"Tank" 1984 starring James Garner. His M4A3 mid-production with 75mm howitzer and wet artillery stowage. The M4A3 Mid-Production was built by Ford during WW2. It's approx. 1943 vintage.

 

Should probably include commercials. (Did I spell that right ?)

My wife always shouts out when she sees a bonus-built in an ad.

Abe...

When Baney had to write himself a ticket, it was one of the greatest moments ever in the show. I'm dating myself. I wanna say '61 Galaxie ?

I watched the movie Ray about Ray Charles and its broken into year segments In the life of Ray Charles like 1948, 1950 and 1954 and as the segment opens for 1954 a 56 ford pick up drives by and I had to laugh my a-- off. everybody thought I was crazy. Thats what you call the horse before the cart. POPs

 

Just saw "Making of the Movie" about the new Indiana Jones. He'll be riding the hood of a 58-60 Ford looked liked a Big Job. Thought maybe '57, but it looked like dual h/lites. Gonna have to watch it now...

 

Thanks for keeping this interesting thread alive.

 

I noticed that too! Also on a side note from the movie Ray, my wife is an O.B. nurse and we both noticed the baby's pacifier in it's mouth. It's the kind they use currently. Or as I called it a "late model pacifier" I notice everything in a movie.

Like in the movie "Hollywood Knights" the scene where Tony Danza is racine his yellow 57 Chevy against the Cobra, if you look real close toward the end of the race on the side of the road is a '78 Trans-Am, it's gold in color. I just laughed, since the movie came out in'78 and was supposed to be taken place in 65?

I know that's off topic, but it is sort of?? In a warped kind of way.

 

Don't forget Ferest Gump out running the old truck, and also wasn't there one on Bridges of Madison county.

Great movie.....lol

 

I am an Andy Griffith show fanatic. My co-workers like to test me with trivia from the show. SO far I have not missed yet. Any way this espisode you mention "Citizens Arrest" was on last night. I saw the custom cab plate on the driver's door. My wife thinks Im crazy but she will also say look when she sees one on the show.

 

I saw one last night where Gomer was talking about a fish story while filling a car with gas and another customer got impatient and honked his horm. Wally then drove in in the '56 Ford and yelled at Gomer.

How about the one where Andy and Barney take the kidson a scout trip and they are droped off in the woods with the old Ford truck.

 

I know both episodes very well. Andy saved Old Barney's pride when he and Gomer got lost in those woods.

 

That was a rusty red mid fiftys F-100 at the end of "Cast Away" with Tom Hanks as the lone survivor of a UPS plane crash at sea.

 

I also can remember a Christmas special of "ALF" (Alien-Life-Form)years back that had Santa driving around in a pretty nice red "54 F-100.Alf was helping him deliver toys in the truck. Probably has been a good 15 or more years ago now.That the only part of the show that I really remember.

 

Actually it was a FED-EX plane crash, and that lady driver of that mid-fifties truck wasn't bad looking at all.
