As of May 4, 2024, this is the information we have about this car:
[Feb.01.2017] Car #529 turned up on Ebay in January, 2009. It has been restored and repainted from white to blue for a role in the movie, "My One and Only", starring Renee Zellweger. The owner,Marc Tuwiner, wrote: This is a super car out of California. I still have the matching black and gold plates. This car is all matching numbers and also has the original door lube tag. In the near future this rare 1953 Eldo will appear in a star studded new movie. This is one of two hero cars that were used as the main cars. A well known female actress [Renee Zellweger] will star in a movie and drive the car across the country. The movie company leased the car for two months and spent a lot of time in Baltimore and New Mexico. The movie has this car in many of the driving Scenes. The picture company wanted to use the hubcaps, but I do have the wire wheels. The movie company also picked this pale blue color. This rock solid California car was white from new.There were 259 Eldos made in white that year. This interior is new and was done in leather. The interior was done by a leader in the industry as a rush job however nicely done. We are now putting in the carpet and tightening this car up. There will be new pictures added; we are chroming some pieces that were not done due to time constraints for filming. Most of the chrome was redone this summer(2008) prior to filming. The movie people sprayed some dirt on the cars to make them look a bit weathered or dirty as you may see in the current pictures. I will be adding newer pictures soon of the car and you will see it detailed. Marc's car is featured in the Self Starter for Nov.-Dec. 2009.
