If I recall correctly, the '35 Chinatown Ford belonged to a EFV8 Club member. When the movie company told him they wanted to wreck it, they agreed that part of the deal would be for the studio to pay for the parts and labor to repair it. Parts were gathered (at that time NOS parts were still available) and the job was done..... I wouldn't have done it.

It rolled and caught on fire, but the car burning was a 53 Merc convertible, not the 57

I knew the moment I looked at this 1937 Ford Phaeton there was something odd about it in Masie Goes to Reno (1944).

The car was equipped with some weird trim / cladding from the grille to the rear end. Capital U ugly. The car is also equipped with turn signals on the fenders and is painted camouflage (the film was made during WWII). Wow. But look at the instrument panel. The steering wheel is on the left side and so is the glove box. I would be really impressed if there was a glove box on the right side too. I think that this car was probably a right-hand drive 1937 Ford that was reconverted to left-hand drive.

1936 Ford 5W Coupe
1942 Ford Fordor
1942 Mercury Convertible
1937 Ford Phaeton

Here are some photos of the 1937 Phaeton.

Note: there appeared to be a 1937 Fordor Touring way in the background but it could not be positively identified.

Here are some photos of the 1937 Phaeton.

I don't know the name of the movie, that this came from, but it is an Abbott & Costello movie clip of about 1941.
You can see a 1935 Ford 2-door fastback and a Ford Station Wagon. I don't know the year of the wagon.

Yea, that Plymouth is beautiful !
I've never been fortunate enough to own a Woodie, so I don't know too much about them.
In an earlier post called. "Suicide Doors", Mr Texas talks of the rear suicide doors on his 1936 model.
You guys are getting me confused !
