She seems to be having a swell time over at the Hamb, but it appears she's having trouble getting enough cars for her movie. I wonder if she's contacted the LA Roadsters for help?

I will admit she has considerable enthusiasm, and she's worked (and spent) hard to take what seemed to be a tired car and make it better. For that she deserves credit. Originally Posted by Deuce

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Ok, I'll give ya that....But why all the drama???? Hot Rods are for Hot Rodders, not soap operas..... I guess I never have been a movie type. As Toy Dave said, the inaccuracies generally are such a distraction that the movie itself seems to do little but make a mockery of things... I figure if you haven't lived life as a Hot Rodder, no use trying to explain it to you in a movie or other method, you aren't going to understand anyway.... America Grafitti was almost ok, right up til the time Harrison Ford tried to sing.....c'mon, things just ain't that way.... I guess for me it just comes down to the fact that I hate to see someone who doesn't have a great deal of "been there, done that" experience as a Hot Rodder trying to get rich and famous with some inaccurate portrayal of how they think things were..... Just like reality tv, most car movies have very little to do with reality.... Originally Posted by Bob Parmenter

My stay at home Mother had her own new car in 1955 ... a red & white 1955 Ford Crown Victoria ... ... Dad drove a 1940 Ford pickup ...
Most movies have some historical mistakes. Even big budget ones. I saw a John Wayne movie where he was driving a 47 or 48 Ford ... before Pearl Harbor was attacked ( December the 7th 1941 ) ...
Hopefully, the errors will not be too bad in the Spades flick.
