This old Sanford and Son truck was parked at a gas station for years on Russel Road and Mountain Vista Road in Las Vegas just four doors down from Red Foxx's home. How it ended up there is probably a good story.
After Mr. Foxx passed away the truck disappeared. Looks like the white painted lettering on the doors were redone as the original paint was faded. Great find for you. T.V. history!
My favorite line was when Fred said to aunt Esther, "I'll push your face in some dough and make gorilla cookies."
And them faces he would make when she got near him lol
Yes he and Aunt Esther didn't get along at all... they acted like they hated one another
Malcolm X was a good person I alway thought . But we all have a history
I still share that line with people today when talking about the show. Cheers, mate.
Aunt Esther was also my favorite as well.
Sanford and son and the Andy Griffith show to me were and still are the greatest TV shows ever made!!
Add Archie Bunker to the mix.
I’ve followed Blue Line Classics since the beginning.
I was in the USMC with Tim and he’s one hell of a guy.
Always nice seeing something close to home.
I grew up in *BRUNSWICK,* which is the town on the south side of Strongsville, and I still live about 20 minutes from Strongsville. I had no idea this famous truck was right in my backyard!! I have to touch it once. ALWAYS loved the show, and still do. So many famous lines and scenes.
Elvis and Foxx were friends from when they both was doing Vegas.Elvis liked his comedy stand-ups there.Elvis invited Foxx to his wedding.
A little info on the truck.
It is a 1951 Ford F-1 pickup painted in Vermilion Red. It either had a 226c.i. I-6 rated at 95hp(most likely)or the optional 239c.i. V-8 rated at 100hp. It also most likely had the light-duty 3-speed manual transmission on the tree, but could've had a 3-speed HD or a 4-speed. No automatic trans offered.
This is the first generation of the Ford F-series(1948-1952)truck line we know so well today
Still one of the funniest and one of my favorite TV shows.
Love Sanford and son cards poker episode
The British Version was called Steptoe and Son.
True.
@@AngelHxze tbh steptoe and son is better in everyway because its British and they have a better sense of humour in general
Now that's a piece of comedy history! To think how many times Fred and Lamont sat in that truck!
Wow what a great story I remember watching Sanford and Son when I was a kid I loved that truck I'm glad they saved it I'm glad they kept it original
My uncle Carl had a truck like this in the 1960s. As I recall, it was green and funny it wasn't any better condition. I have very fond memories riding in it from Chicago, Illinois, to Milwaukee Wisconsin. And watching Sandford and Son was a great show. And always reminded me of the memories with my uncle.
So awesome seeing you sit in that truck man. Big fan of the show here!
Me too Tampa Jay love the show!
Me Four! 😊😉
Hi Jordan! I love Sandford & Son. So glad they kept the truck original!!!!! Thanks for filming this!!!
I'd look a little closer..
They should do an LS swap!
I am a HUGE Sandford and Son buff, I love all the history you gave - and it's all true. Now I have to go to Cleveland. Thanks for this... this year 2022 marks S&S's 50th anniv.
Wow!!!!You brought back my childhood... Sanford and Son , Good Times, That’s My Mamma, What’s Happening... Etc. And I’m Glad that You paid homage to Malcolm X..
Thank you Jordan this show was so dear to me. I watched it religiously everyday as a kid.
Wow never knew the Malcolm X connection, Love your vlogs Jordan.
I like to include little known facts like that
In his autobiography, Malcolm said Redd would have him laughing all day as they washed dishes.
Midwest thang midwest boyz
Back then Redd Foxx was called Chicago Red and Malcom was Detroit Red
I went to the same elementary school as malcolm x
A show that always brings me laughs even though I saw all the episodes 100 times over. A legendary TV show made in a time when we were okay to laugh at ourselves. If you look closely at photo's during and after Sanford and Son, this truck went through more mild restorations than it appears. Keeping a patina on it makes it appear that not much has been done to it.
Nailed it, when it was okay to laugh at ourselves !!!. Every, Every, Every family tree regardless of flava HAS SAP. When we became brittle & spend most of the time finding fault in others in a CAUSTIC WAY, we lost comedy, and we became polarized. We didn't change the world for the better, We made it more reactive. I AM NOT SAYING BLACKS HAVE TO BE THE BUTT OF JOKES, I AM SAYING WE ALL NATURALLY ARE.
