The Ford Barn

My favorite movie with an early Ford V8 is on TCM now. (Its a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, World) My dad always watched it when it was on tv. Sadly, Phil Silvers' convertible doesn't fare too well.

In Harm's Way. The '41 Lincoln gets shot off the road and the "Stunt double" car(Looks like a '46 Ford) takes the fiery plunge. All the cars that pulled up to the party Dec. 6th. Plus that adorable Model A Phaeton that Patricia Neal drove around.

Also the 40 Ford in PT 109 sitting outside the Quonset hut window. Won't mention the Packard that gets strafed and blown up. Also may be wrong but I think its a '41 sedan that delivers Gregory Peck to the Airfield in "12:00 High"

I guess mine would be Lucy and Desi's 53 Monterey convertible in "The Long Long Trailer".

I remember Silver's ford in the river and pretty much everything in that movie. I saw it in downtown Seattle when it first came out and many times since. It is surely a 'who's who' of comedians of the era.

The 1939 Ford rumble seat convertible they trade in for the Mercury. Note that in later mountain scenes the yellow Mercury convertible turns into a heavier yellow Lincoln for those shots.

If we're staying with flathead V8s, the 1950 movie Hot Rod and the star '32 is hard to beat, along with the multi '32 drag race!

I met the guy who has the Phil Silvers Ford at the Eastern Regional in Gettysburg in 2014. I think his first name was Larry. Nice guy. He claimed that the same Ford was driven by Steve McQueen in the 1965 film "Baby the Rain Must Fall"

On a personal note, it was exactly the Phil Silvers Ford that inspired me to buy my 47 Ford convertible. I saw the film as a young man and said to myself "Wow...if I could ever afford a classic car that's the model I'd want" I just loved the lines. After many years I was finally in a position to do it and after some searching I found my 47. I was fortunate to find one in great shape and after some time and effort (and money) I was able to bring it up to Dearborn quality earning the award at Gettysburg in 2014. I still love the lines!

I've met some great Ford folks along the way that have helped immensely with advice and guidance and I am forever grateful to them.

A picture of my car in Gettysburg attached.

Daoust-

Conversely, the reason my dad loved "MMMMW" so much was because we had a '46 convertible when I was a kid. And that '46 convertible is the reason I just bought a '47 Merc, also sort of fulfilling a lifelong dream. So it all comes full circle.

Beautiful car, by the way.

The 1937 Woody in "The Adventures of Pippy Longstocking" used as the school bus!!! Why, because it's ours!!!! Next would be the Bringing Up Baby 34 Woody, 36 Roaster.
