A Christmas Story
Released: 1983
Runtime: 94 min
Director: Bob Clark
Writers: Jean Shepherd, Based on the novel:
"In God
We Trust, All Others Pay Cash" by Leigh Brown.
Ralphie Parker has to convince his parents, his teacher, and Santa that a
Red Ryder B.B. gun really is the perfect gift for the 1940s.
The Parker Family’s
1937 Oldsmobile Six (officially called the F-37) was a full-sized
car that occupied the lower end of Oldsmobile’s model range. Selling in the
$810-$965 price range, the Six was advertised as a car that featured a
combination of power, economy, and luxury at a reasonable price. The car was
powered by a 230 cubic-inch inline-6 engine, which was good for 95 horsepower. It
was fitted with a streamlined all-steel body shell that featured a number of
Art Deco styling cues, including a turret top, a grille with 7 horizontal bars,
and skirted fenders. The Six was a very successful car for Oldsmobile and
137,613 of them were built during the 1937 model year.
A classic that will endure. Great movie.