If u have watched it so much,how come u can't see this isn't the original truck ✓ this one & watch the intro, several major differences
When are they gonna do a movie about his life!...it can literally be a series!...so much to tell
A huge fan of the show here in the state of Maine. This is the one- and to see the one and only... I never knew the history of Redd fighting with Rich Producers over pay... Sit-coms started with Sanford and Son. Fred had the humor that made the era. It couldn't have been a high budget to run for the studio. I wish it could have lasted. The humor was genuine! I really enjoyed this piece! Tom Kipfer
I used to love this show. That cast was so good and so funny. You can't make shows like that anymore. I'm so happy they're taking such good care of that truck. It needed to be in the hands of people that would appreciate it.
Todays shows are pure goat tripe.
Awesome! I love how it's been kept original! It was certainly an iconic show.
One of my favorite shows
You could never do those types of shows today in this PC nutty world.. People can't even laugh at themselves
Yep.. racial comedy is considered racism now... it makes me wonder what's in store for the bext few years
@@DazewithJordantheLion Nothing good.. Hell everything is racism today no matter what even if not true.. People have been caught lying so much it has become meaningless
Tell me about it married with children All in the family sanford&son The Jeffersons you could never do these shows today because people are to DAMN sensitive!
@@coyoteboys2427 Just look at the woman's march they canceled because it was to "white".. Ironically the liberals don't have a problem with it but if a Republican went the other way people would lose their minds. The selective outrage these days is so hypocritical..
@Michael Gilmore so did our family.
It looks like the vent windows were put back in . I used to work for Bud Yorkin and he dressed with wild clothes back in the day. Driving around the wealthy areas and picking up things that people threw away really happens. I furnished my first apartment that way.
That's awesome Jordan. I grew up watching Sanford and Son. I own the series on DVD, and the theme song is my ring tone on my phone. I also wondered what happened to the truck. You never hear anything about it. Glad you found it and shared it with us. Another reason this is the best vlog on TH-cam! Thanks Jordan! Really enjoyed seeing it!
I feel the same. I love the theme, and the show.. top of my list
Same here Jeff Kidd only my mom uses the S&S theme for my ringtone cause she knows thats my favorite show LOL
Fred Sanford was my mentor when i was a kid, I too became just like him , A junk man for 40 years, what a interesting life
I always wondered what happened to that old truck. One of my favorite shows growing up. Believe it or not, I do salvage out of an old red pickup truck.
Great show, and you have done a lot of research. Thumbs up!!!
Wow! You really hit this one out of the park, Jordan! Keep up the good work! Thanks, I love it!
I loved Sanford and Son show still my favorite wish they had more episodes
agree
This is so cool!! I loved that show. You did an awesome job, Jordan. You are right when you say the truck is now in it’s proper place with the right people. They really care for the truck and the show. The autographs really make it all extra special.
I’m from Cleveland and I never knew about this, thank you Jordan, have fun in Cleveland.
Same here 😂😂😂😂
im from Columbus and never knew either.
Same here wow I gotta see this one!
Thanks for such wonderful memories, I got married in 1971 and til this day this is the only tv show that dates back to this in my mind, it is still fun telling my grandkids some of the jokes he told on that show, he was one of a kind and there will never be another Redd Foxx, Rest in Peace Fred Sanford
I’m so happy that truck is still around. That’s one truck I’ve always wanted to see in person. Definitely got to get over there and check it out
I wish HOT WHEELS would do a truck like this in 1 / 64 scale
instablaster...
Finally! Someone tells the real storied past of Redd Foxx. 🙏 Well done. There's some history with Sammy Davis in Vegas that was left out but your history check was very good. Outstanding piece of work my friend.
I wonder if the Demond Wilson ever actually got to drive the truck on the show when i see the truck it just makes me think of the classic fred line “you gotta pull out the choke or it won’t start!” 😂
Thanks for the history. The original British show was called “Steptoe & Son”. My favorite guy on the show (other than Redd) was Grady. EDIT: holy crap! The second you said ‘arthritis’ the first ad cut in. The ad?.... an arthritis drug! Lol. Btw, Fred would call it “Arthur-Itus”.
