TV camerasand outdoor lighting, not original colors dictate the paint colors.

Their truck was dark green.

I remember John-Boy's coupe being a light color, but we had a black & white set then, so it was all rendered in varying shades of gray...

If you'd like another place to visit with or without your Model 'A', try Mt Airy, NC. My wife and I went there a couple of years ago and we went to Floyd's Barber Shop. I even got a haircut for $8.00 by the old barber who actually used to cut Andy Griffith's hair when Andy was a kid. I was kinda nervous when that 83 yr old Barber walked up to me sitting in that chair and he was sharpening his "Straight Edge". Then he used that Blade on me. Did a good job tho. Took nearly 45 minutes 'cause he was talking to me and other customers all the time while he waived that knife around.

John Boy painted his dark-colored coupe tan, and I think he also changed it from a 30-31 to a 28-29 when he painted it! I've only seen that episode one time--I don't know why I've not seen it in the hundreds of times the series has been re-run--but my memory is that the car was a 30-31 when he first got it. Anybody remember better than I do?

I have a pair of those, nearly six foot long running boards, shown on their "AA" truck. They are now working as shelves, atop a pair of NOS V8 transmission housings.

Do you think these photos are of Andy Griffith, as a young man, before he became famous ?

Walton's Mountian is in Schuyler, VA. We took a model A trip there many years ago. The little village is neat to visit as is the Museum. They loved us in our Model A's. I gave someone's aunt a ride. She loved it and took me on a tour of the village naming everyone's home and plenty of stories.

In keeping with the theme of the show "TIMES ARE TOUGH" and you have to do what you have to do to earn a buck. LOL

Yep, those Black Hills pine needles don't have any preservative in them!
That's too bad because those express trucks are sure good looking and rare.

FYI - The photos above are of a TT express body. The AA express body has wheel wells stamped into the sides and the sills are tapered to fit the AA frame.

The first picture is the AA express. The second picture is the TT express

The Walton's AA express is a '29. In one show the right side of the truck was shown. It didn't have the spare wheel mounted and the '29 side wheel carrier could be seen.

Another photo...



I posted this link several years ago on the old Fordbarn but maybe it is time to talk about it again. The IMdb Vehicle site which shows still pictures from TVs & Movies, and is a great place to hang out and just look at old cars. You can search by the type of vehicle, ...or the TV/Movie, --or even for shows/movies with Model AA trucks in them. CLICK HERE to see that. Happy surfing......
