I thumbed through my "Ford Life" collection last night and this is what I found-

Vol.1 No.5 '23-'25? Touring in "The Crazy World of Laurel & Hardy". This car is very effectively reduced (squished between two trolley cars) by the prop dept. to about a 36" wheelbase, with L&H and a young lady still sitting in it.
V1 N6 '29 Phaeton with W.C.Fields in "It's a Gift".
V1 N7 '46 Convertible in "Fugitive From Terror", starring Ida Lupino.
V3 N3 '40 Deluxe Stn. Wgn. in "Under Fiesta Stars", noted as a "B" movie.
V3 N3 '33 Std. Phaeton in Columbia All Star Comedy No. 457, and Stooges Comedy
No. 4030. This must be the W.C.Fields referenced car.
V3 N6 '39 Std. Stn. Wgn. in "Dangers of the Canadian Mounted", noted as "obscure".
V4 N3 '23-'25? Touring with Arthur Lake and Penny Singleton in "Blondie's Holiday".

I found other mentions of Fords used in films but no actual title given and also, there are quite a number of photos on studio lots and other locations with actors of the period.
