I'd like to give her the Malachi crunch! Hubba, hubba!

 

You mean this one?

 

That blue bucket was in the first episode.

Haven’t seen this show since I was a kid
Cool cars

But what happened to chuck ?
Took his ball and climbed the stairs never to be seen again!!!

 

Went to college and never came back......

 

He went to collage and became a professional student.....still is! JW

 

Actually, rumor has it Chuck was hauled in by the guys from Car 54, Where Are You? Perry Mason couldn't get him off.
The Cunninghams don't like to talk about it...

 

What did he get nailed for????.... Stop light drags?????....

 

excessive dribbling. JW

 

SO, anyone got any good pics of Ralph's car? JW

 

And, what a shame that "her little sister character was called Leather." is how most people in this country refer to Suzi Quatro. Here's her Wikipedia page:

Susan Kay Quatro[1]:2 (born June 3, 1950) is an American rock singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and actress. She was the first female bass player to become a major rock star.[2]:1–3[3]

In the 1970s, Quatro scored a string of hit singles that found greater success in Europe and Australia than in her homeland. She reached no. 1 in the UK and other European countries and Australia with her singles "Can the Can" (1973) and "Devil Gate Drive" (1974). Following a recurring role as bass player Leather Tuscadero on the popular American sitcom Happy Days, her duet "Stumblin' In" with Smokie's lead singer Chris Norman reached No. 4 in the US.

Quatro released her eponymous debut album in 1973. Since then, she has released fifteen studio albums, ten compilation albums, and one live album. Her other solo hits include "48 Crash", "Daytona Demon", "The Wild One", and "Your Mama Won't Like Me".

Between 1973 and 1980, Quatro was awarded six Bravo Ottos. In 2010, she was voted into the Michigan Rock and Roll Legends online Hall of Fame. Quatro has sold over 50 million albums[4] and continues to perform live, worldwide. Her most recent studio album was released in 2019 and she also continues to present new radio programmes.[5]

 

I read an interview years ago where Henry admitted he did not ride and that the Triumph used in the show was actually one of Steve Mc Queens bikes. Always thought that was kind of cool. Larry

 

As an aside, does anyone remember the band? They played one song, an instrumental version of "All Shook Up", mimicing the Hooterville Fire Department in that regard, whose only tune was "A Hot Time In The Old Town Tonight".

 

I remember the band ''Johnny Fish And The Fins'' who were actually ''Flash Cadillac And The continental Kids'', same band as in AG. JW

 

You guys are really Square

 

Ralph's roadster pickup sold last year at Mecum for $80k, there are some good pictures still on their site.

 

Good catch. They should have taken it, the number of people who would pay a premium for a car from Happy Days is probably dropping by the day.

 

Believe me, it looked a lot better in the movie than in real life.

 

Here's one we missed.

 

Amen, not much to look at. Flathead Ford with upside down SBC headers not hooked to anything.

 

How about Rudy's Green Flame?

 

I went to school with Marion Ross's nephew back in 74, 75. He had a stack of pictures from the various sets and with all the characters. They were going to confiscate his film but Marion stepped in. Anyway, he said they had to push those cars because some of them wouldn't start and some didn't have engines in them. Show biz is tough.

 

As an investigator I have had to research a few vehicles with claims of being a "movie" car.
I contacted Paramount Studios and found they have a database for all vehicles used in movies, commercials and TV. If you have the VIN they can provide all the info on the vehicle.

 

Sadly it looks like this now in Don Garlits museum. Top pic.

 

Yep..some shots I have for reference for a model I'm building from misc.parts that I have gathered from my junk boxes
