Do you know the Muppet Studebaker has now been delivered to South Bend
and will be displayed in The Studebaker National Museum? I understand
it's a little dirty and shopworn, but intact. BP

"LA Confidential" has a Speedster in it. The car is owned by the
character who is an actor and doesn't appear until the last half of
the movie but there are some good shots of it.
"OC And Stiggs" has a 4 door 50 in it that was placed on a 4x4 truck
chassis. It was directed by Robert Altman and although it never saw
theatrical release, it is available on video. I bought a used copy on
eBay. This is NOT a great movie and they pretty much destroy the
Stude so don't watch it if you hate that kind of stuff. The King
Sunny Ade' soundtrack is a plus.
"American Graffitti" (duh) has a '55 that appears in it several times.
I'll see if I can find some screen shots.

"Crazy Mama" has a good chase with Stu Whitman rolling and burning a machine
gunned Silver Hawk. Also some good Packard footage as Cloris Leachman's getaway
car.
"Mischief" has a 1950 Champion as the main character's ride. It gets into a demo
derby type encounter with a 57 Chebby and (sob) tears hell out of the Chebby.
The first "Superman" has a very brief shot of the front end of a Hawk.
"Streets of Fire" I think, used 1950/51 Studes as cop cars. Stupid boring,
movie.

the main street near the town square/court house in the past (1954?)
The Stude is in every scene that shows that 1954 view of main street
in both movies. Look for it when the Delorean races down main street
before leaping back to the Future.

I recently saw the end of a real bad Richard Gere movie "Intersection"
I think was the name. Near the end there is a 2R5 being driven by the
wise old grandfather and granddaughter, delivering muffins. Did not
make any since to me but I didn't see the whole movie.
The truck is a bit beatup but looked like it would make a good
project.

Studebaker DEALERSHIP on the left side of the street at the end of that
block. If you look carefully you can make out the STUDEBAKER sign in
large silver letters on it. Also when Marty is looking at the newspaper
in Courthouse Square we get a glimpse of a Studebaker add in the paper.
(Nice touch!).

a Stude in it. Two of the more obscure ones that I can think of that
made good use of the cars featured was one, "Wild Palms" and two,
"Spontaneous Combustion." "Wild Palms" was an ABC (I think)
mini-series from about eight years ago. The series was set in about
the year 2020 and the cops all drove Avanti's. Now this is not
something that every video store is going to carry, but it is out
there in a two volume set, and if you are into science fiction
(especially the William Gibson variety) it is worth finding and
watching. The second one, "Spontaneous Combustion" is probably going
to be a whole lot harder to find, but it has one of the greatest
features of a Studebaker (a 50/51 bullet nose, don't remember exactly
which model) of any movie I have ever seen. I could tell you about it,
but then I would be spoiling the ending.

Studebakers.
In one scene he was leaning on the rear fender of a 47-52 sedan.
Younever saw enough to ID it.
There were several Lark bodied cars as well of various years.
Let's not forget Mr Magoo where he drives a bulletnose and of
couorse batman where the Gotham City police use Bulletnose Studes.
There's a local independant movie that was made called War that used
my '63 Daytona in it driven by the main character. It is currently
hitting the festival scene and was at the Sundance Film Festival last
where it got great reviews. The actor who played the main charachter
was at Sundance and told me the Daytona received lots of comments
during and after the film.
I expect a copy of the film for my self soon.

There were some great scenes of it when he drove down to Joliet,
including at least one through the windshield shot.

Hey Steve, now that sounds like a movie I'd like to see, let us know
when you get your copy, and perhaps you can find out how or where we
could buy copies?

deceased friend Tim Durkin had his Maui Blue '59 Lark used in the
movie. Tim died of cancer in 1994, he was only 39. I remember reading
the ad for "old cars wanted for a movie" and told Tim about it. He had
to go to Hoboken,N.J. for the car to be approved for the shoot, it was
right near where he had bought the car. His brother Bob Durkin had the
car until he recently died also. I imagine Bob's wife Judy has the car
now. The car is very obvious in the movie. You can see it in a few
scenes,especially one with kids hanging out of the car in a rowdy
drive- by of a drug store .
"The Hot Spot" with Don Johnson, he drives a finned Hawk in the
movie

pickup, and THE KARATI KID with an Avanti convertible. Also THE MASK
with Jim Carey and a Cher movie , can't remember the title, with the
white 60s Lark in a long distance street scene. Then there was a TV
movie with a 63 WAGONAIRE as a hearse. Plus tons of other movies that
I can't remember.
My wife gets embarrased when a Stude appears in a movie and I scream
"IT'S A STUDEBAKER"

Jones played the local junkman and drove around in a big M-series truck.
A movie from the late 70's called "Every Bastard a King" had a Wagonaire
in the opening scenes. Set in Israel during '73 War.

elevated subway line nd under the elevated structure and in a theatre. All the
police cars are 50-51 Studebakers and toward the end they get pretty well
wrecked.
Very strange movie.

cause while we were watching an old episode of Smallville she spotted
(before I did) a Transtar pickup. Of course there were two young good
looking girls in the scene so I should be excused from missing it. It
was later driven by the character Lana Lang in the show.
Sure it's not a movie but it at least had a Studebaker in it.
The A Team show that has the Lark convertible was the pilot episode
which was a two hour TV Movie.

Great flik.
Woiuld be nice if all the '51s had kept that sheen over the years like
thata one did!
The only time that I speciof9cally recall seeing RC was at Newport in
1959.
I didn't see myself in the film. though. If I saw him elsewhere, it
also would have been outside or at a later date.
They did my favorite song, "You Better Leave my Woman Alone."
Great job getting an actor who looks so much like the real head of
Atlantic. I'll probably end up buying (!) the DVD.

60's cadillacs but there were serveral scenes with a black GT Hawk passing by.
"Same Time Next Year" opening shot with a 48 LandCruiser and main character
says about her life listing things "A Studebaker what else do I need" Alan Alda
Ellen Burstyn(SP).
Not a movie but an old TV series The Littlest Hobo, must have been sponsored by
Studebaker. All sorts of Studes used including the 64 models.
Other will come to mind no doubt.
