If you are a Mopar fan like myself I recommend"The Beverly Hillbillies" and "Mannix". Even as a kid watching these shows I couldn't wait to see the cars. Guess I was born a car nut and still am.
It's really remarkable that there were so many motor vehicles seen in a comedy series about farm life filmed almost entirely on a soundstage. In the roughly 70 hours total of Green Acres, less than five minutes of footage was shot outdoors, or roughly 0.12%.
The voice generator gives a pretty good imitation of Eddie Albert's voice, but the Eva Gabor voice is wide of the mark. But it's still very enjoyable! Thanks for posting these! You've devoted a lot of time putting these together and I thank you!
Yes the voice imitators are great for the all these videos. I think the problem with Lisa's voice is that her accent is so thick it's probably difficult to replicate it.
We had an affiliated independent channel in Connecticut that had partial rights to these classics but they didn't air the show with episode one, and abruptly yanked it off the programming list...it was FRUSTRATING...the one that upset me the MOST was when they pulled the Andy Griffith Show when I was TWO weeks before headn' off to basic training in '85.😢... I'm enjoying ALL this nostalgia nowadays in my retirement... DRUNK, and lonely 😢... meow MEOW!!!
Oliver's tractor was a Hoyt-Clagwell, (played by Fordson, uncredited). Hoyt-Clagwell went out of business 40 years ago, (nearly 100 years now), when Mrs. Hoyt and Mrs. Clagwell couldn't get along.
Another GREAT Video! I don’t know how you do it with the voice overs, but they sound pretty close to the original actors! Thanks again, and please give us some more!!!! 👍👍👍
Close ups of the Lincoln filmed in studio had windshield removed and body coated ti avoid glare from studio lights. Same for studio shots of cars on Beverly Hillbillies
Well done research ! A few of those brand new cars paint looked pretty dull … I believe a temporary coating was applied to the paint as well to the chrome and windows to block out glare from the camera lights. It worked but made the cars look less appealing
I noticed that in their retrospective of cars from The Beverly Hillbillies, as well - in fact sometimes the paint's shine would change from scene to scene 🙂
@@voicetube yes. It’s obvious that even windshields were removed …Some sitcoms from that era didn’t have that issue. Especially if it was filmed outdoors And even in studio filming equipment … Bewitched for example. The vehicles always looked factory fresh and gleaming
I wonder if the American La France fire truck was owned by Ward Kimball, Disney animator and trumpet player for the Firehouse Five Plus Two. He was an avid collector of old fire trucks and equipment. It wouldn’t be the first time one of his collection was featured in a tv show or film
The narrators voice is uncanny in resemblance to Eddie Albert. Please inform us if this is a natural voice or something modified to be incredibly similar. How about a video of the narrator talking? Who is the narrator?
It’s interesting how many of the farmers have tractors of recent vintage while many of their other vehicles are much older. I’m sure that an attraction to Hooterville for O.W. Douglas, in addition to the opportunity to farm, was the convenience of leaving the top down on his Lincoln and not having any reason whatsoever to worry about theft or vandalism when it is parked outside Drucker’s store! He knew he couldn’t do that in Manhattan. 😂
What I would like to know is the tractor he's riding is a John Deere GP what happened to this tractor? Id love to own it the tractor in the show is a fordson it's funny how they always have it falling apart.
I've read that they actually used three different tractors during the production, the Fordson, a JohnDeere maybe early model D, and 15-20 McCormick. Of course they all were HoytClagwell
The black Ford Custom at the end was a 1970, not a 1969. You can tell by the front side marker lights which on this car were just a light. In 69 they had a tag next to the light showing engine size (351, 390 or 429) or just a crown design if 240, 302 or 428PI.
If it's not a chevrolet, I dont consider it a classic car. What the hell can I do? What kind of hell can I do? That's just way my brain works. It has to be a chevrolet. That's just me.