Yeah, I've watched Steptoe on TH-cam!
Wilfred Brimley from Beatles Hard Days night film was Steptoe.
Thanks Jordan, that was very cool!
The BBC Series was called Steptoe and Son, they used a horse and cart not a truck, it was about the son (Harold) and the father's (Albert) love/hate relationship,sadly the actors did not like each other in real life. Great Vlog loved hearing about the US version .
Albert was played by Wilfrid Brambell who was Paul Mc Cartney's grandfather in the Beatles "A Hard Days Night" movie. The running gag about the grandfather was "he's very clean" Which is the complete opposite of Albert who in one episode picked up their horse's manure and put it in a bucket with his bare hands then proceeded to eat his sandwich. : P
interesting thanks for sharing
I used to hear Steptoe and Son on my FMRadio app on my phone. That was a funny show.
"Steptoe and Son" were the original names of the Black American family that inspired the show. However, the family sued the creators in the U.S.A., but obviously because the characters in the UK were White-people the name "Steptoe and Son" remained.
Diane Jakeway thanks for sharing about the UK version. 💛😊
This was so much fun! Brought back a lot of memories of watching the show during its original run and many years afterward. Glad you were able to sit in the Big Dummy, Jordan! 😊
I watched Sanford and Son, really was a funny show!!.. One show, this lady came to their door, they open it, she said "Hi, I'm Nora Simpson.".. I would say that to my kids, always funny!.. Thank You!!.. Great Vlog!!!
Jordan this was an amazing Vlog. My uncle watched it with me today and he was so excited. This is one of his favorite shows and Actors. Thanks for bringing him a little joy today!!
The junkyard where it was found is not far from where I live in South Bend Indiana we often heard they had the truck I think my son actually seen it in there junkyard when he was growing up.Having travel to most of the old-time junkyards in the area picking up parts for his 37 Chevy and his other products
OMG!! what a wonderful history lesson! One of my favorite shows back then. Didn't know anything about Redd Fox. I'm very happy to see they got the truck. What an AWESOME experience for you. To sit in that famous truck. This is a historical vlog!!! Peace!!
1952 Ford pick up! Love that truck! Back in high school in 73 my buddy found a 53, it was red, some rust, with a 6cyl. 3 speed, we painted Sanford & Son on it even the Cops got a kick out of it! Never knew what became of that old bucket of bolts! But it ran good!
Early 50s trucks, Ford or chevy..is popular at Christmas..red trucks
Awesome vlog! I loved Sanford & Son growing up. I didn't realize Red Fox's real last name was Sanford, this was a great tv history lesson about Red Fox and the show. You do such a great job of doing tv history.
Just what year was this Sanford&son salvage pick-up truck?.
I hope the grandmother wasnt aunt Esther looking 🤔😆😆
My GF born & raised in Las Vegas told me she used to see this truck in the front yard of Redd Foxx's yard where he lived in Vegas for yrs til he died.
That's very true! I've read he kept it out front his house in vegas
Pretty cool that this truck still exists
I've often wondered what happens to TV and Movie cars. This is just TO COOL !! My Mom and I Loved this show, The Characters and Actors chosen to play them..... WELL DONE, they Nailed It ! Thank You, Jordan ! :)
This was one of the best creative shows that was ever created. I been watching Sanford and Son basically all my life. I was born in 1971 haha. I'm actually watching season 5 episode 18 as I'm watching you Jordan. I can't believe I hadn't seen your volg on Sanford and Son. Thank you again 10/03/2024💜💜
Jordan and Jah, you ought to have 380K subs instead of 38K! This channel rocks! I so enjoy watching you and can't wait each day to see the next video! You take me to places that I didn't even know existed and when I see these places I love them!
There are a lot of cool things in Ohio! I’m glad you got to sit in the truck and get the full experience. It made a great photo!
WOW, you know the shop is something special if they have a pic with jay Leno there, AWESOME!!!!
A great vlog over such an iconic show. Glad they kept the truck as it originally was. Nice job!!
