4x4Founder Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 And a Dodge M1918 Light Repair Truck too! There's a rather silly TV series called "Ghost Whisperer" on CBS. Don't normally watch it, but I did last night because I saw a promo for it and caught a glimpse of an FWD Model B. Below is the synopsis. I don't recognize the Model B as one I know, but I think the Dodge is the one that belongs to the Fort MacArthur Museum in San Pedro, CA... which makes sense because the show is filmed in SoCal. Maybe they have a Model B as well. I haven't done any research. If I'd had some warning, I would have spread the word. Those of you in the USA will have to watch for this episode to repeat. I don't know if this show is running in the UK, but if it is, you'll see it eventually. The plot and story were inane. The star, Jennifer Love Hewitt, is not difficult to look at but that doesn't carry the rest of the show. To save turning your mind into a gelatinous mass from watching the entire show, the Model B appears notably in the last five minutes, where Hewitt's character sit in it, talks with a ghost and sends it off, "to find the light." The Dodge pops up a few times, starting about the middle of the show, but if you look you can see the B then too. "Implosion" New, 3/05/2010, Drama, Paranormal, Supernatural A ghost who is aware of a hidden munitions dump with unexploded bombs confides in Melinda that one of the bombs, which has gone missing and has fallen into the wrong hands, will ultimately cause someone to lose their life.

bobs1918 Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 hello Ft MacArthur does own an FWD and a 1918 Dodge Repair truck. Here is a pic of their FWDhttp://www.globalarray.net/user/bobspics/fwd.JPG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great War truck Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 That looks like Hayes Otoupalik's old FWD. Montana plates too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4x4Founder Posted March 24, 2010 Author Share Posted March 24, 2010 That looks like the one in the story, but I think they removed the spotlight for filming. I the story they also had some "ghosts" running around in WWI era uniforms. She sees dead people and in her world, they are everywhere.

FWDTEXAS Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Fabulous picture, my info is that that one came out of the desert, see my post of "where are they now" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great War truck Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Yes, it is one of the two Furrer FWD's. One went to hayes, the other to Gordon Clare who eventually sold it to Hayes. I have a photo of them (Gordon and Hayes) together with that FWD somewhere. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great War truck Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Gordon in the driving seat and Hayes standing alongside. A well travelled FWD. Photo courtesy of Hayes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4x4Founder Posted March 25, 2010 Author Share Posted March 25, 2010 If the one at MacArthur is Claire's, then that's one I have driven. Did I hear right that Gordon has passed on? He was kinda frail at the time I drove the truck at an MVPA show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minesweeper Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 As far as I know, he is still going strong. I write to him from time to time and have no indication that he is no longer with us. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4x4Founder Posted March 25, 2010 Author Share Posted March 25, 2010 Or maybe you are writing to a ghost and need to call in the Ghost Whisperer? ( : < ) Seriously, glad to hear he's OK. My memory was obviously not accurate in this case. It was some FWD owner, though, I feel sure . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
