Coupe de Ville (film)

Coupe de Ville is a 1990 American comedy-drama film directed by Joe Roth.

It stars Daniel Stern, Arye Gross, and Patrick Dempsey as three very different brothers asked by their father to drive a 1954 Cadillac convertible from Detroit to Miami.

In the summer of 1963, their tough and eccentric father, Fred, gives them a task: to bring a 1954 Cadillac Series 62 convertible, bought for their mother, Betty, from Detroit to Miami.

When set director Richard Villalobos needed props for the Florida segments, he connected with the CEO of Goodwill Industries of Southwest Florida to acquire props for the film, purchasing $4,000 worth of used items from the local Goodwill store.
