Title: My One And Only
Cast Includes: Rene Zellweger

I belong to a board that discusses its love for the 1959 Buick. One of the members owns a restoration garage and is currently completing work on a 1959 Buick Electra 225 convertible model 4867. He recently answered a casting call for the use of a 1953 Cadillac Eldorado. Two will be used in the film, a nice original from New Mexico, and a car he located in the Annapolis, Maryland area. The car he's bringing will be used for far-away shots of 50 feet or more.

Here is a description of the film and some "before" pictures:

I see some nice cars that are being used, like the Kaiser and the 1941 Buick Estate woodie wagon, as well as a late '30's Packard and about a '53 Patrician, both in black.

That's pretty cool! I wish I could visit a movie filming.

P.S. Roadmaster, where are those taxi pictures?

Those street signs are way too contemporary.

Not to mention the the building in the last picture is much too modern for the 1950s

I hope the last one is some sort of staging area. The black and white "<>" diamond sign on the right of the first picture represents a bus or high-occupancy-vehicle travel route. This type of sign would not have existed then. There are other vehicles used. A tow truck with actual lettering for a garage in Harrisburg, PA was used in a scene set in rural Missouri with MO plates.

That's just what I was thinking! Anyway that looks SO amazing to be on that set.

There's that, and the "No Left Turn" symbol sign, not to mention the overhead street-name signs. Have you ever seen that patrick Swayze movie "Three Wishes?" There's another sign goof in that one near a road construction site.

The red slash through symbol regulation signs weren't available in this country until 1971 either.

Can be uploaded to the comments of the movie when it's on.
