Caught a movie on Youtube the other night- 1977- The girl in the empty grave- not a bad movie- What else is there worth watching?

Very, very little

TV has gotten too stupid to even bother. Absolutely no talent in script writing coming out of Meth Head Hollywood today all they can do is feature re-makes. I watch virtually none of it anymore.

BUT I will scope out this flick just to see the Roadster PU at least it will be free to watch....

Thanks for the link so we didn't have to search for it.

Most people don’t realize that Andy had several old cars. I rebuilt a Model A engine for his A-400 when he retired to the Outer Banks of NC. I still work one day a week in his home town of Mount Airy (Mayberry) and go by his childhood home regularly.

I have never seen a Model A Roadster Pickup. I have seen lots of Model A Open Cab Pickups.

Thanks for the photo. Open cars without tops are not very practical here in North Carolina. We get afternoon thundershowers almost every day. I was caught in one yesterday, but fortunately in my modern pickup. Mt. Airy (Andy's home town) is in the mountains and gets more rain than I do here in the foothills.
