Art Anderson Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 And yet, Kookie's Kar seldom appeared as part of the screenplay of any episodes, almost always limited (in my memory, and I religiously watched very episode, save for perhaps 2 or 3) of "77 Sunset Strip, on Friday nights. Art

pharoah Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 Isn't Norm Grabowski credited with being 'The father of the T bucket" because of th 'Kookie' car? It was in episode of Peter Gunn too.

Danno Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 Isn't Norm Grabowski credited with being 'The father of the T bucket" because of th 'Kookie' car? It was in episode of Peter Gunn too. Yep.
Greg Myers Posted July 7, 2014 Author Posted July 7, 2014 Show me " Gow Jobs" in print before it became the term du jour in the revisionist automotive press.
Brett Barrow Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 Show me " Gow Jobs" in print before it became the term du jour in the revisionist automotive press. Collier's Magazine, July 1941 for one. Need more?

Jon Haigwood Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 so could you use a Model A Truck and make it into a Aaaa Bucket ?
Jon Haigwood Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 Yeah but it wouldn't be the same if Jan & Dean sang "Bucket A-A, Bucket A, Bucket A"

Art Anderson Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 Of course, to be truly accurate, Kookie's Kar (Norm Grabowski build) isn't quite a true "T-bucket"----that term being very much standard in referring to Model T roadsters. Grabowski built his T using the forward half of a T touring car body--you can see the straight panels on the sides, on which the rear doors of the touring body were hinged. Art
Greg Myers Posted July 8, 2014 Author Posted July 8, 2014 And yet ol' Woo Woo is still called the Father of the Tee Bucket.
