Welcome to a special Os-Car Night #DavesCarIDService Late Show! No requests please, I'm just posting a thread of some of my favorite vintage stars with some of my favorite vintage cars.

Let's start off with the Best Automobile In a Supporting Role. And the winner is: 1941 DeSoto Coupe in Cool Hand Luke. Here supporting the hard-working Joy Harmon

And on the topic of blonde bombshells, here's the OG blonde bombshell Jean Harlow and her stately 1934 Cadillac V12 Town Car.

And a blonde bombshell of a different Hollywood age, the impossibly curvy Jayne Mansfield with an equally impossibly curvy 1949 Delahaye 175S Saoutchik roadster.

Yes, I realize I have female readers too, so it's time to bring out Hollywood's Duesenberg Boys - starting with the original, Gary Cooper, showing off his circa 1932 Duesenberg Derham touring car to William Powell.

Nothing said "made it, Ma" in Tinseltown like your own custom tailored Duesy, a luxury that only the top box office stars could afford. Cooper had several, as did Clark Gable - here with his 1935 Duesenberg JN.

And how about Tyrone Power's 1930 Duesenberg J Torpedo Berline convertible? He actually bought it used.

I interrupt this thread for a correction from an eagle-eyed Belgian: not Jayne Mansfield, but her British doppelganger Diana Dors. In my own defense, I got the car ID correct. https://twitter.com/groucho78/status/1386452428556587011

Sisters from different misters, gotta say

Not all big Hollywood stars blew 10 years of a middle class income on a flashy custom luxury car. Here's the thrifty Joan Crawford cruising in her modestly priced but lovely 1933 Ford roadster. Although I see she hopped it up with a set of General Jumbo rims & tires.

When it came to hopping up cars, nobody topped Robert Stack- a legit pre-war dry lakes land speed racer and member the LA Pacemakers hot rod club- before he went into acting. Here at Muroc 1939 with his Cragar head 1931 Ford Model A roadster, which he drove to 115.68 mph.

Can I get a double va-va-va-VOOM for Sophia Loren and her Mercedes 300 SL gullwing coupe?

Unfortunately for Sophia that Benz turned out to be a lemon. Come ON, paparazzi, put down your damn cameras and give the poor lady a hand
