Not a Sixty-Special. Perhaps a Series-62? |

1947 Cadillac "Series 62" 5-pass. Touring Sedan [according to the 2" piping on the seat backs] (95% sure) |

Oh! I had almost forgotten about this episode... It's the car below that was used for filming. (Picture taken 5 km from AnimatronixX headquarters, with 'my' old 1963 Sixty Special company car in the background)![]() Did you know about the accident that happened when this was filmed? No?? Ok, wait for an exclusive illustrated backstory! ![]() |

OK, here we go: The Cadillac was placed near the river. Engine and transmission had been removed in order to keep the weight low, because the car was secured with a rope. Sandbags were put inside to make it look like a fully roadworthy Cadillac Sedan. According to the script, the car was meant to roll backwards towards the river - don't worry, it's all good and secured with a rope, remember?![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() And then - you probably guessed it - the rope wasn't strong enough... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In the aftermath, a very blurry person from the crew had to take a dive and rescue the drowned Cadillac. How? Well, they now had two ropes, you know... A very short one ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() And this is why you better don't bring really good cars to a movie set! I wasn't present on location and I never watched that movie, so I don't know if the Cadillac making a splash ended up in the final version, but if it didn't, it deserves a platinum "Wasted Opportunity Award". |