I ran across this video today on TH-cam. I can add a little more history to this truck. On Labor Day weekend 1992 this car was auctioned at the Cruse auction in Auburn, Indiana. The car’s title was still in the name of John Sanford. I was one of the last bidders, and went out at about $5500. The winning bidder bought it for around $6500. I’ve thought many times that I wish I had bought the truck. Good video!
What I could never understand is, why every time Fred would call to report the truck stolen, he'd say it was a 1952.
i reamber when i wad a kid growing up in the 2010s this show would air on tv me and my grandpa would always watch it best show ever.
Love Sanford and Son! The British series was called Steptoe and Son. Wasn't as funny as Sanford and son..my absolute favorite parts were with Aunt Esther. The way they would banter at each other is still the best in television. Fish-eyed fool!
😂😂
(FRED) YOU BIG GORRILA !!
(ESTHER) YOU OLD HEATHEN !!
I still watch the original british version, was much better i thought.
Love your videos and I'm a HUGE Redd Foxx and Sanford and Son fan! I hope I get the chance to see this legendary truck one day myself! To me this is the most iconic TV show vehicle ever up there with Al Bundy's Dodge!
Wow! The truck is what drew me in, but I grew up watching this and never knew all that history, Capone, Sinatra, Malcolm X, thanks!
Loved the video! Nice history on the actors and show beginnings as well.
Thanks Jordan! All the work and research that you put into these vlogs really make it all worthwhile to watch! I remember this show growing up in the 70s and loved Redd Foxx comedy, thanks again Jordan!
I remember that lawsuit. Grady was on there quite a bit where Redd was absent. I forget the pretext they wrote for his abscence.
Even though this sitcom was created before I was born I still remember it just like it was yesterday. 1975 was the year I was born but I was watching this sitcom every week I didn't know that it was syndicated by then. LMAO
Great vlog. I would love to see this truck sometime. Too bad Redd Foxx didn't get to sign it. It's cool that there was only one truck used during the series, making it a one of a kind. Iconic cars like KITT and General Lee have been cloned by the studios since the shows revolved around the car.
The truck had actually been parked in front of Redd's home here in Las Vegas for quite some time. I used to drive past his house on Eastern Ave almost every day, and there it was, right out near the road. It was not enclosed in a fenced area, or otherwise protected from the public. Anyone could just come right up to it and check it out. No one ever vandalized it, and no one ever stole it, which just amazed me. I was certain that I'd pick up the newspaper someday to learn that the Sanford & Son Truck had been stolen, or that it had been covered in graffiti, but it never happened. I always felt that it should've been in a museum instead of out in the desert sun along a busy road in Las Vegas. Then one day it was gone. I always wondered what happened to it. Now I know. Thanks, Jordan.
Redd Foxx Got Really Pissed off when he Found out that Carroll O'Connor form " All in the Family " near the end of its run, he was getting $500,000 an episode, Redd said he wanted Norman Lear & Bud yorken to Match it . This is what was talked about in the late 70s
That was so awesome to see that truck. Thank you to Blueline Classics for saving a piece of history. Super cool of them to let you sit in it. Great stories about Redd Foxx, and the truck what a life it's had !!
Not only did they let me sit in it, but they were the ones who asked if i wanted to get in.. i didnt even have to ask.. i can't say enough great things about the people at Blueline
Oh WOW. thank you so much for this video. very clear camera. It actually brings tears to my eyes. I'm a BIG BIG fan.
The way Fred G. Sanford said "Arthur-itis" ... He made me laugh..
5argeTech /\ and the way he said what the g in his name stood for.
Wow! Only you Jordan. You Rock. You are about your business and we love your for that! This is a treat.
RIP, Redd Foxx. Thanks for the laughs...❤
I got a chance to visit this location and see the truck it was such a honor I was able to get in the truck it blew my mind back loved it so much never forget it
Fun vlog. Leave it to you to find the Sanford and Son truck. I would think it would be gone or in someone's private collection. Nice to see is has a loving home with people who care about it. Thanks for bringing us here today. Can't wait to see where you take us tomorrow. Hope you have some good time with your family while you're there. Take Care.
oh gosh. that show is one of my good childhood memories.. love that truck.
