    You know you’re getting old, when you hear yourself say, “ Thats a nice minivan “..

    That reminds me, While flipping through channels, I saw an episode of The Brady bunch. had to flip back quick, Mike Brady had pulled up in the driveway, in a blue 71 Barracuda convertible. I don’t remember that. Must have traded in the wagon, couldn’t help but wonder if he also had a girlfriend on the side. Lol.

    How do you think he picked up Carol? A few years ago there was some renewed interest in all things Brady when the house from the show hit the market and HGTV decided to rebuild the house to match the show (internally, it never did.) it was quite ambitious.

    Anyway, I decided to catch a few episodes, especially the pilot which I could swear was in black & white (it wasn’t) and low and behold, Mike Brady was a Mopar man. I know even back then product placement was a thing, so whatever the Brady’s drive was probably dictated by the sales department.

    But the only car I really remember is Greg’s convertible, when Peter put a hole in the roof. (And for some reason I thought it was a Ford Galaxy hardtop but that’s impossible for Peter to put a hole in a hard top.)

    I remember Greg’s first car, Pretty sure it was a GM, maybe a 58? Pontiac or Olds convertible. Beverly Hillbillies had some nice Mopars. Miss Janes 63 Polara convertible being my favorite.

    F6097E9F-48C4-4F73-9A6A-87670ACA7F39.png This ones been on my radar for 12 yrs. It’s still sitting there. Was in a garage, but it’s been outside now for at least 5 yrs. Floor, interiors shot. Too much work for me. It’s a 63 Polara 500, has push buttons, buckets, and short console.
