alsfarms Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 OK, this question is for your Mini Series gurus that are all knowing. "Thorn Birds" stared Richard Chamberlain and is actually a depressing but interesting OLD mini series. Its one of those series where you just keep saying...."awww come on". No body ever gets anything close to what they want but tears and unhappiness. Now for the auto trivia. In the first two or three episodes "Frank" the Priest (Richard Chamberlain) is driving a big red touring car that looks to be early/mid teens and likely US built. What is it? This is your test question for the day! Al PS: Yes I am watching this series on VCR....if I can stay with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike6024 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I remember watching that back when it came out, along with my mom. She did not like it; being Catholic, priests are not supposed to be running around looking for sex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsfarms Posted April 12, 2021 Author Share Posted April 12, 2021 Or messing around with people's emotions and no one can possibly ever find happiness.....wrong. the Fiat certainly looks similar but the top assembly may have been changed. I noticed that most of the utility vehicles were all left hand drive Model A Ford's. I would have thought Oz was firm on right hand steering?

Guest Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Apparently it was filmed in Hawaii. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1167375/Instant-vomit-The-Thorn-Birds-author-gives-damning-verdict-iconic-TV-series.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsfarms Posted April 13, 2021 Author Share Posted April 13, 2021 Hmmmm, I guess my thoughts on all the trucks being Left hand drive was addressed if Thorn Birds was filmed in Hawaii and not Oz. Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike6024 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 It is set in Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsfarms Posted April 13, 2021 Author Share Posted April 13, 2021 Yes, that's why I questioned all the left hand steering Model A Ford's. But then it was suggested that it was filmed in Hawaii. That answered the left hand right hand issue. I would like to see where a current remake could go with the story line. Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
