The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Big Bolts Cut, Print, That's a Wrap!

Glenn Foster came to collect his 1946 Chevy 1 1/2 ton from the lot of the movie "Tree of Life" being filmed in Smithville, Texas. Seein' as how I live about 20 minutes away, I was glad to go meet up with Him and Ol' Blue. We both jumped in and took him for a spin through cool tree lined streets, stopped in at Zimmerhanzel's Bar-B-Que, and had a sampling of their best. Then we hopped back in Ol' Blue, headed to the lot, and waited for his transport to arrive. The driver was kind enough to snap off a picture for y'all, too. Enjoy!

Looks like you guys had fun. The transport company should have used Ol' Blue's Grandson to haul him though.

We did have a great time. It is getting very warm now, and just sitting in the truck waiting for the hauler, well, it was hot, but there was a breeze. What more can you hope for in Texas in the spring.

The truck is home without incident, and happily occupying his place on the driveway.

I'm impressed with how original Ol' Blue is.
The interior is so complete, I regret not taking a few more pics.
Feel free to stop on by the next time you're in the area.

I just read that The Tree of Life won top honors at the Cannes Film Festival. It is supposed to open Friday in the U.S. I bet it was "Old Blue" that helped them win. Congratulations Glenn!
