What Is Coupe de Ville About?
The premise of Coupe de Ville without spoilers.
A comedy about sibling rivalry and reconciliation. The Libner brothers—Marvin, an Air Force sergeant; Buddy, a shy dreamer; and Bobby, a rebellious reform‑school inmate—haven’t spoken since childhood. In summer 1963 their eccentric father Fred orders them to drive a 1954 Cadillac from Detroit to Miami for their mother Betty. The road trip sparks bickering, mishaps and a rediscovery of brotherly bonds as they try to keep the car pristine.
