why in episode 252 they said a 1954 chevy was a 1955 chevy; i mean was the actors and producers ignorant to the fact it wasnt a 55 chevy;;;;;; gee how dumb........... thats like comparing a 67 corvette to a 1959 edsel///////// geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.. but i always and will always loveee happy days:d

I noticed that too. Any Car Buff Like Me Would Notice, I thought That was odd :crazy:

I Dont know a thing about cars so i didnt notice :lol:

Easy. A 54 is rounded and has Fenders Sticking out at the rear. It looks totally different from a 55. A 55 is sleek, smaller with no Large fenders at the rear.

Here's a 54:

Yeah, a 55 chevy is what that black car was in "American Graffiti"

Thanks for the info. Both cars are gorgeous!

my wife thought i was crazy i mean i got upset that noone in hollywood well least actors and producers of the show knew the difference between the 2 cars; i mean i think 55 is the prettiest car ever!!!!!!
