Fried Green Tomatoes
One of my favorite movies. I was watching it last night and the model A's looked great. The 31 CCPU had a stone guard, who failed to notice that on the set? This is the CCPU that took a plunge in the lake with a dead body.

Re: Fried Green Tomatoes
Did you notice that the pickup has NO MOTOR, just a wide metal panel, from frame rail, to frame rail!!!---Like, "SUMBODY PUSHED ME INTO THE MOAT"--LOL.
LOVE that MOVIE, I watch it every year on my BIRTHDAY & all 3 episodes of "BACK TO THE FUTURE" Which reminds me, an Englishman introduced an old Pawnee Chief to the custom of drinkin' TEA. Every time they had a birthday, they each drank a cup of TEA for each year. SADLY, the OLD CHIEF passed away, on his 93'd Birthday, in his own TEEPEE. Bill W.

Re: Fried Green Tomatoes
Hey Bill, ever notice there is an X crossmember in that truck pulled from the water? The one with the sheetmetal pan you talked about. Also it has atleast 34 wires on it and you can see the frame from the side? That is not a model A pickup pulled from the water. He drove a model A but it is a v-8 truck in the scene when it is dangling from the tow truck.

Re: Fried Green Tomatoes
I looked very closely at that Ford pickup and observed (fenders, frame, body, radiator shell, under-carriage, etc.) that it was an amalgam of at least a 1931 Model A AND a 1932 Model 18 - there may have been a few more 'bits and pieces' of other later V-8's added into the mix.
Having seen the movie a couple of times before, this time I RECORDED it, so that I might play the lake section over and over again and again, until I felt satisfied that I had a pretty good idea of what it was I was looking at. |
