Stars And Their Cars

Diana Dors in her Cadillac

That looks like a development in Queens that I lived in.

I think the photo was taken at Pinewood Studios outside London.

While I don't have a photograph to share I have to call out something that I learned while watching the wedding festivities yesterday. Prince Charles is the owner of 1969 Aston Martin which has been converted to be more ecologically friendly. As reported in the Daily Mail...

"As part of cutting his carbon footprint, the prince has converted the 38-year-old classic car - a 21st birthday present from the Queen - to run on 100 per cent bioethanol fuel distilled from surplus British wine."

Think about that for a moment...the prince has a car that runs on wine! I'm not sure that it gets much cooler than that.

:cheers1: Glad to see this thread's still going. While I don't have any pics of "stars with their cars", I'm sure enjoying those that have been posted here.

BoPeep: Kudos to you on the shoebox. Lookin' good.

I wish more women drove Cadillacs.

My mom has been driving Cadillacs for the last 20 years and I had a brand new 96 Cadillac Eldorado for about 5 years

1953 holidays: American film star Katharine Hepburn driving some sort of a car , along the waterfront with Irene Mayer Selznick (yes, the daughter of Mr MGM ) at Montego Bay, Jamaica.

Fantastic photo HadleyH - I love natural photos of old film stars - seeing the locations and the people just hanging around.

Clara Bow looks hot!

Ah, that would explain why the Cadillac doesn't have white wall tires. You wouldn't see black wall tires
on Cadillacs of that vintage in the US.

Thanks! It's been a fun project so far (mostly because my husband's doing the hard work, and I haven't started the upolstery yet. lol).

It's good to see someone else keeping a more-door alive :thumb: I have a '54 Crestline that bought in 1973. still runs but needs a bit of TLC. Wouldn't trade it for anything, or sell it. Trying to keep motivated on a '67 Thunderbird (4 door Landau ) right now. Tell hubby Good Job. :eusa_clap

Actually, circa 1952 whitewalls were very hard to come by for a while due to the Korean war. Chrome got thinner, too.
