    We toured Universal Studios in March, 1970 when I was 7 years old. Even then, I knew the Cleavers' home when I saw it. A few second later, we drove by 1313 Mockingbird Lane, the home of the Munsters! So cool! Who knew the Cleavers and the Munsters were neighbours? Ha! A few years back, we attended a home show in Toronto and met Jerry Mathers and Ken Osmond (R.I.P.). Really nice gentlemen, a class act, both of them...

They were using it for the murderers house in the movie "The Burbs". The white house next to Tom Hanks house in The Burbs is it. I met part of the cast including Tom Hanks that day. They were there to check out the set. Only thing filming that week were Game Shows.

My father was a blue collar worker so obviously, didn't wear a suit or jacket every day but,, this is what made these types of shows so special in a simpler time of life. I learned to drive on a '57 Chevy with a stick shift on the column. Not sure anyone of my kids or grandkids has even seen a stick shift on the column! Thanks goodness we can find these shows on METV or streaming service. Great memories. Also...how beautiful were those cars? No SUV's that all look the same now.

    I enjoyed "Leave it to Beaver" when growing up and today in my 70's watching reruns on cable TV. Loved the cars of the
    60's and '70s. My favorites was the 1962 Dodge Dart 440, 1963 Plymouth Fury, and 1963 Polara. Too bad, not in color.
    My neighbor had a 62 Dodge Dart convertible in 1962. It was a great looking car and had lots of fun with the top down.

The 55,56,57 Chevys and Fords were iconic, but the Dodge, Plymouth, Desotos had a sleek look that others went to in the early 60s.
      My brother in law had a 57 Dodge Coronet that he drove until the 1980s. When I was 10-11 years old (1970-71) my folks had a 1956 Buick Special it was basically a 56 Chevy tagged as a Buick. It had a V8 and a two speed Power Glide automatic Transmission.

      If this was real life Ward, almost certainly, had a company car. From 1965 to 1983 my Dad was a salesman for a company selling coal mining machinery. He had a company car that was on a 12 month lease so every year he got a new car. At the time tax laws were generous so he was able to use the company car as our family car with the extra mileage and gas counted as income. The more he sold the nicer car he could pick out. Cars ranged from Chevy Impalas and Ford LTDs then up to Oldsmobile Delta 88s or Cutlass Supreme, Chrysler Newports and even a Buick Riviera.

    • @retroguy9494
      @retroguy9494 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      You guys have to bear in mind several important factors here. First off, Ward made good money as a professional. Although we were never told exactly what his job was, it's assumed he was an accountant. Second, houses in the 50's and 60's were much more affordable than they are today. Part of the whole post World War II American dream was a house in the suburbs. My own parents had a house built in the 50's in a brand new development when they first got married. It only cost them $17,000 and the payments were only like $78 a month on a 20 year mortgage. I inherited it and today I can sell the house for close to half a million! The rule of thumb was that you spent no more than 25% of your income on housing. That was mortgage, property taxes and insurance.
      As for the cars, they were much more affordable back then. Unless you bought a luxury car like a Cadillac or Lincoln. In addition, the trade in versus resale value was much higher then. If you traded in a car after a year, you got close to what you paid for it and the profit on resale was very little for dealers. Also, until the Reagan tax reforms of 1986, interest on new car loans was tax deductible. So it made sense for a middle class family to always have a newer car. Helping that was that a family only had ONE car. It wasn't until the 60's that it started to become common for a family to have two cars.
      Today, if you trade in a new car after a year, you're lucky to get half of what you paid for it. Used car values are the highest they've ever been and dealers now make more money on used cars than they do new ones.
      Finally, cars back then weren't designed to last for the high mileage they are today. Almost no one reached 100K on a car back then. There would be all sorts of problems mechanically. Todays cars can go 200K or more with almost no engine trouble. Although you'll pay thousands in repairs for computer repair, sensors and the like.

      Any of the old shows set in a city were gold mines. Dragnet was a great one for car spotting, and I've thought a million times that if I somehow traveled back in time people wouldn't be amazed at my clothes or mannerisms, they'd be wondering why I was caressing the car and draping myself across every old car I walked up on. I'd be hoping that at that moment I'd be whipped back to the present, my contact with the car dragging it back through the vortex with me! 🤣

    06:25 I remember Lumpy's '40 Ford convertible. In one very funny episode, Eddie (no surprise there) got the brilliant idea of how funny it would be if he and Wally would wrap a log chain around a tree, then attach the other end to the Ford's rear axle. Eddie said how funny it would be to see Lumpy just smoking the tires, trying to drive away. Naturally, being the sucker he always was, Wally went along with the hairbrained idea. Naturally, not all went as planned, as the two forgot to take up the slack in the chain. So, when Lumpy started to drive away, the shock when the slack in the chain ran out, yanked the entire differential and rear axle from under Lumpy's Ford, crashing the rear of the car to the ground. Oh, what a rascal Eddie Haskle was. 😅🤣😂
