The following is a list of the cars that Marilyn Monroe owned, as well as the cars that she drove or was driven in.
1. The Bolenders' Model-I Ford-Hawthorne, 1926-32.
2. Jim Dougherty's blue 1940 coupe.
3, Jim Dougherty's 1935 Ford sports car-which Norma Jeane kept after the divorce.
4. A 1948 Ford convertible-which MM purchased when she began to make money and which was soon repossessed.
5. A 1950 Pontiac convertible.
6. A black Cadillac convertible-probably the Cadillac that MM received for appearing on "The Jack Benny Show," 1953-54.
7 Joe DiMaggio's black Cadillac.
8. A black Thunderbird sports car-the car MM drove when she moved to New York in 1956.
9. Arthur Miller's Jaguar-New York, circa 1957.
10. A white Cadillac-the car MM drove during the 1960 location shooting of The Misfits. It was probably rented.
For someone who owns a 14 year old Saturn, that set of autos is pretty impressive! Boy that top picture! Is there a man alive who would not stop to change her tire?!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post... great pictures too. Ive never thought about the cars that star's had.

Dawn, I'm not sure what you mean about a Singer...are you talking about the sewing machine? I'm confused!!
ReplyDeleteThe car at the top.. if you look close on the front bumper, is called a Singer. LOL.. my Singer... is a sewing machine. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat post! Even though I am not a Marilyn fan :) I am wondering why she is propped up on her singer in the middle of the day in an evening gown? Oh Marilyn...
ReplyDeleteMarilyn and the black Cadillac convertible - what a perfectly glamorous combo. Great idea, Dawn - "the cars of the stars" - and great pix, too.
ReplyDeleteMarilyn is the best accessory any of these cards could have!
