I am not trying to be argumentative, but I just saw vertigo again a
couple of days ago and I could have sworn that he was driving a dodge?

After consulting with the experts over in the antique car
newsgroups I believe the following to be reasonably accurate:

Barbara Bel Geddes circa-1957 VW Karmann Ghia coupe

Kim Novak 1955-57 Jaguar MK 7

Jimmy Stewart 1956 DeSoto Firedome Sportsman (two-door)

I thoughtit wasa caddy?

Definitely not! The make and model of his car are easy to spot when he
parks in front of the McKittrick Hotel. With Madeleine's car it's harder
to tell because we never see it as closely. Whatever it was, it was a
foreign model, most likely (I've been convinced) a Jaguar.

It's definitely a Jaguar -- when Mssrs. Harris and Katz were
restoring the film, they went to Jaguar to get paint chips in order to
get the colors properly balanced.
