In addition to his famous quote, he owned some luxury cars that were quite close to him since they appeared in two of his films. The Jaguar XK 120 was his daily driver back in the day. He was spotted with his co-actor turned romantic interest and eventual wife Lauren Bacall inside. The 1938 Plymouth Coupe of Humphery Bogart was utilized in his 1941 film “Big Sleep”. Lastly, the 1940 Buick Phaeton was included in one of his masterpieces “Casablanca”. Mr. Bogie is also known to spread his love for cars and has helped the needy. One such instance was when he bought a car for his gardener who was rejected from applying for a car loan due to his ethnicity of being Latino.

The Buick may continue to be a sought-after movie vehicle for years, given that Casablanca is still regarded as a classic and treasured piece of Hollywood more than seven decades after its inception and this car featured in this masterpiece.

It has a 3-speed gearbox and an 8-cylinder engine. The car's body and interior are completely original, right down to the cigarette burns on the seats that Bogie himself probably put there as he was a heavy smoker and a drinker.
