Huh?

Another Packard sighting, this time a 23rd Series Turquoise Club Coupe in the recent Meryl Streep movie, Florence Foster Jenkins. The Packard can be seen five or six times, usually parked in what is supposed to be 1944 New York City. The movie itself is based on true events and is both tender and entertaining. The other cars shown get about the same exposure, some placed right for the time, and others four or five years before their time.

It gives many of us hope that our own Packard might find a role, big or small, in an upcoming movies. Never say it's too late. Seeing any Packard, no matter the condition, real world or Concours-ready, may stimulate someone to ask questions and take up the cause.

Here in Georgia, we now have seven major movie and television studio operations. There are two companies who maintain rosters of cars that are available for movie work. I'm signed up with one of them but so far none of my Packards have been called. The Corvettes also are ready, and one friend with a 1941 Buick Roadmaster has been called. He had to say no when a studio tried to talk him into something he thought damaging and inappropriate for his car and they used up another similar car...although it is his car shown in the more prominent still scenes. The contracts and permissions seem forthright, so no harm is done without your permission. The fee he received enabled him to buy two more old and nice prewar Buicks.

Joe, sorry about the confusion on the links to the movie "when ladies meet". I was trying to find the cut with the car, but soon found out that it had been remade, so I wanted to show the 1933 movie, not the remake, in case someone would find it.

It was a convertible rumble seat coupe, I assume a 1932 or 1933. Golf clubs were in the rumble seat.

The Saint in London 1939.
I think it was right hand drive, used by the bad guy.

If you watch the movie The Last Days of Patton you'll see he has a 22nd or 23rd series Packard in Africa in 1942 or 43.

We're in the money, 1935

Interesting chase scene with an 1920's open car, top comes off, fenders come off.
