@V-Elf V-Elf! Why you were a most precious Easter Bunny helper (elf). But rather than making deliveries in a Charger, you should have been besides Dick van Dyke in CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG - yes, a far cry from Michael J. Fox's deLorean, but this buggy had a movie and a Broadway show to call its own. Cars have captured the imagination of young and old - and all those inbetween!

@Vance Ok, you got it ... my 1969 Charger memory from 1971. It was groovy gold with a black landau top ... and what was under the hood got me through my Easter deliveries as fast as the General Lee! What? You thought elves were only around at Christmas - the Easter Bunny needs help too! Cars and music are great any time of year! If you have pics of your cars like the ones mentioned here, send them to
v-elf@vancebrescia.com & we'll share them for you!

@Vance
I’ll start!! I KNOW ABOUT THE GENERAL LEE! Those Dukes were from Hazard, and John(ny) Cash did a bang-up job (as did the Dukes on The General Lee) on the theme song……and I didn’t peek at the video. So if I’m wrong, I’ll plead sudden memory loss. Next??

Sharing a few more pics from Sunday's car show to keep the thread going. Anyone recall which TV show featured The General Lee or recall who sang the theme song? Maybe a few memories of YOUR Dodge Charger from the 60s/70s.
Anyone know what TV program the red car is from and who's in the photo with me? Watch the video for clues. Can you imagine either of these action-packed TV shows without music? What would the 80s have been without "Back To the Future" and Marty McFly? Looks like Marty to me ... think he got the DeLorean to us in 2010?

@claudia WOW Claudia, one of my very first 45's was "Beep Beep". I was 6 years old and my uncle gave me 4 45's for Christmas. I thought I was soooooo coooool!! I still have all 4 of them and they are still playable. So I am STILL soooooo coooool!

How about HERE, THERE, and EVERYWHERE. I think (I don't remember back that far!) that was my first dance as "husband and wife" at my wedding.

well, this thread is fun, fun and fun, and is bringing me back to my lost childhood. Other favorites - BEEP BEEP and NO PARTICULAR PLACE TO GO (the ultimate guy frustration song!) And we have the Monkeemobile, Batmobile, Munstermobile, Scoobymobile - but don't forget MY MOTHER THE CAR.

@Vance Ok Vance. Maybe I'll stick with an old dented Brady Bunch station wagon. "It's a story of a lovely lady".

@MEB The Beachboys song mentioned here reminded me of a another of their songs and a car my mom had when I was a kid. I'm sure my dad had grand customizing thoughts in mind with that '32 Ford, but it was far from being the hot "Little Deuce Coupe" the Beachboys sang about! I remember the four on the floor - especially when we got stuck one time at the top of a hill & mom was afraid to move her foot from the brake to the clutch because we kept rolling back down the hill! LOL!

@ShelleyCT The high bid at a 2008 auction on a restoration of the original Monkeemobile was $360,000. If that's a little steep for your budget, you might consider a replica ... like the recreation of the Batmobile that went for $150,000 in 2009. Have fun at the auctions!
