Can anyone name this car

[raaizin]

I was watching an old Twilight Zone and saw a car I couldn’t identify. Anyone know this car, sorry but this is best picture I have off IMDB. It is Season 2Episode4

According to the internet, it is a 1939 Lagonda V12 Rapide Drophead coupé (say that three times fast!)

"A 1939 version of the Drophead coupe was featured in an episode of The Twilight Zone called “A Thing About Machines” as a car possessed, terrorizing the main character. The car was driven by stuntmen ducking below the dash or by drivers dressed in all black or white to portray the car as driverless, chasing Mr. Finchley (probably based on Robert Benchley) to his death."

Since you asked for someone to name it, I was going to name it "Olivia".

I never knew Lagonda was a separate make. I only remember the Aston Martin Lagonda from the 80's and that was a real ugly cuss if there ever was one. Nice history lesson here today!

Expensive! I thought it looked expensive that is why I was curious in the first place!!!Thanks!! I am sometimes amazed at some of the cars in old TV shows and movies.

Car lovers should watch the 1938 movie. "Young In Heart"
Great cast and movie

 

[duck__dodgers]

since we're talking about possessed cars...

there also is the 1983 John Carpenter movie, "Christine" with a 1958 Plymouth Fury

Whatever was spec'd, I'd go up a grade.
