The movie was actually produced in 1989 and featured Jessica Tandy as Miss Daisy and Morgan Freeman as Hoke, along with Dan Aykroyd as Miss Daisy's son. In the very beginning of the movie, Miss Daisy backs a 1946-1947 Chrysler into her neighbor's yard and her son decides that she should not be driving anymore and gets her a chauffeur, Hoke. In the original script for the movie, however, Miss Daisy was supposed to total a brand new Packard instead of the Chrysler, but the car would've cost too much for the actual production so they went with a Chrysler instead.
