes," sequel to "Chinatown," (not directed by Levinson) which features Jack Nicholson in a '47 Hudson (Bill Albright supplied) and a stepdown. There are many others not listed...

Hi everyone. In the movie "Tora Tora Tora" the Japanese Ambassador's car was my 36 Hudson not mentioned at the website. There was also a 36 Hudson that was in the first movie "Godfather" that was not shown.---Cliff Minard.

Cliff's right, but there was also a stepdown parked at a curb in one of the scenes in the "Godfather" . Also there was a stepdown taxi riding around in the street scenes of Washington in "The Day The Earth Stood Still".

Walk the line (i think)

The '36 in Avalon and the '52 ('53?) in Diner were owned by long time Cheaspeake Bay Chapter member Jim Boyle. Dixie Chapter's Herbert Bell still owns the Driving Miss Daisy '49 C8, and fellow Dixie member Roy McLean owns the '47 coupe used in last year's "Notebook." "Miss Daisy" is still lookin' fine, and runs great.

The cars in the Warren Beatty movie "Dick Tracy" were all "cartoonized," but the one he drove was based on a 1940 Hudson.
