Seeing him as such a young, athletic man in the pictures above it's such a stark reminder that Father Time is undefeated and is out get every last one of us. DAMN.

 

Dang what a ride - his life......have fun up stairs !

 

One Kool Dude! RIP

 

A Legend... RIP

 

That's a shame. They just finished restoring the car too. https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/driving-the-kookie-kar-back-to-1958.1110832/ I don't know if the two were ever reunited.

 

I don't think it happened by discussion previous elsewhere within...I believe he was aware and suspect he have had some thought deep within...what's on a man's mind at that stage...Not actually my TV timeframe but he seemed to be on top of the world...

Both He and Norm can have a Cool One in Hotrod Heaven now and so many others...

 

I apologize if this is a bad time to ask, but was kookie pronounced like cookie or more like coo key? Always wondered

 

Sunset Strip ran from 1958-64 but later here in Australia. Guess I was about 12(1960) or so and that car definitely influenced me and was probably a catalyst for my hot rodding life. No regrets
Here is a link to another thread on the Kookie Car and the last page(16) has photos of the rebuild of the car.

Kookie with a C like in a biscuit.

 

There is a song "Kookie Kookie lend me your comb" look it up and hear it correctly.

 

He was so cool for us kids when he was on TV. RIP Mr. Byrnes

 

I forgot he was in the movie Grease till I saw his Obit.

 

The original cool kid....and Kookie still had his hair at 87!

 

"i got smog in the noggin'!" he appeared in the "77 sunset strip" pilot as a mobbed-up thug; i remember mom saying "what a creep" every time he was onscreen. his character was killed, but a flood of fan mail led warner bros. to make him a regular cast member. kookie parked cars for dean martin's place, "dino's"!
