The Oldsmobile from 'A Christmas Story' is still going strong:

• "Some men are Baptists. Others Catholics. My father was an Oldsmobile man." The actual car in the movie was a 1937 Oldsmobile Six touring sedan, and it's still on the road.Oldsmobile has had a few modifications added over the years but is still delighting anyone who sees it.Except, of course, it wasn't “fudge.” On-screen, Old Man Parker's eyes widen, his jaw drops open, and he leans one arm on the fender of his beloved-but-recalcitrant 1937 Oldsmobile.

At the age of five, huddled in the back seat, I was already being soundly indoctrinated into one of the great American myths, specifically the belief that all drivers from neighboring states are crazy and those from a specific neighboring state are lethal. was largely filmed in Canada . It was a low-budget affair, and many of the classic cars that appear in it were driven by locals braving the salty, slushy snow of an Ontario winter. Thanks to the memorable tire-changing scene , this 1937 Oldsmobile is now a crowd-pleaser, but for a long time, it was just hidden away.A couple of months after filming wrapped, and before the movie premiered, the car was sold to a local.

A mechanic by trade, Grondin has had to do some work on the car, including hand-making new window guides. You have to think that, if Old Man Parker had actually existed, he'd have approved of the way his Olds still required a little elbow grease to keep going, and that wasn't tucked away in some museum.
