As far as I remember, poor Potsie never had a Car of his own.

So...WHAT?

Auction (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260259012211)

Didn't he have a car with Richie the first season I remember? Because they let Fonz fix it up or something and he took the logo or whatever of the car in return, do you remember? I think him and Richie shared the car, picked up girls then went to Arnold's, then to meet up with Ralph.

I remember that, yes. But they had it for ONE Episode only.

And it's definitely not the One at ebay.

So I am still wondering :crazy:

Yeah i know it's not the one on E-bay lol and that they only had it for an episode, I was just saying/thinking back. I don't remember Potsie ever having a car either, let alone a pick up, weird..

Ralph had the pickup, potsie had a car, they didn't really talk about it much though, very rarely.

But when you know, they must have mentioned it at least once. When and where?

that I can't tell you, I'd have to rewatch a lot of episodes to figure it out.

Yeah I figured that pickup looked familiar, now I remember Ralph had it during the 1st (maybe 2nd also) season right? God I love the cars from back then (from the late '50s-70s)! Let the classics live on.

They did show Potsie in his car in the ep., "Joanie Gets Wheels". One of the first eps. after Ron Howard (Richie) and Donny Most (Ralph) both left the series. Potsie's car was parked in the Cunningham driveway when Mr. C first lectured Fonzie about parking cars in his driveway.

I've just watched it!

(1) You are right! There's Potsie - in his Car - Mr.C complaining - and Fonzie fixing it.

(2) But it's not the Car from the Auction.

(3) But ... OH MY GOD !!!! A light-pink Car ????

(1) I know I'm right. LOL! Yep, I've remembered that scene for years. And Louie, Louie was playing too.

(2) What auction? I didn't know anything about an auction. Why would it be from an auction?

(3) Wow. Thought it was black and white.

Looking at the box for the kit, it doesnt seem to say that its Potsies car. I figure, Revell simply wanted to sell left over model kits and paid for the right to put the Happy Days name on it, figuring theyd sell a few more.

If you scroll up the Page, you'll see ... how this Thread started ;)

Right, the Box just says HappyDays, but the Seller says Potsie ... and that confused me. - Wonder how (s)he came up with that. LoL.

The seller probably said to himself: "Well, Fonzie had a bike, Richies car was a '52 Ford vert, Ralph DID have a '29 Ford pickup, but it was Yellow......so, it MUST be Potsie's car!" (And put that on the auction)

Yeah I know, I forgot about the red flames on the side lol. I was just playing around though, sort of. Favorite vehicle on the show?

my fave was Richie's '52 Ford Love Bandit (After Fonzie repainted it red, without the name)
