Watching "The Real McCoys" in the 1950's with that Phaeton planted a seed for me later getting into the hobby. 'Didn't start out with a sunny weather Phaeton (in Iowa???), but in my mind, I was going to get one someday. My favorite episode had Grandpa McCoy trading in the Phaeton for a newer model at a used car lot. Of course, he wasn't happy with the new-fangled car/truck (I don't recall which) and he missed his Model A. So, he somehow got his Phaeton back before the end of the show and all was good with the world again.
I wonder who owns that Model A now? Or did it stay part of some TV company's rolling stock and resides somewhere on a studio's backlot?
