1966 Fleetwood featured on new TV series

[Eldo66]

I was pleased to see that a new series on the Starz network, called "American Gods", has a black 1966 Fleetwood that the lead characters drive across the country.  And also features the Fleetwood in its promotional photo.  See attached. 

At first I thought that this car might be the iconic one that Ralph Messina restored.  But this particular one has leather seats so it is not Ralph's car.  Also has Missouri plates.  Perhaps a forum member will recognize this particular car. 

I concur with the (numerous) posts on this forum that the 1966 Fleetwoods may well represent the pinnacle of postwar Cadillac design, luxury, and craftsmanship.  And am pleased that the show's producers selected a black 1966 Fleetwood (from thousands of other possible candidates) as a vehicle fit for pagan gods to drive across the U.S. 

That said, I fast-forwarded through the show looking for scenes of the Fleetwood - and noticed that it contains some extremely violent and disturbing ones as well.  So this post is not an endorsement of "American Gods" as a whole ...

Funny you mention this.  Two night ago, my wife and I couldnt find anything on tv.  Mainly so we could make fun of something, we turned on Walker Texas Ranger.

The episode, titled "Desperate Measures", centers largely around a couple murderous, bankrobbing criminals who made the masterful decision to do all their dirty deeds in a resale red, 1970 Cadillac convertible.  It was good TV.
