It's supposed to be a 1927 Henny on a Kissel Chassis. You can check out all the cars used in the movie here:

Its a good story but a little on the slow side, lots of cars but never good full shots of them except the Hearse. If you watch it sit in a hard chair, not in bed.
 
The movie is "The Stars Fell On Henrietta", released in 1996, stars Robert Duvall. Ebay and Amazon both offer the vcr tape.

...never mind, wrong movie

The movie is Get Low. What is The Stars Fell On Henrietta and who can still play a VHS tape :p
 
Great start, changed directors mid-stream, muddled ending. Script was good, but who splits Pine for firewood??

Murray (Frank Quinn) makes me laugh without saying a word.

Frank Quinn: "I sold 26 of the ugliest cars in the middle of December with the wind blowing so far up my *** I was farting snowflakes into July."

Duval (Felix Bush) is superb.

Felix Bush: "Bout time for me to get low.
Rev. Gus Horton: Get what?
Felix Bush: Down to business. I need a funeral.
Rev. Gus Horton: For whom?
Felix Bush: For me. "

Lucas Black played 10 years younger.

Sissy Spacek has matured well.

The Mule stole the movie.

Filmed in North Georgia and TN. They had a big call for antique cars and people who looked like them.
 
Watched the trailer on YouTube. I may have to watch the movie. Having several years experience in the Funeral Business I just can't see Bill Murray as the Mortician. There's bound to be some humor in that alone.
 
My car and I were in the movie. It was fun hanging out with the stars for a week. Gerald McRaney and Bill Cobb were the nicest. Duvall was very friendly. Murray offerred me a drink from his flask at 10am. Lucas Black and his girlfriend were super nice. Overall, all the stars were friendly to the car people. On the main day of shooting the 500 extras seemed to like to sit on Model A fenders between shooting. That got a little testy.

The mule can do over 100 tricks. He should have gotten top billing IMO.

Lot's of fun, glad I did it.

Here's some pics of the Henny. The Owner was a funeral director from Ohio who collected hearses. You should have seen his face the first time Murray slammed the door or stepped on th running board with red Georgia clay all over his shoes.




 
Who's the "Broad" on your Coupe (using 30's vernacular-no offense intended)?

Model A guys get all the "lookers"! And I don't mean guys looking at the interior!

Put a puppy in the front seat and you've got a crowd...

The original story that the movie was based on occurred in TN, hence the cardboard TN license plates they gave us.

The town scenes were shot in Crawfordsville GA.

The cabin scenes and camp scenes were shot at Picketts Mill Civil War Battlefield Site in New Hope GA. Northwest GA.

A friend of mine had helped find and relocate an original Civil War period cabin to the park and the directors liked it but they wanted a barn for the mule scenes. They built the barn but they had to tear it down after the filming. I heard that Lucas Black and his Dad took it down and moved it to their farm in Alabama.

The looker is Rebecca Grant, an aspiring actress. I wanted to recreate the picture of Delores Del Rio in front of her Model A but this is what I got. I also got a lot of ribbing from my buddies as my wife was walking around and they expected me to catch it at any minute.
