77 sunset strip other hotrod

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by nostalgia59, Apr 23, 2007.

  1. Besides the "Cookie car" I remember seeing a 30-31 ford 2 door touring being used on the series. Does anyone know anything about this car, the owner or the fate of this not so famous car? Sorry about the **** photo....

    Pretty sure I saw a fendered tub on there that some kids were driving around in on a movie lot scene. Wasn't the Kookie car that's for sure. Episode where somebody is trying to ***asinate an arab sheik

  10. I,ve been watching the series and this car was probably used more than the Kookie Kar. Any way this car got me interested in cars at the age of 12. It wasn't flashy, just a simple hotrod very indicative of the cars in that era, 1959-64....

    That car was also used by Kookie and Roscoe in "The Chrome Coffin" episode after Norm Grabowski sold the "Kookie Car" to Dayton, Ohio's Jim Skonzakis, aka Jim Street.

    The "Chrome Coffin" was the 15th episode of the 4th season of 77 Sunset Strip

    I remember that phaeton. I fell in love with it and always wanted one like it. I thought I saw the same car on The Real McCoys also.
