Don't forget Brock Yates Challenger that ran the Cannonball. He still has it and I think his kid drove it in the race also :D Vic Morrow in Combat. How about 12 o'clock High. :D

What a cool thread!

I thought the first show in color was ... "THE FBI" Effrim Zembelist Jr?

Didn't any of you folks watch the westerns? Rowdy Yates (Clint Eastwood) in Rawhide? Bonanza, and Gunsmoke?

Who remembers a show called "Then Came Bronson"?

Well, I just passed the high side of 40...and I still have my hair!!! :hurray:

I've had hotrods and fast cars all my life but this is my first Vette...it just happens to coincide with my mid-life crisis...whaddayagonnado? :seeya

Any Mad Magazine peeps here? To this day when I see movie and tv titles I give them the "Mad" treatment. "Then Came Bombsome" :D Yeah, I loved that show, Michael Parks and his Sportster (Route 66 on a bike minus one guy) watched it every week! Even had a "Sporty" years ago. :D :cheers: Has the Wild Wild West been mentioned? :D

I think the first color show was Disney's Wonderful World of Color on NBC. Then Bonanza and Johnny Carson was in color...

Hey! You got a problem with Mannix? And NOBODY mentioned the Westerns. I know Gunsmoke and Bonanza have been in syndication for years but what about all the others (Maverick, Have Gun Will Travel, Cheyenne, The Lawman, etc)...

Put the 80's hard stuff in:

AC/DC Highway To Hell
Deep Purple
Pink Floyd
Judas Priest
etc...........


The 80's metal sounds great with the sound of the powerfull V8's, no 50's bubble gum music with my C4!

EVERYBODY knows Circus Boy was Mickey Dolenz (The Monkees) but the guy who played Jim Rockford's father (Noah Beery, Jr) was also in it. Steve McQueen was in "Wanted". Unless you already know about this site, here's an FYI for you all:

I got news for ya, sprout! Deep Purple and Pink Floyd had there roots deep in the Sixties. Pink Floyd's first album was released in 1967 and Deep Purple's, 1969 :D

PS: I'll bet some early Led Zeppelin, Humble Pie or Stones would sound just fine in your C4 as well...

I also remember having to run to the OutHouse because we didn't have indoor plumbing yet. I also used to ride on the front fender of our truck with my legs wrapped around the large head light.
Rats! You had me feelin' better until the outhouse comment. Man those nail heads were cold in the winter time!
