Mother car, trip, swing & themes

Anyone ever seen any episodes of this series, My Mother The Car?
If a dead relative or friend came back to me via a vehicle, hope they would choose something better!

Wonder if this swing would make it today:
 
Along with featuring TV themes on Tuesday, Thursday now features movie themes. This post was also the 1,000th for my website:

A good friend in our local club has owned for many years one of the two "1928 Porters" from the My Mother The Car TV series.

 

Action photo below was taken last year — the driver is Randall Whipple, who played the roll of eight-year-old Randy Crabtree in the series. Whipple had occasionally been allowed to sit, only, in the car back in the 1960s; he was pretty tickled to get the chance to drive it decades later!

 

Period photo is the Crabtree family from My Mother The Car (from left): the late Maggie Pierce, Jerry Van Dyke, Randall Whipple, and Cindy Eilbacher.

Ohhhh, Chris ... that is so awesome!  What a cool connection ... especially with Whipple driving it!  Do you know which of the 2 your friend owns?
