This film was loaded with old Chevy cars from the late 48's and early 50's. Here's just a few of them. -Daryl Scott #45848 • 1947 Chevrolet Fleetline Sportmaster Sedan • 1976 Chevrolet C20 Fleetside

Anyway, I am pleased to see no stinkin Fultons in the pictures. I wonder how in the world those folks got around squinting, suffering from eye-strain, not being relieved of dangerous situations caused by "sun dazzle". etc. In the movie, what was it the alien told the Patricia Neal to go back to the saucer and say to the robot? It wasn't something like, "come er and git me, I'm shot." It was something scrambled. Kind of like Canadian. a. "Hello, handsome? Nope. b. "Say, big boy, whatcha doing later? Nope. What was it? ...... Oh, I know. I remember it now. It's as clear as day. He told her to say to the robot, "Fortyeightsareboring." Yep! That was it. The robot obviously agreed, woke right up and then zipped off and got the gun-shot alien and rushed him back to the saucer, where all the surgical instruments were, and performed extensive touch and go surgery on him. Fixed him up good as new. Did too! You in the stick-together 46-48 furom take that. Charlie

Fleetline Aerosedan on the right. Sorry Charlie-- can't tell if there is a Fulton installed. The other two cars are of makes and models unknown. The station was owned by my sister-in-laws Dad in the late '40's to early '50's. The building was demolished long ago. The second photo shows a 1950(?) Fleetline. The kids are my sister-in-law and her brother.
