Cars used in The Godfather Trilogy

I found an interesting website about cars used in movies.

Here you can find information with pictures about which cars from which years were used in all three films.

Some interesting stuff there, Sonny. Thanks for the links.

I'm curious as to what our two resident car experts will have to say (Turnbull and Johnny Ola). One "time" mistake that jumps out at me is the 1946 car used as a cab when Tom Hagen visited Woltz Studios. That trip to the coast was done in the last week of August, 1945. I believe (could be wrong) that the 1946 model cars didn't come out until late September or October of '45 then. (OK, it's a minor mistake).

I found it funny (not ha-ha funny) that, within a span of 10 years, cars went from being very rounded, almost bubble-shaped (Godfather I), to extremely streamlined and pointy (Godfather II).

I think the most beautiful cars were made in the fifties and early sixties.

It's probably one of the reasons why I prefer part II as my favorite.

I don't know if that is correct but that is a good eye to catch a detail like that.

10 points to SC on that '46 Plymouth. Also, the red ragtop just in front of the taxi on the lot is a '47 Kaiser. Also, Michael's Cad when he woos Kay in New Hampshire is a '47--not a '49. That's very important if you want to establish an accurate timelinen for Michael's return from Sicily. And, the Alfa Romeo 6C2500 is a '43, not a '46. I guess the poster on that site didn't know Alfa Romeo made cars during WWII.

They really screwed up the years on the II cars. The Hotel Mayflower Cad is a '55; the Chrysler New Yorker is a '58; the Plymouth taxi in Cuba is a '58 Plaza, not a '57 Belvedere; the Imperial Crown Ghia limo is a '59; the red-and-black Ford is a Custom 500. I'm surprised they didn't show the '57 Merc Montclair that took Michael around in Cuba, or the '56 Mercedes 300SL gullwing that Fredo drove up to Anthony's party in a deleted scene.

Disappointed that I didn't see a baby-blue cadallac at Clemenza's house, like in the book. He just had the "standard" BLACK cadallac.

Great catch, Butt Monkey .

Every time I read that passage I'm disappointed that they used the black one for the film. It may have been a budget concern. Replicating the blue on an almost 30 year old car would have been quite expensive back then.

You can suggest them to correct those mistakes by posting a comment.
