From IML member Quint Villanueva:
My car was owned by my brother-in-law who lived in NJ. He was contacted by the filming company at the same time they were contacting other owners of circa 1940s and 1950s cars. His car (my car now) is a 1953 Chrysler Imperial, green. It is not the limo in the picture posted on the Imperial site. If you review Godfather I, in the scene where they take away "Fish" (that was his Barney Miller name) they hauled him off on his one way ride in my brother-in-law's (now my) car. There were a couple of other scenes the car was in. I will have to look at the G-I film again and make a note of what scenes they are. Unfortunately, when my bro-in-law passed away, the documentation from the film company was lost. When we look at the film as a family my kids always stand up and shout "there's uncle Tony's (now my) car! Play it again dad!"
And now you know "the rest of the story!"
