Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Stories (Model T Ford related)

Post by Will_Vanderburg » Wed Aug 28, 2019 3:56 pm

Anybody remember the mystery story published by Hitchcock about a Model T Ford? He didn't write it, but it was in a collection of short stories he published.

A man had something to do with a Model T in his youth and something happened to cause the car to have a grudge against him. The car followed him everywhere he went, and he knew it was the same car, because he had memorized the serial number. Years and years went by and this car followed him.

He finally bought a piece of property high up so he could see for miles and miles and would notice if anyone or anything was coming to visit.

He stepped out on his property one day and a horrific whistling noise could be heard. Suddenly a huge crate falling from the sky landed on the man, killing him instantly. The crate broke open and inside was a Model T Ford.

The car had jumped from a passing plane, CRATE AND ALL, to get it's revenge.

My car finds it much easier to exact his revenge upon me!
