...how many Cadillacs were to be seen in the movie "Hairspray"? I was pleased to see all of the '61 and '62's, and a great profile of a '57. There was also a good shot of the tail of a '63, and probably many others that I missed. It would be interesting to do an official count.

Check out the Tin Men, for a film loaded with late 50's and early 60's Cadillacs.  The opening scene in the dealer showroom is classic.  A must see for anyone that hates the car buying experience and the hoops some salesmen put you through.

Any enthusiasts out there who want to know what Cadillacs were featured in what films would do well to visit this web site:
     http://www.imcdb.org/vehicles.php?make=Cadillac&model=
Also, in the Club's "Cadillac Database", there's a section on "Cadillacs in the Movies"; it's not as complete as the IMCDB site.