Most definitely one of my favorite TV shows of all time I have seen every single episode ever made Love Is sanford And son Surprise that truck is not in some museum somewhere
When that red truck came across the screen I knew technically it was bed time via momma’s watch, but by dads watch , we were allowed to stay up late to watch and always laughed out loud.
I used to go to see George Barris and the Batmobiles but I never got to see the Sanford and son truck. This is another of my all time faves. I would so love to have a truck like that! Howard Platt aka "Hoppy" used to come to our Chicago hot dog parties. Thanks for sharing this and some of the info about the show.
Bet yall never knew what that pole on the corner of the bumper was!! Its the only thing that was left of the original bumper guard!!
Just like Archie Bunker there is much humor in a cranky, non-politically correct , and stereotypical character. Types of humor most likely not allowed today on mainstream television.
You touched on it well in your blog here where it was not looked at as hateful but humor.
But people can say the most hateful things today but they criticize these epic shows.
The reason that Norman Lear’s shows worked was because the characters made fools of themselves.
Everyone has a chip on their shoulders these days!
People are too sensitive today wouldn't like the show screw them !
That’s wild! Who’d have thunk it would be in Ohio?!?!?! My father loves that show. If he was in better health, I’d take him up there
Not really surprised. We love history & cars.
In the 1980's the truck sat for awhile at a car dealership in Elkhart, IN. The windshield was missing. The windshield was removed to eliminate the windshield glare. when filming actors in the cab.
My father in law loved this vlog and wants to see the truck so badly. Thanks for the video, he watched his first vlog ever watching this.
I love that model of truck.That one would be a jewel to own.
Awesome work on this video!Thanks🤟
Nice to see the actors showing up for pictures and putting the signatures on the truck. Paul Michael Glaser even drives around in replicas of the Starsky & Hutch Torino that fans have built or purchased themselves. How cool is that...
To this day i still watch Sanford and Son almost everyday. I get on my binges every few years where i will literally watch it allday everyday for weeks
Okay - now that we've finished watching The Rockford Files, we'll give Sanford & Son a shot. Nothing could dethrone the Rockford Firebird from #1 on our list of TV cars to covet, but who knows how we'll feel after a season or two of S&S. Thanks!
My boyfriend watches this every night. I confess I used to watch it back in day.
Sanford and Son ahh!! Memories 😊 everytime I watch an episode, it's like time travel, I'm young again!!! This is like family too me. And so is that truck.
In 1972, my dad bought me a 1952 ford f1 just like that. I was 14. Same three speed on the column. Mine had the original 6 cylinder. Loved that truck. Until I was hit on the front wheel. It broke the engine away from the transmission, breaking the frame, put my head through the rear window cutting my head from ear to ear. Sad day. I was 16.
Loved all the knowledge you give us! I had no idea his name wasn’t Red and the Malcolm x connection! That’s why I love your vlogs Jordan you always put in facts! Thanks Jordan!
After hitchhiking and walking back from Vegas... hes finally home, tattered and dragging.., and Esther walks up behind him... he turns around and says " whaadoyaknow!!! One the horses followed me home!!!...
Jordan, you were channeling my childhood years here with this one. Thanks, great video as always.
Thank you
When I grow up, I want to be YOU! lol You go to the coolest places.and have THE most awesome doggo! Thanx so much for taking us along on all your adventures, and giving us all the details we never knew. I loved Sanford and Son. I mean, who didn't??
I remember watching that show with my grandfather he will love that show he was my granddad was kind of like Archie Bunker very Politically Incorrect back in the day.
He was a huge fan of red fox back in the day he passed away in 89 I used to sit and watch his show and also Archie Bunker as well I miss the old man!
I remember watching this as a child and I loved it. Ty for sharing this with us.
You're welcome
Great tv show, Jordan! Amos and Andy was also a great Show too!
Not really Amos and Andy were sellouts, Sanford and son was very warm and it maintains reds,humor and dignity I'm glad he hired a bunch of friends along.i hate how they cheated them out of the money they earned.
Redd was a legend in his time. I'm surprised that he left the show that made him famous. I wondered why Grady took over. Awesome truck. It's all there...😎
