Yep, that's right, joining Madsen's stunning cream Cadillac as a vehicle making another appearance in the Tarantino-verse is the 1964 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia (via Tunnelram.net) - a car again driven around by Cliff Booth during Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

You likely didn't spot the fact that Uma Thurman infamously drove the exact same model and colour of car during Kill Bill Vol 2., and in a scene that actually led to her crashing into a tree in real-life - a moment Tarantino would later call "the biggest regret of (his) life."

In another interesting note, as per EW, it turns out that Tarantino's own stepfather also drove him around LA in a Karmann Ghia back in '69 - the same year this film is set.
