(Corrected title to show it ends in an exclamation point.)
A funny (but unfortunately sexist) Doris Day/James Garner film that takes on the advertising business and middle class life in general. Game show fans will note Arlene Francis of "What's My Line?" has a big role in this movie. I was surprised at how many cars are in this film.
Rolls Royce (Silver Cloud?), four stars (the climax to the film actually takes place inside this car)
1958 Chevrolet convertible (I'm going with Impala), four stars (James Garner drives this throughout the film until it meets its unfortunate fate)
1963 Ford Galaxie, two stars
Mercedes 190 SL convertible, three stars
Imperial limousine, two stars
1963 Dodge Dart, two stars
1962 Ford Galaxie 500 convertible, two stars
1963 Ford Galaxie, two stars
unknown bulldozer, two stars
Chrysler New Yorker station wagon (1963?), two stars
1958-9? Chevrolet truck, two stars
1955-7? Chevrolet truck, two stars
1957 Ford Thunderbird, two stars
1960 Plymouth Taxi Special,two stars
1963? Cadillac limo, one star
unknown wagon (lower left), one star
1958 Ford Country Sedan, one star
1962? Ford Fairlane, one star
1959 Ford (Galaxie?), one star
1960 Dodge (Seneca?) wagon, one star
1962? Chevrolet Corvair, one star
1959 Chevrolet (Bel Air?), one star
1963 Mercury Monterey, two stars
1963? Mercury (Comet?), two stars
1962? Cadillac, one star
1963? Plymouth Valiant, one star
three cars in this one pic: 1960 Ford Galaxie, 1960 Oldsmobile (98?), 1957-8? Mercury Monterey, all one star each
1957 Ford, one star
Renualt Dauphine, three stars
1962 Ford Falcon, one star
Cadillac ambulance, one star
unknown motorcycle (Harley Davidson?), two stars
unknown car (the traffic jam is apparently the result of a collision between this car and the Renault), three stars (A crowd of people physically move this one and the Renault with their bare hands, so the Rolls Royce can get to the hospital)
The same three pics with the car in question circled:

There's one more car I wanted to add from the big traffic jam scene at the end. It's a black Corvair, roughly 1960-61 or so. I couldn't get as good a shot of it as I could of some of the others, but it's a two star vehicle because Edward Andrews' character speaks briefly to the driver and she speaks back.

The blue Cadillac convertible is a 1961, not a 1962.
(Notice the chrome border on top of the fins and rounded lower taillamp housings)

The "1963? Cadillac limo" is either a 1960 or a 1961 (a bit too dark to tell).
The 1961 has an addition set of lower fins while the 1960 just has the single set of upper fins.

Wish I could see more of that beautiful-looking Imperial limo.
It is a 1957 or 1958.
(The 1957 limo used a "year-ahead" grille not seen until 1958 on the other Imperials)
