Stars And Their Cars

[Mike in Seattle]

The John Wayne & Maureen O'Hara shot is from, I'm pretty sure, Wings of Eagles. He and Maureen had such great chemistry on-screen for so many years in so many movies, and she's told some great stories about their friendship on TCM and elsewhere over the years.

The Duesenberg - another stunning automobile. My father made me construct one out of a die cast kit as a kid; likely the reason I remember it so fondly.

Joan Crawford also liked to travel in style!

with her 1929 Ford Town Car

...I couldn't get the make of that car

1938 Lincoln model K

 

[shazzabanazza]

Now that model K is one beatiful machine!

Judging PURELY by the shape of the hood ornament, I'd say that's a Rolls Royce.

 

[Cane Rod Maker]

Wow, I'd say she liked to travel in style. Great cars......Car #2, It might be a 30's Rolls Royce; or I could be way off...

Cane Rod Maker and Shangas, I think you may very well be right! Thank you!
Lovely car it is too!


shazzabanazza... I agree, that white Lincoln is a great looking machine!

 

[Shangas]

Of course, the Rolls Royce hood ornament has changed over the years, but looking at that photograph and looking at this...

...I reckon it's one and the same.

I've always loved that ornament! Such grace and movement!

Except that the image you have posted is not Rolls-Royce's Spirit of Ecstasy. That is without doubt an American model which I am sure one of our American members will be able to identify exactly.

 

[Smithy]

Forgot to also say, that car of Joan Crawford's is not a Roller, once again it's an American model of some description. A Cadillac or something like that.

Once again our American members will be able to nail it down exactly!

 

[Silver Bird]

I believe that would most likely be a 30's Cadillac "Flying Lady" ornament. Ms. Crawford's car appears to be a 1932 Cadillac Fleetwood Roadster. Fantastic thread!
