Default V-8 Fords on Film

V-8 Fords on Film

I love old black and white movies and I love Old Fords.
When I watch an old movie, I look for the old cars.

Many of us are familiar with some of the more famous Ford V-8s on the screen--John Milner's chopped 1932 Five Window Coupe (not Ford powered); the California Kid's awesome 1934 Coupe; and who can forget the 1934 Fordor used as the Bonnie and Clyde Death Car from the 1967 movie Bonnie and Clyde?

I have started a listing of Ford V-8s that appear in motion pictures. Some of the movies are pretty obscure.


1932 Ford Phaeton

The first V-8 Ford on Film for this thread is a 1932 Ford Phaeton from the 1932 Universal motion picture: If I had a Million, starring W.C. Fields and Allison Skipworth (the film is a series of short stories and the Fords can be seen in the W.C. Fields portion of the film). The W.C. Fields portion of the movie was filmed on location on California streets and at a used car dealership, so there are tons of old cars in this film.

Another Ford in the same motion picture: 1932 Model B Fordor Sedan.

Warning: there are a couple cringe-worthy moments in this film.

Stand by for more V-8 Fords on Film.
