Good one Stroker - '51 F1 is on the mark. Someone else better than I will have to help you with the balance of your question though!

I'm thinking a 51 or 52 F-1. I have a hard time telling these years apart, although I used to drive a 51 F-1 six. Perhaps someone could enlighten me to the difference between years, as well as the differences between 47,48, 49 & 50.

My Dad drew a complete blank on that one 37 Coupe & kubes40. One more bit of trivia with something slightly more EFV8 current I can handle - what vehicle did Fred Sanford drive?

Kube,the '40 Ford convertible in Leave it To Beaver I think was maroon.I don't think it was the original paint or exact color faded or not but I saw the car once and it was maroon sorta faded looking to purple.

Good eyes 1933, they are 34 hub caps. Having the film to watch again is a great asset. Now I'm wondering if the headlights are also 1934? I tried to see the dash, but no luck.
1934 Ford's since 1972

there is no doubt about it. Its a 33 Ford , the hood has one handle and the grill is a 33. I have owned a 1933 Ford for almost 50 years and still own one, Great car then and now. However it looks like the car has 34 hubcaps.

Had to ask Dad - I'm at best acceptable back to '40, better post-war and become increasingly weaker prior to '40 in identifying exact years so I had to go to my walking encyclopaedia father. Him being both an Andy Griffith fan and an owner of multiple '20's thru '50's Fords & Mercs he answered the question quickly via phone without seeing the video. Have to call him in the morning and give him cudos. Wish he'd kept his '50 and '57 Mercs (latter Turnpike Cruiser sled)

Okay, I got one for you guys... Leave it to Beaver. Lumpy had a '40 Ford convertible. What color was it? Yes, I know the show was filmed in black and white. The car was not black nor white.
