The Ford Barn

Season 2, Episode 14. 1961. Up late tonight as the snow continues to fall and watching this. Used car dealer buys a haunted Model A fordor that forces the dealer to tell the truth. Hilarious and lot's of other gems pictured. Anyone else ever seen this?

Sure did. Didn't he end up selling the Model "A" to some fat, bald, Russian guy?

I'd sure like to have some of those "lemons" at the prices quoted!

Ha ha, a used car salesman telling the truth is certainly "The Twilight Zone" !!

For those with interest perked up I think I found it broken into a series of 3-4 minute vids. Use the >| for the next one. https://youtu.be/fdWH52W_X70

I love radio shows like Gunsmoke, and this is quite similar.

When I was a pre-teen, Twilight Zone was the spookiest thing on TV and I avoided it. I still don't watch horror stuff with chainsaws and masks even if Jaimie Lee Curtis is in it!

Yes, that's it. Can anyone identify the 3W in the background? As an aside it's hilarious the politician wouldn't buy it because then he couldn't lie anymore.

The car salesman was played by Jack Carson.

My money is on a '36 Packard. DD

I've never seen a '36 Packard 3W before. Now that I have I love the styling. Guess I'll have to watch Twilight Zone again and focus more on those shots that show it. Thanks V8!

Just watched the opening scenes again and I wouldn't bet against you. It certainly appears you are correct. I wonder what that roadster is he closes the hood on?

cas3 · 12-29-2021, 01:52 AM

Tomcarman, I have a 31 roadster, a 31 coupe, a 29 roadster sorta, but a 31 slant window is on the wish list. Darn near a 32

Watch at the 0:37 mark in this 2nd part link BELOW, and you can see the front fender, hood, Packard Flying Lady, headlight, chrome strip below running board...looks quite Packard-like. DD

Very Tangled, Impressive! And look, the "like button" is right there! Still curious about that roadster.
