The Lively Set Movie T

Looking for some picture's of the red T-Bucket that was in The Lively Set Movie from 1964. It was built buy Joe Pironello in Califora.

 

I found this movie poster. The car looks like a Model A though.

This movie hits home with me. I rented my Dragmaster Dart to the theater for display in their lobby when that film was showing.

I went with a young lady who was a twin to Pamela Tiffin, who co-starred with James Darren in the flick.

 

The red A Roadster is the Eddie Dye/Lively Set/Tom Branch roadster, it is being restored to the Eddie Dye configuration which will turn up with a search of the HAMB.

http://www.sd455.com/movielivelyset.htm has some movie info, is the car you're looking for the one pictured in the attachment below? If so there is a feature in the Dec 1963 Hot Rod, I have a copy but a previous owner chopped out the first page of the feature.
Cheers

Cecil,
the Joe Pironello bucket in the movie is actually a Dodge. I think that he was a San Diego fireman at the time of the movie. I had a magazine with a feature on the car and it may have been Car Craft when they still did the street rod thing.

It was a Dodge --about a 1920 front half with 2 --'27 ford beds joined together for the width difference. I've always wondered why this car didn't get more exposure. I have it in a second mag somewhere but it's on green paper they use to print on.

 

all i have on my computer is a crappy screen capture

 

Isnt the roadster yellow now and owned by one of the Choppers??

 

You guys are mixing up 2 different cars. The 1920 Dodge in the movie is PURPLE; BUT it was Carnival Red originally . Is this the one we're suppose to be looking for? Joe was member of the San Deago Prowlers Club.

 

umm as I stated before there is a feature in December 1963 HOT ROD (I am missing the first half of the feature).

 

bigger pic.....

 

THAT'S the car. Sure was a beautiful machine, wonder why we never saw it again?

 

Thank's Guy's !!! I want to build a clone of this T. Then go find another Pamela Tiffin look a like LOL. Cecil

 

Cecil: The San Deigo Prowlers had a reunion last month (some talk of it on here somewhere) but THAT car has Never been mentioned????

 

There's also some nice footage of the car in Bill Pitts tape Smoke , I think Bill lived down the street from Joe . he used as a push car for his fuel roadster .

 

That must have been when the painted it Purple.

 

Thank's guy's !! I remember seeing a picture of it in Car Craft ... I think being used as a push car in the 60's. Wonder where you can get that Smoke dvd ? I talked to Joe when he had it for sale in Hot Rod Magazine in the 60's. He told me he had it at a car show and two guys come up to him and ask him if he would like to have it in a movie. He said Doug McClure was afraid of it at first. But he said by the time they were done with the movie he was really giving it the gunn.He wanted $6000.00 back then for it.

 

when I was doing the Good Guys show in Del Mar this past year a customer told me his neighbor had recently sold the car to someone back in the midwest.........
supposedly the person that purchased it will be restoring it and bringing it out on a World of WHeels tour or something like that.......
this is purely third party info and take it with a huge grain of salt - I hear all sorts of stuff from people all the time - some people seem legit though - and this story seemed real.

We will see

 

Hey,
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
The car was called &#8220;Little Miss Carriage&#8221;. The movie people didn&#8217;t want that in their family movie so &#8220;Carriage&#8221; was covered up during filming. You can see it in the opening scenes. I met the owner during the NSRA event I Springfield a few months back. It is being restored to its screen configuration.
