[/ QUOTE ] Kookie would pull a comb out of his back pocket and comb his duck tails all the time on the show. He became a teenage idol. There was a girl song that hit the charts.."Kookie Kookie lend me your comb." Years later Fonzie was supposed to copy the act but, the actor came up with the cl***ic pose looking in the mirror...My hair is perfect and doesn't need to be combed! Kookie started it.
it was a cool show but I was always disapointed that they didn't show more of the car! just a glimpse of it zipping around a corner or screeching to a stop, they should have made an episode of ONLY the car in it!! hahaha Paul
The Kookie T was the Grabowski T was it not? As well as the T was Grabowski's intro/ticket into the movies as an actor.
yes it was , I met Byrnes at the BTT50's 2 years ago , same ****y guy as the show and not a car guy , but interesting anyway.Called me "bro" god !I hate that. BTW "war of the worlds" is on turner cl***ics right now,ya ,old movie buff.
Mutt, thanks for the link. I fell in love with the kookie T the first time I saw pics of it. Everything looks right on it. The paint and the flames really accent each other. I always wanted to build a replica of it, but I figured everyone else has and I'd look like I was jumpin on the band wagon. later plmczy
I vaguely remember the show...wish it was still on! I remember in one episode the Kookie Kar was supposed to race another Hot Rod, the "Chrome Coffin". Anyone remember that episode? Love to see a pic of the two of them together. Anyone know anything about the Chrome Coffin? What was it? The name just stuck in my mind all these years... Bill
Marty Hollmann's 1915 Ford T bucket was the "Chrome Coffin". It was the feature car in the "Chrome Coffin" which was the 15th episode of the 4th season of "77 Sunset Strip". It was also the car that the Lindberg "Bobtail T" model was based on. Marty & Norm Grabowski were friends. Norm was member #10 and Marty was member #11 of the L.A. Roadsters club. <!-- / message --><!-- attachments -->
Gotta watch out for guys that call you "Bro" As an old biker explained to me, BRO means Bend Right Over.
The following is a copyrighted (can't copy the photos) link to the "Chrome Coffin" episode. Marty Hollmann's 1915 Ford T-Bucket is pictured here (top right & lower left) and was the "Chrome Coffin" that was the namesake for the episode. It drag raced without the windshield installed. Rather "tacky" decal on the side, but a very cool car nonetheless. http://www.sd455.com/movie77sunset.htm
Highway Patrol would be Broderick Crawford .... Phil Silvers was Sgt. Bilko Why do I remember this ****......??
I remember the show,like you guys said, not enough of the car. I built that model kit when I was like 9? It was 1/8 scale and seemed huge. Does anyone remember an episode of the "Real McCoys" that featured some hot rods drag racing?

They had a bunch of rods on that show, even some drag racing stuff....with Mainard G Grebs
