-I just wanted to add to the conversation concerning the Black Beauty for The Green Hornet movie... (assuming they are using a 4 door vehicle)
-I do think that the Daimler/Chrysler 300 has the best shot for it. If for no other reason than the others aren't as feasible.
-The Cadillac 16 isn't a real car, so I don't know what they could gain from it. I don't even know if the thing runs or is any more than a fleshed out idea of a car. There definitely aren't several just laying around that could be used for filming, and I would imagine it would take more than one if there is any kinda action chase scenes.
-The Phantom just won't happen. They only plan on selling 1,000 of them a year, and comic fans ain't exactly their market.
-Now the Daimler/Chysler 300, that's a different story. It will retail for a bit under 30 grand. That is the kinda car that will benifit from being in a movie. And, they are itching to really turn the company around, which they have since they bought it. This would just be the next step. While I don't think it is the coolest option, it seems the most reasonable.
**goes to look for something else to talk about from said chair...
