The original - a cut down 1921 Oldsmobile model 46 Roadster was donated to the Ralph Foster Museum at the College Of The Ozarks, Point Lookout Missouri. TV producer Paul Henning, who had once lived in the area, based "The Beverly Hillbillies" TV show on a fictional family from the Ozarks. (several episodes of the show were filmed nearby at Silver Dollar City) The show ran from 1962-1971 after the show ended, he donated the jalopy to the museum. If you ever find yourself near the Table Rock Lake area, you might want to check it out! Also, if you are into history museums - Nearby at Ridgedale, MO is the "Ancient Ozarks Natural History Museum". It is excellent! AAAA
I'm looking at an original high quality color production still of the real truck. The vehicle in this video isn't that. Not even close. It's *_possible_* that they had several different vehicles over the years of the series and that this one was used for some special purpose, such as getting B-roll footage on the road and so on. A more practical and drivable version. Or more likely they made copies for parades and such. But this just isn't the classic real deal. The fenders are wrong, the headlights are wrong. Even the horn is the wrong shape. The bucket labeled "road kill" is not true to the spirit of the TV show and makes me think this a prop used in that awful movie version. Maybe it was spruced up from one of the parade/promotional trucks for the movie.
I want to know what happened to the firearms they were using at the Pachmayr trap and skeet range in Monrovia. Very early first season. Shortly after they moved into the mansion.
@@scottshanklin5533 Iam only stating what I read. Never said it was true?? Actually was hoping somebody else could say if all the info is correct. They already claimed that George Barris built the general lees?? Which somebody else commented below not true.
Darned if I knew they were going to have The Beverly hillbillies car I would have went last week. Picked up a factory bone stock 1977 F-150 Ford ranger XLT 4 x 4 couple years ago. The outside has a few bumps scrapes and patina. As it was up in show low most of his life. AM FM 8-track tape player Factory dual exhaust ps pd air conditioning 4-speed. Dual tanks. 351 M400 engine. 400 block with 351 Cleveland heads. So basically it's a factory 351 Cleveland stroker engine. After the precautionary marvel mystery oil in the cylinders to make sure everything is freed up. First gas and a little spark in it fired right up. Was planning on making a rock crawler. But I keep getting invited to car shows because it's so painfully stock. With the exception of the hang ten foot on the high beam button you remember those?
I watched reruns of this in the early 79’s as a kid. To each their own, I don’t see the appeal about this car at all. Would be a good donation for the Peterson Museum.
54 and still watch the re runs. This car looks really fake with all the giant dolls. It is not a car someone would want in their collection. It should be in a museum.

You can get your picture taken sitting in the car. The museum has a world class gun collection also.
👍
The comment I was looking for, thanks for setting the record straight.

Always liked that show and the car!! 👍👍
The ACTUAL truck is in the Ralph Foster museum on the College of the Ozarks just outside Branson, MO
The mannequins are truly creepy!! Eeesh!
I didn’t see Eley Mae
@@winnon992 She's seated right behind the equally bizarre "Jethro" mannequin!
Needs to be at at Hollywood star car museum in Gatlinburg, TN
I wonder what happened to the original vehicle used in the series. That's what should be in a television museum somewhere
@@bizzyizzy9526 It was donated to the Ralph Foster Museum at the College Of The Ozarks when the show was over. The car is still there today
It's a good recreation of the original, which is at the Ralph Foster Museum, in Branson, Missouri.
Yap i seen it
I want to know what happened to the firearms they were using at the Pachmayr trap and skeet range in Monrovia. Very early first season. Shortly after they moved into the mansion.
Small block Chevy... where did Granny find that? 🙃
I saw that. It's a small block Chevy V8 with Corvette ram horn exhaust manifolds.
Me Too 👍
Read somewhere the one used for the movie is not the same one used in the tv series??
Hey there kitt2000car Barrett Jackson gets all the correct facts , so you might want to check yourself

@kitt2000car there were two trucks for the movie. This one, and the one Jethro "rebuilt".
Also the show's original run was more like nine not twelve years.

The original driver of that car is Jethro Bodine (Max Baer Jr.) who is still live at 87 years old.
This car was at the College of the Ozarks museum.
This is not that vehicle. The original is still in the Ralph Foster Museum at College of the Ozarks.
George Barris told me he found the original car for the show on a citrus grove in Riverside California.
The dog is the only thing that looks half-real
When is the auction? I love watching them.
Check out the original at the school of the ozarks .
So..how many HP does this thing make on Grannie's XXX? The thing flew around a racetrack!
My husband thought the original truck was bought several years ago by ron pratt at the barrett jackson auction
One of the ones used on the show was an REO, so, almost an Olds.....
Wowowowow that's awesome
I was under impression that the original was actually a composite of 3 different cars...
Love to find out how much it sells for 😮
Rather have that than a Rolls
unless its Millburn Drysdale's rolls
I want the one from the movie, after jethro got done overhauling it
Perfect for a Daily Driver in California. Home.
I hâte that Ai voice we got here in France on this video and the translation is awful. They can't offer a normal human being any more? Pity
That's ok; his regular voice with unnatural pauses for effect is just as bad.
Did they hire French speaking humans for this previously?
Progress 😢
I’m curious as to what the selling price will be.
$350
@@scroopynooperz9051 I think you forgot a few zeros.
50 bucks and some possum gizzards
@@robertjohnson5893 Because in Philadelphia..... It's worth 50 dollars.
What is an Oldsmobile?
Definitely be cool to have in one
Original overlander
I wonder what happened to the my mother the car, car, q1929 porter if I remember correctly.
Granny's Favorite Possum Stew Recipe also part of the package!
well doggies that does sound good " fetched it up right up off the road, right after that Peterbilt squished it " nice and tender
Maybe from the Beverly hillbillies movie with Jim varney 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Looks fake
That's what I thought. I thought it was a model at first. Until I seen the guy standing next to it.
Don’t know the target demographic for this. Seems like they are 50 years late after the TV show craze. Who knows? Watch it get some unreal money😂
Correct. I was a kid when that show was on. (I’m old).
I watched reruns of this in the early 79’s as a kid. To each their own, I don’t see the appeal about this car at all. Would be a good donation for the Peterson Museum.
A lot of people In their 50’s and 60’s who have money watched it in reruns when growing up.
I’m 58. Could care less about this. Nowhere near as cool as dozens of other TV/movie cars from that era. Again that’s me.
54 and still watch the re runs. This car looks really fake with all the giant dolls. It is not a car someone would want in their collection. It should be in a museum.
Thought it was a Diecast Model…. I’m Out
