Waltons TV show
 

today on the Hallmark channel ( where I live on time warner it is 108). the Waltons are on all day (waltons marathon). love looking at all the old cars and trucks.

I remember the real McCoy's who had a model A phaeton.

Re: Waltons TV show
 

I loved that '29 AA truck on the Waltons, and John-Boy's coupe...

Also loved Will Geer and Ellen Corby... reminds me of my wife & I....

Re: Waltons TV show
 

What body is on that AA? Did it have a particular name with the pick-up type bed?

Re: Waltons TV show
 

I think they called it an express bed. I have one but it is pretty much rusted away. It has a flat bed and the sides are round at the bottom and then they go up for a foot or so.

Love the Waltons too but if you want to see Model A's and other brands of vehicles of the 30's check out Wind at my Back. It's on INSP, (Inspirational Channel). You can see many old cars on almost every episode. I love it and watch every chance I get.

Re: Waltons TV show
 

I had the pleasure to work on The Walton's for many years.

Re: Waltons TV show
 

I loved watching The Waltons when i was a kid mostly for the cars. My dad used to tell me that times were ALOT harder in the 1930s than they made it look on that show, but he said it was a much simpler and happier time. Wish I had one more day with dad watching The Waltons and talking about old cars.

Re: Waltons TV show
 

And they sure made it look easy to fit 3 people in the Coupe. I can tell you from experience that doesn't work now-a-days lol.

Re: Waltons TV show
 

I know for a fact that over the last 50 years that these Model A's have shrunk. I use to get 3 in the front seat of my AA as well as my Fordor back then. Not any more, now 2 of us is a tight fit!:D

Re: Waltons TV show
 

That's the main reason I try to never have mine in the rain.:eek: It's shrunk enough already.

Re: Waltons TV show
 

Chris, you need to run that story again about the dead guy at the carnival. :eek: That was something else! It must have been almost 10 years ago when I read that on Shelly's Fordbarn.

Re: Waltons TV show
 

Was the coupe or the pickup painted white? That still looks weird. A's just look weird in white!

Re: Waltons TV show
 

It's John-Boy's Model A that's whitish. ('28 or '29?) I don't think it's exactly white but maybe beige or cream colored. Remember the first episode when he got it? I think it was dark green or black until he painted it. Picture I found on the 'net:

Re: Waltons TV show
 

Anyone know where those cars and trucks are now?

Re: Waltons TV show
 

My '28 Roadster was supposedly leased to Hollywood for a number of years by the owner before my Dad and I got it and it was on the Walton's as well as the original Bonnie and Clyde as well as a lot of other shows produced during that time frame.

Re: Waltons TV show
 

I have visited "Walton's Mountion" here in Virginy. Country store and all. A fun Model A tour. I gave somebody's relativer a ride in my Cabriolet. She loved it.

Re: Waltons TV show
 

It's been so long since I've seen the show... the truck looked like a "pick-up", but I can't remember if the express box was steel, or if it was a wooden "grain box" with flared sides ?

:confused:

Re: Waltons TV show
 

All you guys are bringing back SO many memories,THANX

Re: Waltons TV show
 

Here's the only photo I could find of the truck, it's an AA express box I think.
