1948 or 49 or 50 Packard in La Bamba

Saw a 22 series in the movie with nick cage when they were stealing all the cars...it was outside the garage they were in up against thefence

Quote:

22nd Series Super Eight Sedan.

Perhaps already mentioned here:

The Hearse featured a mixed-year but as I recall mostly 1951 or 1952 Henney- Packard as the main "star" so it was in the posters

Move Over Darling had a then-new 1954 Packard limousine

Who Framed Roger Rabbit had a yellow circa 1937 convertible and a 22nd or 23rd series even though it was supposed to take place before the latter. The convertible is shown in some publicity material.

The Day the Earth Stood Still (the original, not the remake) showed a 22nd or 23rd series driving and with its hood open after the power outage

The Fly had a 22nd series Henney-Packard ambulance briefly and from a distance

Yes, I do know the difference between 22nd and 23rd series but I've not seen most of these films for a long, long time so forgot which they were!

The recent movie about the McDonald's restaurant franchise briefly had a mid-'50s Clipper. I don't recall offhand if it was 1954 or 1955.

There was also a '40s era movie that had a 1941 Henney-Packard all the way through it as it was the "get-away" car, as I recall, in a heist. I can't recall the title so does anyone know?

1936 junior convertible120?

Great Movie, I always liked William Powell.

The 1938 film, Bringing Up Baby, had this nearly new Packard 2-door sedan which unfortunately was not shown any better than this. The woman is, of course, Katharine Hepburn and man is character actor Walter Catlet.

The General's Packard 1-38 in "The Wild Bunch." Said to be the 1914 model. Last year for brass? First year for left-hand drive? Film is set in 1913. Would this car have been available to buy toward the end of 1913?
