-8 for me. I have seen almost every episode though. Local station used to have it on every day at 4:00. Right after I got home from school.
Fall of '62 I was a senior in High School took Vocational Auto Shop 3 hours a day and my project car was a 1953 Ford 4 door Customline paid $25 for it.
+7 for me and I never watched a full episode of HD. I didn't have a TV from 1973 until I got married in 1983.
I was barely a glimmer in Dad's eye back in 62 ! I always had a crush on that little yellow rpu that Ralph drove.
I was driving my 3rd or 4th car.Fonz and Richie did not show up for another 12 years.as Archie Bunkers theme song stated those were the days.sadly they will never be seen by our children and their children.
5 years old, pushing Tonka trucks(real metal ones, no plastic) through the dirt. what ever happened to all my cool toys...?
I could give you a hint. 10 years later I was stealing those Tonka trucks from my older cousins, stuffing them into my underwear and getting nailed by my mother over it.
In 62 I was in tenth grade, crazy in love, and still a year away from buying my first car...a '53 Ford convertible. Nosed, decked, lowered, shaved door handles. Never drove it, my friends did though. I traded it for a 32 Ford Cabriolet (sp?) project car...never drove it either.
Running around the streets of Detroit playing baseball, lusting after the 55 Crown Vic down the street ( mandarin orange/white, merc tailights, rear end lowered with a small "Sundance" name painted on the side) and doing our best impressions of "Duke of Earl" on the street corners.
Was 11 and building lots of AMT model cars. And liking my then-17 year old brother's '56 Fairlane he bought about a year prior. He dropped a 352 or 390 in it and would scare the **** of out me sometimes when he said 'let's go for a ride'. A year later he traded that nice '56 in on a new '63 Galaxy. They guy who bought his old '56 from the dealer later wrapped it around a tree, was killed instantly and totaled the car. We went to look at what was left of the car, it was impossible to tell what it had been. About 6 years later in '68 I bought my own '56 Fairlane and have owned it ever since.
Was born in '86, I still had a ways to go lol! Loved that show, I had the privilege to meet the man (Henry Winkler) what an awesome guy
In 1962? I wrecked our AA/Fuel Comp Coupe in Oklahoma City and was madly in love with that little red headed girl down the street. I re created the car and married that girl. Sold the car and still have the girl
