Studebakers in the movies and tv

I ran through the list. Pretty good list. Lots of French movies with Studes. One that they forgot was Back to the Future. Not only was there a nice back view of a Starlight Coupe at the end of the movie just when Doc sends Marty back to the future, but there was a Studebaker Dealership in lights on the opposite side of the street of that Starlight. Way cool.

They missed my favorite too, the Commander convertible rent-a-car in DOA

Someone in another NG that some of us here visit was wondering what kind of car Boston Blackie drove on the TV series (not in the movies)

Thanks very much for this link. It's wide-ranging, but not yet what you'd call comprehensive, like the Internet Movie DataBase site is. I did not see the 1985 "Mischief," a sort of Canadian "American Graffiti," which has a Studebaker in a starring, albeit uncomplimentary, role. Looks like they need more input from us.

Studebaker was a sponsor, the show was on in 51-52, go from there.

The just released movie Hollywoodland (about the mysterious death of the actor who played Superman on TV in the 50's) has one scene with a nice bullet-nose in it. It's accompanied by a snide comment about the appearance of the car.
