So Im watching my netflix DVD of the Gidget TV show with Sally Field and in the episode "A Hearse, A Hearse, my kingdom for a hearse" she joins the high school auto shop and in the shop as she walks across the floor I see Roth's "Tweddy Pie" I know this ain't earth shattering but hey for some of us its cool as shit! Thats all I got. go back to the other posts FRITZ
AWESOME, Roth's car is pretty cool as well. Gidget can be in my Auto Shop class anytime! My favorite from the series is "Gidget goes to Hell"! Real CLIFFhanger. Fantastic soundtrack.....
That's old news! I heard the Hearse was owned by a famous guy too! Can't remember who it was though,waybe Dennis Roth would know...
For the historical record didn't Roth buy Tweety Pie from the guy he did the pin striping for? I think that 26-27 T touring next to it was in a TV show as well, not Drag Net but another cop show about street racing.
Ok the guy Roth bought it from had a flathead and single headlamps, in the TV show it has a SBC with multie carb and the home made quad headlight set up so that denotes it as owned by Roth at the time of The TV show, And sorry Roth wasn't in the program but they do say "Rat Fink" on occasionally, FRITZ
There was a newer Gidget TV series that didn't star Sally Fields. I'm guessing 70's maybe. Anyway on one of those weekly shows Ed is driving the '32ford Trike (painted a dark color) and some other rods were also in that episode. I've looked for that DVD but I don't think it ever got put on DVD. Anyone else remember that show episode?
