There was also a playing in 2003 for a Taurus where a clueless old man chose 4 instead of 2 for the 1st number, he had 4 numbers right, so it was obvious that only the 4 needed to be changed to 2. When looking at the audience, he said to change the “5” at first when there wasn’t a 5 up there, but luckily, he changed the 4 and won. I also remember a playing for a Pontiac Vibe in the mid 2000s where a dumb lady chose 3 instead of 1 for the 1st number, only had 1 number right, and she made the mistake of keeping the 3 when the 1 number right was a 0 at the end.
I don’t know how often you watch the show, but I remember this happening quite a few times over the years, and I believe it happened twice this past season, both playings being for Corollas.
It's probably painfully obvious that I watch Barker Era TPIR too much! I specifically thought back at how many times I've seen someone only get 1 number right and it happened to be the first, and most obvious, number.
Also, I don't watch Drew's TPIR , at least on purpose. Just snippets here and there on UA-cam. I gave it a chance early on when Rich Fields was still announcer.
When playing this game unless it is all 5, you only want “one” number right because it is almost always the first number you selected. So you simply change the rest and you win!
One contestant in 1990 played for a Corvette and got zero numbers right on the first try. That is believed to be the last time that happened in this game, though a few may have gotten zero for four in the 80s when the game was played for four digit cars.
That clip is part of my first Lincoln collage video where the dumb woman COULD have been in the same situation as Tracy here playing for the van but actually thought a new Lincoln only costs in the teens.

This occurred a couple of times in late 2006 during Bob's final season. Especially with the excitable Connie!!!
See, I love it when a guaranteed win scenario happens in these games.

That was actually for a Lincoln Mark VII, not a Corvette.

I remember that one and I made the same mistake because I thought the Lincoln was a Mercury Cougar which looked the same
Well guys, it happened again on today’s episode, 9/20/2022! For a Volkswagen Taos.
