Is it possible to I.D. the car based on the hood ornament? Looks like some kind of big cat...
Now that's a shame... Talking about the car, of course
Elvis with his Rolls Royce
Absolutely, Elvis goes with Cadillacs - a late fifties or early sixties Eldorado convertible.
Here is a picture of a 1932 Lincoln Phaeton like the one Thelma Todd drove:
About 5 years ago, I was cruising down a rural Maryland road with my brother-in-law, and we approached a yellow Auburn Boat-tail out for a cruise ahead of us. As the Auburns were only built by direct commission, and were never a production car (the production car was the Cord), there's always a good story behind one. As we were the only ones on the road, I pulled alongside the car, and asked the owner if he'd mind very much if he'd pull over so we could look at it, and he was happy to oblige. He was an older fella, out with his wife, and was happy to show off his unique auto.
I asked how much it was worth, (it was in very good condition, but not restored), and he said about $800,000.00 as is. He also said he was in negotiations with a movie company that wanted to use the car, and if he got his way, the charge for their use of the car would be a full restoration, about $200,000.00. Before I could ask him if he knew who the car had been commissioned for, he told me to look at the silver plate on the dash. It read "Commissioned for Mr. James M. Stewart", and included a date of I think sometime in 1937. The man said "Yup, it was Jimmy Stewart's car."
