How about the french mainstream comedy “Le Corniaud”, from Gérard Oury with
Bourvil and Louis de Funès, in which a cadillac is transformed to hide gold an
diamants.

How about La Grande Bouffe, in which Marcello Mastroianni freezes to death in
his sports car, maybe a Bugatti?,

The book lost highways: the illustrated history of the road movie that I
co-edited has some essays that may be of interest.

There's a famous Laurel and Hardy film (whose name I forget at the

Not about film, per se, but in the 1920s the expansion of

that might also dovetail themes that might be explored.
