Gone with the Wind was set
during and after the Civil War, this

devastation of the south and follows the romance
between fiery and willful Scarlett O'Hara and
dashing gun runner Rhett Butler
"There was a land of
cavaliers and cotton fields. Called the
old south. Here in this
pretty world gallantry took it's last
bow.
Here was the last ever to be
seen of knights and their ladies
fair of master and of slave.
Look for it only in books for
it is no more than a dream
remembered.
A civilization gone with the
wind.

After telling Scarlett
of Ashley's impending marriage
to Melanie

You can see the magnificent
"Tara" in the background.
One of Gone With the Winds
most famous pictures, if Scarlett had
only known how much Rhett
loved her. Maybe his last words
wouldn't have been
"Frankly My Dear I don't give a damn"

Thank you so much Shari.
The red dress that Rhett made
Scarlett wear to Melanie's party
after the rumors of her and
Ashley being together. Melanie
greeted her with open arms,
just like the great lady that she
was. Always forgiving
and never believing rumors.
Rhett gambling with the
Captain
while he was in prison.
Scarlett went to the prison to
beg Rhett
for money so she can save
"Tara" from
the tax men.
Some of the great posters
advertising the movie, very
collectible pieces of
memorabilia
These are some great pictures
of a truck that we saw at the
truck show in Las Vegas.
The art work on this truck is
incredibly beautiful.
The pictures that were taken
inside
of the truck didn't come out
well enough
to post on this site.
The inside of this truck
is just like the beautiful
sets in the movie.
This picture was on the side
of this big Rig
These are just a few of the
pictures and
collectibles that I have found
in my travels.
