1954 Aston Martin DB2/4 Drophead Coupe MkI The Birds (1963)	dsl	Quote - "I'm often asked about the Aston Martin that was used in the Alfred Hitchcock film, The Birds. The AMOC register tells us that it was a DB2/4 Drophead coupe that was loaned to Universal Studios in 1963 especially for the film. I believe that the car still exists and lives in the US." - http://www.astonmartins.com/feltham/db2_4_drophead_coupe.htm . Some gossip about the car at http://www.amoc.org/component/option,com_wrapper/Itemid,118/ .	2011-10-11 21:49

Seagrave The Birds (1963)	piperjoe4273	Definately a Seagrave	2010-12-26 17:14
Seagrave The Birds (1963)	rjluna2	ehass@yahoo.com is correct, it is Seagrave due to the bonnet style.	2010-11-09 03:13

Seagrave The Birds (1963)	ehass@yahoo.com	This is NOT an Ahrens-Fox! It's a Seagrave Suburbanite or Metropolite, probably one of the many that Los Angeles City Fire Dept. bought in 1923-1924, many of which survive today, such as at http://www.ombac.org/homepage/images/fire_e2.jpg 1. No silver ball on the front, and classic Seagrave centrifugal pump layout under seat (see http://www.ombac.org/homepage/images/fire_e6.jpg) same style and location of pump handles and gauges. 2. Vertically elongated gas tank between seat and hose bed--shorter on an Ahrens-Fox and mounted top front of hose bed. 3. Note rounded hood with two sets of hood louvres separated by gold-leaf numerals inside an oval--just like this Los Angeles Seagrave pumper: Link to "www.lafire.com" On an Ahrens-Fox, the hood is gable shaped (square, pointy) and the hood louvres are continuous across the hood, with no gaps between louvres. 4. Copper chemical tank between seat and hose bed--an Ahrens-Fox would have had a painted booster tank, and like the gas tank, it would have been mounted atop hose bed. 5. Top-mounted booster reel. On an Ahrens-Fox, the reel was in a well cut into the tail step. 6. Sheet metal under hose bed. On an Ahrens-Fox, no sheet metal there, just inverted-V shaped support brackets. If you want to see a real Ahrens-Fox in a movie (a 1922 Model K-S-4 ex-Long Beach, then owned by Glen Alton, who died in 1957), check out the 1951 Bob Hope film "My Favorite Spy". That same Ahrens-Fox now belongs to Richard Stacks of San Francisco, is restored and is one of 4 Ahrens-Foxes on display in Long Beach Fire Museum. The 1951 Hope movie also features a 1914 Seagrave service ladder truck.	2010-11-09 02:33
1962 Ford Galaxie 500 Town Victoria [75A] The Birds (1963)	modell	Don't know why this is 3 stars...it's barely even 2 stars because we don't see anyone get in- it just pulls out of the shot. BTW, it makes me wonder why Mitch chose to use Melanie's small soft-top convertible instead of this. He did say the Aston was faster than the pick-up but did not mention this car.	2010-07-16 01:55
1961 Chrysler Newport The Birds (1963)	plymouth-guy	Ha! One year later! I got a better view while watching the film tonight, I can verify it is a four door sedan. No way to tell if its a Newport or Windsor though.	2010-02-01 03:55
1953 International Harvester Travelall The Birds (1963)	62imperial	The three rear side windows and the single rear window identify this as an International Travelall, most likely 1953 or '54.	2009-09-20 07:46
1961 Chrysler Newport The Birds (1963)	plymouth-guy	It is a four door sedan and it is not a New Yorker (the grille is different). It is either a Newport or Windsor which can only be determined by side moldings and they are not readily visible.	2009-01-17 21:58
1954 Aston Martin DB2/4 Drophead Coupe MkI The Birds (1963)	haggicide	A good friend of mine is a British car restorer, and he told me of restoring this car a number of years ago, possibly early-'80s.	2008-12-29 01:00
1948 John Deere Model A The Birds (1963)	whizard	This has to be a 1948 model or later. For instance, look at the lights and the seat (visible in the movie), which are both distinctive traits of 1948 and later "Model A"s.	2008-11-14 05:05

1960 Ford Fairlane 500 Fordor Sedan The Birds (1963)	carguy60	The Ford crest on the hood tells me this is a Fairlane 500, Fairlanes had the letters F-O-R-D on the hood.	2008-07-06 20:06
1955 Buick Century Four Door Riviera [63] The Birds (1963)	58Roadmaster	I totally agree with this as a Century Riviera, model [63] (no "R"). Four-door hardtops of 1955 available only in Special and Century series. As Ray B. said 4 portholes=Century. No four-door Roadmaster Riviera 1955, and A-pillar wing window not consistent with Super/Roadmaster either.	2008-07-01 10:50
1961 Chrysler Newport The Birds (1963)	58Roadmaster	This is not a convertible. It appears to be a four door sedan. Agree that it could be a Newport or Windsor; consider changing to unknown model? -- Last edit: 2008-07-01 11:03:53	2008-07-01 10:43
1961 Ford Falcon Ranchero The Birds (1963)	Mad Mac	You are correct, Super88, it is definitely a 1961 Ford Ranchero.	2008-03-01 02:35
1962 Ford Galaxie 500 Town Victoria [75A] The Birds (1963)	Mad Mac	Agreed, definitely a 1962 Ford Galaxie 500 Town Victoria Fordor Sedan, Factory Sand Shell Beige Exterior. In this scene early on in the movie, Mitch Brenner, played by Rod Taylor, pulls away from the San Francisco pet store but not before Melanie Daniels played by Tippi Hedron, makes a note of his license plate number which she uses to track him to Bodega Bay.	2008-03-01 02:26
1961 Chrysler Newport The Birds (1963)	carspoter	Might be a Newport.	2008-02-20 08:40
1955 Buick Century Four Door Riviera [63] The Birds (1963)	Ray B.	4 portholes, 4 doors, some chrome writing on the rear door that begins with a C, this is a Century 4 door Riviera. -- Last edit: 2007-11-05 22:45:09	2007-11-05 22:44

