Shawshank Redemption has a 48-50 F-1 in it, also the TV series M*A*S*H has an asortment of 40's and 50's ford that show up from time to time.

 

How about "Goldfinger"? When they got to Ft. Knox to blow up the gate, there is a '59 or '60 F-100 there to help. Stepside. Also, when Bond gets in the jet to fly to see the president, another '59 or '60 is in the background at the base. Probably the same truck. There was also the Falcon Ranchero that carried the crushed Lincoln back to Goldfinger.

 

Beetlejuice had and old truck in it; kinda. I think it was a '56 F100.

 

While we're talking about MASH, how about the 54' Ford school bus. How did they get a 54 Ford school bus in Korea which was from 1950-53?
Big SNAFU!!!!

How bout "Ode to BillyJoe" 53ish Effie vs similar era chevy in a pushing match on a one lane bridge. I don't have to tell you who won.

 

Back to the Future III has an old Ford F-1 towtruck in it. It is a 48-50 that tows the DeLorean out if the mine in the beginning of the movie. I also think some of the thugs in Police Academy drove a yellow and black 51-53 Ford truck, but it has been a while since I saw that movie.

 

I saw part of a movie recently but didn't catch the name. It was about a young kid wanting to climb some sort of radio tower and his terminally ill neighbor helping him. There was a drunk that lived across the street from them that would shoot his gun off at night. The dad snuck into the house and took the gun when the neighbor was at the VFW. When he came home he was driving a '56 I think. He went in the house, came back out when he couldn't find his gun and did a bit of a burnout in the truck when he left. Does anyone have any idea what I'm talking about? It was late at night so maybe I imagined it all.

 

I think I remember that movie.

Saw it several years ago.

Wasn't it set somewhere on a farm in the midwest?

I don't remember the name of the movie.

 

Found it. It's a late '90's movie called The Climb.

Can't forget the old mid fifties F-100 at the end of Tom Hank's Cast Away.

 

48fordjeffie,

Here's a better example of a time warp. There were a couple episodes of "Hogan's Heros" that had a '48-50 Ford trucks. Now that's really interesting, a truck that hadn't been built yet for at least five or six years and in **** Germany. Maybe it was actually a secret German advanced war machine that Ford copied after the fall of Germany.

 

And the gal driving that old pickup truck wasn't too bad either.

 

Here's another, Goldfinger. Who can forget the blonde babe painted in gold???? I digress...As Goldfinger's bad guys are about to get out of Fort Knox, the army comes to the rescue. In duece trucks, jeeps and a 1958 or 1959 green Ford pickup. It has dual headlights, and FORD in big letters on the gate, if any body can identify it.
That's a good one Bob, the continuity guy must have had the day off. I used to like Hogan's Heros. If you ever saw the movie about Bob Crane with Greg Kinnear, you really would wonder where his head was at.

"On "TV Land" they show reruns of "Petticoat Junction." Believe it or not Sam Drucker (General Store owner) of Petticoat Junction/Green Acres fame drives a 1953 Ford F100 on the tv show. It isn't seen very often, but it is a real gem. It is blue!"

Got that from the web...Google is cool!

 

Wow what a great looking truck I would sure like to see some more pictures of it.

I remember seeing Cast Away (I live in Memphis and worked at Fedex for a time). I remember commenting to my wife and friends upon leaving the movie that I would never come back to Memphis to a girl that was married to someone else if I had a chance at a woman driving a 53 F100 with a mig welder in the back!
