Instead of a '29 Coupe, the body looks like a '29 Cabriolet to me. Take note of the door glass. Also note the radiator shell for the Model-A in the garage is Chrome plated. Since this was a movie depicting the 1940s (taken from In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash book), that chrome shell can only mean there is a red Model-A Town Car inside the garage!! I guess since we know the movie was filmed in the early 1980s, instead of a Town Car, it is likely a newer restoration with a Vintique repro radiator shell. <sigh> |

Gene Shepard was a great story teller! In the 60s, We used to listen to him on WOR at night out of New York. I recall the one about the "Ribbon Room" of the rolling mill. Something fouled up the gear of the winding mechanism but the steel kept coming and rolling big folds of sheet steel relentlessly. Great Stuff! He could make a funeral funny. He was also a pilot and owned an Ercoupe. He is missed! Terry Quote:
