Fozzie's Studebaker

Fozzie's Studebaker is the car bequeathed to Fozzie Bear by his hibernating uncle in The Muppet Movie. Kermit the Frog joins Fozzie in the car on their way to Hollywood, singing "Movin' Right Along" on the way. Following two close encounters with Doc Hopper, The Electric Mayhem repaint the car as camouflage, allowing the vehicle to blend in with a soda billboard.
Two Studebakers, 1951 Bullet Nose Commanders specifically, were used in the film. One unaltered vehicle was used for long-shots. The other car was specially outfitted to create the illusion that Fozzie was driving, with a monitor hidden in the car's bullet nose and the real driver in the trunk. The Muppet Show Fan Club newsletter offered further details:The Muppet Show Fan Club newsletter. Volume Two, Number One. 1979.
One of the two repainted Studebakers is currently on display at the Studebaker National Museum in South Bend, Indiana. The car's paint has faded considerably, and the Museum is accepting donations to help them "restore this star to its former glory."
