"Set a
spell! Take yer shoes off. Y'all come back, y'hear?"
An enduring image in The Beverly Hillbillies was their time-honored vehicle -- a 1922 or '23 flatbed truck. That opening vignette showed them arriving in Southern California: "they loaded up the truck and moved to Beverly; Hills, that is." The Clampetts continued to drive it around town, this unapologetic symbol of their strong-willed independence and immunity to social pressures or the scorn of snobbish neighbors.
The truck? it's an Oldsmobile.
