Hey folks! I just came across an interesting Caddy for sale on eBay...

One of the cars used for filming the new film "Pineapple Express". (Very funny movie, by the way, I recommend it.) The main character drives what seems to be an 87-ish Brougham D'Elegance (which was half the reason I agreed to see the movie with my friends anyway). The car is in somewhat of a stressed condition, which gives it a bit of character, but overall it looks alright, no major flaws. Unfortunately, the car is only featured in about the first half hour of the movie.
This particular car was driven across the west as a promotional venture, hence the decals all over it.
The movie had a couple of other Caddies in it. I couldn't help but notice a scene where a 76 coupe deville drives by the camera, and additionally one where an 82 eldorado is parked across the street in the background. Sadly, the third caddy cameo is a gold 72 Deville that a police cruiser crashes into and absolutely demolishes in one of the chase scenes...but it IS sort of cool to watch.
