There's a nice Brewster Green 400A in the movie about Bobbie Jones "Stroke of ...?..."

It's been so great to read about the experiences people had getting their cars in movies. Very rewarding!

No problem. Sometimes I feel like Larry, Moe and Curly are my Model A mentors.

Not a movie, but I was watching a PBS documentary called "Mountain Talk" this past weekend. It was produced by North Carolina public television about the peculiair mountain talk language of mountaineers in their state. Several of the scenes featured an old geezer driving a restored 1931 Tudor sedan around the hills and hollows of the area.

"Fried Green Tomatos" was a great movie with some great early fords. The truck they pulled from the river was a 1932 however. I loved "Oh brother where art thou" also. I just watched "J Edgar" and there too were some early fords in that movie.

The Notebook is a good movie and features an AA and a few late 30's cars as well, not to mention Rachel McAdams, huba huba!

Kansas City (1996)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116745/

Robert Altman's jazz-scored film explores themes of love, crime, race, and politics in 1930's Kansas City. When Blondie O'Hara's husband, a petty thief, is captured by Seldom Seen and held at the Hey Hey Club, she lauches a desperate plan to release him. She kidnaps the wife of a powerful local politician in an attempt to blackmail him into using his connections to free Johnny. Despite this being election time, he risks exposure by putting the political machine into action to free Johnny and thereby save his wife. Mrs. Stilton, meanwhile, has befriended Blondie and is impressed by her love and devotion to Johnny, especially in contrast to her own loveless marriage.

The previous owner of my 30 fordor had that car in quite a few movies. From what he had said, he put his name on some list, and if they had a need for a car like yours in your location they would call you with an offer. He told me it was in the movie the godfather, and they dressed him up to look like a gangster and actually let him drive the car. How cool is that. He still has a big grin on his face everytime he tells that story.

i love this series and i'm only in my early 70's. I am definitely in love with Grace.

Paper Moon with Ryan and Tatum Oneal feature them in a Roadster for a lot of the movie.

Joop · 04-13-2012, 02:19 PM

As mentioned above

What "A" car!

ctlikon0712 · 06-26-2012, 04:01 PM

I'm going to have to compile a list from this thread so that I can start watching them all.

mot · 06-26-2012, 04:28 PM

'A Bullet For Pretty Boy"

Super cheesy 1970 flick kind of about Pretty Boy Floyd. Lousy acting almost comical, no name actors but plenty of Model A Ford scenes. Check out the'29 Roadster pickup towards the end of the movie,,, handles pretty well and stops good when OJ (or OZ or whatever the garage guy's name was) mashes down on the brakes! I watched it on Netflix.

Didn't like Pretty Boy practicing on a visible gas pump with his Tommy gun though!
