You sound like Ron Howard😂
Remember when life was actually fun and not depressing like today?
No, I don’t.
sorry your life sucks.....
Don’t think that was everyone’s experience
Yes I do
I think the cars of happy days is probably the most interesting thing about the show
THANK YOU 😊 for another AWESOME car video! And again, I don’t know how you guys do an AMAZING job on the voiceover but it’s pretty damn spot on!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Fonzi had a knucklehead ... now that's cool.
They were building a leadsled Mercury for Fonzie and it was almost complete when the show moved away from location filming to largely studio sets.
The single camera first season was the best. After that, it was three camera, hold for applause vaudville shtick. When they started styling their hair in modern blow dry jobs and Ted McGinley showed up, I knew they had jumped the shark. No, wait...
Turns out Ralph’s hot rod was built in New York and likely a studio rental car. The external exhausts were fakes added for the show and bolted to the engine - the pickup had a full exhaust system underneath. It was sold through Mecum auctions in 2018 and is apparently now in a museum or private collection.
Ralphs yellow hot rod is in the original Herbie the Love Bug 1968 for a very short scene when they're racing in Mexico
@@tommccallan8802 yes and if you watch closely it gets smashed into…
@@CycolacFan oh yea....I love that movie...
You can do a dozen updates with cars on Happy Days!
The first season was the best season of all for nostalgia. After that, it just became another sitcom. Still it was a great show 😊👍
True. It was a mid season replacement so the 1st season was short. Much of it on location shooting on the Arthur's Drive In set and various Courthouse Square scenes. I recall the Arthur's sign became just the A closeup and then Arnold's...finally Al's. 1st episode the diner shots show a hand-written sign "Under new management" and they start referring to it as Arnold's on ep2.
I think Arthur's was dressed for a movie that year...and Ep1 (written by Rob Meathead Reiner) was really the second pilot shot.
I think S2 was still good and sincere feeling through Christmas at least. S3 it started to fall into a static look. Then when The Odd Couple ended the producers decided to slide Fonz and the Happy Days into that production void.
As it was the show lasted 11 years...exceeding the 50s by 6 years having started in "1955". Sure the show became less and less authentic, but they obviously knew what they were doing
Show went down hill fast when they went to a studio audience. then there's the fateful jump the shark moment.
@@johnmcmullen456 yes it only lasted another mere 7 years on TV after that, Winkler became a generational star.... was on longer than Andy Griffith, I Love Lucy, Gilligans Island, Star Trek, Perry Mason, Magnum, Mission Impossible, Moonlighting.
Yes obviously the producers did not have a clue of how to run a successful US TV show.
Always got a kick out of Howard Cunningham's argument "What's wrong with a DeSoto?!" the first couple of seasons!
Season 1 was racy and many things introduced faded out or were just never to be seen again. Richy and friends got more action in season 1 that all other later seasons - Even Fonzie's Harley became a Triumph
And Richie's big brother disappeared.
I liked Happy Days much better before they went to studio filming in front of a live audience. That ruined it for me.
3:55 those tail lights look like and it look likes a late '40's Packard.
I really enjoyed the first half season,along with the second season, but I was not a fan of the third season,when they filmed before a live audience,and Fonzie got a leather jacket,and becomes the center of the show. I believe after Happy Days,jumped the shark it for me was never the same.
Nice work on the profile of the cars.
lot of sweeeeeeettt rides i seen
First 2 seasons were the best.
The 1933 ford V8 roadster has a modern Holley carburetor, way too new for the year the show was representing.
And slot mag wheels about ten years before they went on sale…
@@CycolacFanThere were many anachronisms throughout the series. They probably thought most viewers were too dumb to notice.
American Graffiti even had Mels... where the gang hung out
Ralph's hotrod was in an episode of green acres also
Also one of the Herbie movies in a race set in Mexico. Flames were supposedly done by Von Dutch.
nice video , you have a lot a research, i am 59
Best guest appearance Marcia Brady as a Hotrod gang girl won in a bet.
4:08 with the Corvette motor
You left out the ep where Fonzie jumps over a shark in a 1959 Buick Electra 225 4-door, 6-window Riviera hardtop.
1946 DeSoto a real boat
Rumoured to have dated a sailor. Ohh, the scandal!
I thought Fonzie's motorcycle was a Triumph
They used both the Harley and a Triumph 500.
back when a part time job would pay for a lot of things
fonzie would off lost ,,,flat head v8 the other guy had a built 327 Holley in the 50,s ?
An old auto-body guy that taught me in the 70s said he ran a flathead in his 34 Ford pu and always beat the small block Chevys at the drags. The low end torque gave him a huge jump off the line with the Chevy gaining the whole 1/4mi but he'd could get over the finish line before the Chevy went by him. With todays tech this would not have the same results.
Stock vs stock, yes the Chevy would win. But, flat head V8 hot rod tech was way ahead of the newer Chevy V8 design. In general, it took a few years for the aftermarket support to get established and Chevy to rule.
Amazing video, you work for 40yrs to have $1M in your retirement, meanwhile some people are putting just $10K into trading from just few months ago and now they are multimillionaires
Waking up every 14th of each month to $210,000 it's a blessing to I and my family... Big gratitude to Ann Marie strunk🙌🏼
Hello, I am very interested. As you know, there are tons of investments out there and without solid knowledge, I can't decide what is best. Can you explain further how you invest and earn?
Same, I operate a wide- range of Investments with help from My Financial Adviser. My advice is to get a professional who will help you, plan and enhance your management skills. For the record, working with Ann Marie strunk, has been an amazing experience.
Hello how do you make such monthly?? I'm a born Christian and sometimes I feel so down of myself because of low finance but I still believe in God
I'm favoured, $90K every week! I can now give back to the locals in my community and also support God's work and the church. God bless America,, all thanks to Ms Ann Marie strunk😊
The cars dissapeared after the show stopped being filmed on location and moved to all studio.
Happy Days initially was to be a studio audience show like The Odd Couple and Dick van Dyke (all the producers and directors came from or were doing that successfully in 1971).
Love and the Television was not picked up...but Paramount reconsidered after American Graffiti and the 2nd pilot (ep 1) was almost like a prequel to AG. The street life and drive in was key to AG and therefore Happy Days as a TV knockoff of AG.
Expensive to produce for mediocre ratings...it was slipped back into a studio show after a couple of establishment seasons...since Odd Couple completed.
After that no more cars. We'll very little
You sound like Richie
Aaaaa👍
So little of Happy Days had to do with the cars. That really detracted from the show. The characters were not car guys. They NEVER talked about cars. Guys with hotrods talk about cars.
I love seeing old cars in the early episodes.
These cars weren’t so classic 50yrs ago