1954 Aston Martin DB2/4 Drophead Coupe MkI The Birds (1963)	14stutz	Anyone know if the specific car is identified or if it still exists? Yes, three stars for "The Birds"....maybe four! -- Last edit: 2007-07-25 05:05:35	2007-07-25 05:05
1953 International Harvester Travelall The Birds (1963)	carfan	Or a Dodge Town Wagon maybe?	2006-11-13 14:19
The Birds (1963)	sixcyl	merci pour cet avis éclairé d'un Amateur	2006-07-26 13:13
The Birds (1963)	archi87	sixcyl wrote es couleurs sont pluôt belles,parfois on dirait presque des tableaux de peintres hollandais En fait, certains décor sont des mat-paintings, comme par exemple les ciels lointains quand Tippi Hedren traverse la baie en bateau (vues avec la ville ou avec l'océan en arrière plan). C'est pour cela que la lumière est si belle. Ce sont des effets spéciaux beaucoup plus discrets que les oiseaux, mais bien plus beaux. Ce n'est pas non-plus mon Hitchcock favori, mais la lumière, les couleurs et l'image sont magnifiques.	2006-07-25 23:17
1956 Ford F-250 The Birds (1963)	Firebird86	its not an F-100 or F-150 with 8 lug wheels and a Floating Dana axle in the back, definitely 250 -- Last edit: 2006-06-07 21:20:22	2006-06-07 21:19
1947 Studebaker ½-Ton Pickup [M-5] The Birds (1963)	Carfan	In this scene, this guy should know not to smoke a cigar near a gas station.	2006-06-07 19:50
1954 Aston Martin DB2/4 Drophead Coupe MkI The Birds (1963)	Carfan	three stars.	2006-06-07 19:48
1956 Ford F-250 The Birds (1963)	Carfan	I didn't know ford use the f-250 name in the 1950's. The most popular truck i knew they made back then was the F-100. did they have the F-350?	2006-06-07 19:48
1956 Ford F-250 The Birds (1963)	qwerty_86	1956 Ford F-250	2006-05-01 05:03
1956 Ford F-250 The Birds (1963)	Big Tone	F-250, ford started biulding F-250s in 1953 -- Last edit: 2006-05-01 05:03:09	2006-05-01 04:35
1956 Ford F-250 The Birds (1963)	carfan	They didn't have the F-250 in 1963. This is an F-100	2006-04-25 18:44
1961 Ford Falcon Ranchero The Birds (1963)	Super88	I know for sure it's a 1961 Falcon. It has a ponted grill. The '60 had a flat grill. My first car was a 1961 Falcon Wagon. From this angle, it even looks like it could be a Ranchero instead of a regular Falcon. Super88	2006-04-24 05:34
Seagrave The Birds (1963)	wrenchhead	I agree Ahrens Fox, NS-4 circa 1925. See: http://216.55.190.32/idcow/products/24yms2002_009.jpg -- Last edit: 2006-04-16 16:20:13	2006-04-16 16:17
1961 Chevrolet Apache [C-10] The Birds (1963)	Ddey65	1961.	2006-04-11 05:25
1961 Chrysler Newport The Birds (1963)	Saturn Simon	Not a 300C, but a 1961 New Yorker.	2006-01-29 17:00
Seagrave The Birds (1963)	Junkman	Appears to be a mid 20s Ahrens-Fox. Any chance of a pic from the front?	2006-01-10 18:11
1951 Cadillac Series 62 Sedan The Birds (1963)	MrCadillac	I say it's a Series 62 sedan, not a "60S" (the latter would have visible chevrons on the rear fender). Also the year could be either '51 or '52 (not enough front clip detail to tell). True, the '52 models introduced the "gold" anodized "V" and crest; however, this car is in such poor condition, that "gold" trim could have worn off.	2006-01-10 01:21
1948 John Deere Model A The Birds (1963)	greenbank	This is a John Deere Model A, a late "styled" model with the pressed steel front support. It would be anywhere from a 1946 to a 1952.	2006-01-02 10:41
1953 International Harvester Travelall The Birds (1963)	Saturn Simon	Looks like an early Chevrolet Suburban	2005-12-28 17:32
1961 Chevrolet Apache [C-10] The Birds (1963)	ArnaultL	Oui, désolé, cela peut etre un Apache. Je ne sais plus si ça designe une finition ou un modèle. Je penche a 90 % pour la désignation d'un modèle.	2005-12-28 11:09
