It's been so great to read about the experiences people had getting their cars in movies. Very rewarding!
 
Yes! Yes! that's it! Thank you Hill Billy Tim! Ive been looking for the pic too, I guess i shoulda just asked for it instead of the episode name. You made my day...
 
Not a movie, but I was watching a PBS documentary called "Mountain Talk" this past weekend. It was produced by North Carolina public television about the peculiair mountain talk language of mountaineers in their state. Several of the scenes featured an old geezer driving a restored 1931 Tudor sedan around the hills and hollows of the area.
 
just watched the movie Hoodlum about 1930s battles between the harlem gangs and the italian mob controling the numbers racket in nyc lots of great cars but the action can be pretty violent :(UUGH
 
"Fried Green Tomatos" was a great movie with some great early fords. The truck they pulled from the river was a 1932 however. I loved "Oh brother where art thou" also. I just watched "J Edgar" and there too were some early fords in that movie.
 
Kansas City (1996)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116745/

Robert Altman's jazz-scored film explores themes of love, crime, race, and politics in 1930's Kansas City. When Blondie O'Hara's husband, a petty thief, is captured by Seldom Seen and held at the Hey Hey Club, she lauches a desperate plan to release him. She kidnaps the wife of a powerful local politician in an attempt to blackmail him into using his connections to free Johnny. Despite this being election time, he risks exposure by putting the political machine into action to free Johnny and thereby save his wife. Mrs. Stilton, meanwhile, has befriended Blondie and is impressed by her love and devotion to Johnny, especially in contrast to her own loveless marriage.

not a movie, but a tv series called wind at my back, that my 97 year old mother-in-law watches daily. Lots of model a's there.

The previous owner of my 30 fordor had that car in quite a few movies. From what he had said, he put his name on some list, and if they had a need for a car like yours in your location they would call you with an offer. He told me it was in the movie the godfather, and they dressed him up to look like a gangster and actually let him drive the car. How cool is that. He still has a big grin on his face everytime he tells that story.

last night i watched "Hoover Dam" on TCM
it was made in 1936 and had a deluxe phaeton as the main car
it had a 32 radiator shell,but unmistakably a model A ,even had a close up of the instrument panel
 
'A Bullet For Pretty Boy"

Super cheesy 1970 flick kind of about Pretty Boy Floyd. Lousy acting almost comical, no name actors but plenty of Model A Ford scenes. Check out the'29 Roadster pickup towards the end of the movie,,, handles pretty well and stops good when OJ (or OZ or whatever the garage guy's name was) mashes down on the brakes! I watched it on Netflix.

Didn't like Pretty Boy practicing on a visible gas pump with his Tommy gun though!
