The Ford Barn

Has anyone seen the current movie 12 Mighty Orphans? Aside from being a good story, nearly every car in the movie was a Model A Ford. I also saw a TT pickup, and a few mid-30's style Fords. One wooden-spoked vehicle I could not identify, but I don't believe it was a Ford. The school buses also appeared to be newer than Model A Ford-era.

The film was produced primarily in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. I wonder if the MAFCA and/or MARC chapters in that area were principle in supplying the vehicles?

I saw the movie. And I read the book about 12 Mighty Orphans. The movie is pretty much the way life was there. My Grandson was the last football coach at the facility before the Masons closed the orphanage so I had a chance to visit it. A little "Hollywood" in the picture but well worth seeing.
