Was this 1946 Cadillac really a movie star?

We received a question from Mister De Backer recently and this time it’s not so much about a car on its own, as well as about a film that supposedly featured it. To start with the thing itself: it’s a 1946 Cadillac 62 Convertible of which we have more information. The remarkable words from a clipping: “The convertible in the photographs is the same car. Its original colour was gunmetal grey, but the reflected water and sky in the photograph plus the age of the transparency (made in 1946) gave the car a blue-ish cast. The harbour view, however, was so typical of the period that the editors decided to use it in spite of the improbable combination of red leather and blue lacquer.”

Now, in the first place the colour seems clearly grey to us. And apart from that we have never had a dislike over the combination of blue and red, but that’s not what this is all about. Mister De Backer is convinced this particular Cadillac made it to a movie, but has no further clues to that. We’ve checked the extensive files of the Internet Movie Car Database, which have a massive 694 (!) 62 Series Cadillac Convertibles on file that made it to a movie in some way or another, but a quick look from our side didn’t come up with this one. We’re positive somebody out here will be able to help him out with that. So there we go: over to you, dear reader.
