'Hitch vehicle' refers to the films of Hitchcock, feature films follow a trailer

Rebecca is of course one of his films

thank you for the suggestion - I know it was a Hitchcock film, but the clue suggests two parts to the answer - is "rebec" a trailer and "Ca" sounding like a vehicle ?

I think Mamya explained it fully. It's just a clever bit of misdirection.

I think it maybe a bit more convoluted than that.
Daphne du maurier wrote Rebecca and Daphne is a trailer (plant).Could be wrong though.
