I was 15 years old in 1958 when that show came on TV and immediately fell in love with Kookies car. I vowed to have one and began my build 10 years later in 1968. I've had the car for 40 years now and have changed about every part on it too many times

LOL, in 1960, when I was 12, me and my best buddy wrote a script for a 77 Sunset Strip episode. Our parents said it was very good and we should send it in, which we did. We never heard anything back, of course, but to this day, I believe an episode they did about a year later was based on our script.

Wow in 1960 I wasn't even a thought in my fathers mind...hell he was only 15! Okay maybe a thought....

:lol:

We didn't get 77 Sunset Strip where I lived , only had one tv channel back then. The movie "The Lively Set" is what did it for me as far as T-Buckets went. I think the T was Tommy Ivo's car, anyone know about the roadster? The Chrysler experimental turbine car appears in the movie also. Hope the links work.

mike's right tv tommy's bucket was a '15 front half of a touring. this bucket is the front of a early '20's dodge touring. rummer has it when doug mcclure first saw the dodge he almost took a walk. after the filming was finished he offered good bucks for the car but the owner wouldn't sell.

thanks for posting it WDP. i just finished watching it for the third time!!

Cool vid! I've got it saved from a while back on YouTube. 1960... I was a squirt runnin' around with a load in my diaper!:lol: I would have really messed up the seats!:lol:

 

[tfeverfred]

Okay, the "Lively Set" vids KICKED BUTT! DAMN I NEEDED THAT!

Now, ain't there something not right with a guy in a suit tearing up a hot rod!? Well, unless he's wearing a tuxedo. Right, Rick?

 

[butch27]

That was Joe Parenello's? car from the San Deigo Prowlers club. No one knows whatever happened to it. Beautiful Dodge!
