What did Samantha drive in '65 on Bewitched?

[Xplantdad]

Here's your answer!

A small block wagon with wire wheel covers...

Mrs Kravitz on the other hand...had a big block...

Here's Sam magically putting tires on a Corvair

Vettes on Parade in downtown ???(where did Samantha and Darren live anyways?)

Move Vettes going to the Soap Box Derby (The name of this episode)

[Xplantdad]

All the pics were taken from the Soap Box Derby Episode...circa 1965 http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

[Xplantdad]

Here are a few from "My Friend Ben". Aunt Clara mistakenly conjers up Ben Franklin instead of an electrician...

Here are a few shots of Darren's cool ride...

Gotta love Aunt Clara.

[nova7579]

I don't have photographic evidence, but my photographic memory remembers Darrin driving a 1965 Malibu SS.

Thanks, pretty neat stuff.

[Xplantdad]

Darren also had a Super Car...at least that was the name of the episode...Endora blinked it into his driveway...and out of the design studio where they were working on it.

Here's the "Reactor Mach II" http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif

Bruce how bout pics of her 69 RG Camaro convertible?

[PeteLeathersac]

Mrs Kravitz's Mk.1V Wagon looks like the one going down the line in Verne's pics of last week? .
I love that '64 'Vette coupe w/ no caps, maybe has the big tank and J56? . Nice wheels on the roadster ahead of it too! .
In the street parade shot it looks like a '70 Chevy way back? . Can't be....must be a '66 Buick? .
Was this episode shot using the real soap box derby championship sponsored by Chevy? .
Sammy....Mmmmmmmm, she still looks great! .

[Xplantdad]

Darren, I'll have to get the 1969 episodes from Netflix.

Pete, you're right...Sammy still looks fine... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif

Trivia question:
Who made the front wheels on the Reactor??? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

[427TJ]

I had an AMT model car with those wheels...I think they were Fentons? Hmmm....

[ANDY M]

The Reactor Mach II appeared in a couple of other TV shows, including Star Trek! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif
http://www.harpiesbizarre.com/supercar.htm
Check it out. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/scholar.gif
I wonder if it's still in OK? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hmmm.gif

[Verne_Frantz]

Nope, They're not Fentons........... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

[nuch_ss396]

Did Chevrolet underwrite that series through all the years?

Also, what year(s) did Derward ( sorry, Darren ) drive a
Vette on the series?

Check out this slide show of the Reactor:

I'll see that putz Darren, and raise you a Cpt. Kirk! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a146/ameyers215/reactor2kirk.jpg
Vern, I still can't figure out what kind of wheels those were on the car, but I'll guess they were Kustoms'. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

[PeteLeathersac]

I thought only Larry Tate drove the 'Vettes? .

Ok Verne....lets guess M/T? . How do you happen to know....you got Samantha hiding there somewhere? .

[Bill Pritchard]

Musta been late '65 Bruce, as those are all '66 big Chevys!

You're probably right...Since Chevrolet "sponsored" the show...the show would have had the "New" models right away... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/youguysrock.gif

[GOAT72]

It's such a shame that they burned Samantha and Tabitha at the stake in Salem, MA a few years later.
Darren was beside himself with grief...until Esmiralda turned him into a lime green '63 slant-6 Belvedere.

Looks like a Nantucket Blue '67 327 convert (12467), no Z21 Style Trim stuff (wheelwell trim, pinstripes), but optional N95 wire wheel covers and whitewalls. Bumper guards too. Nice daily driver that runs on regular gas.

white int and with a blue top no less,cool..I dont think I have ever seen one in person... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif that Vette is a dandy as well...

[Xplantdad]

I got these links from a post from a member on Team Chevelle

The first is a 5 minute commercial from Chevrolet featuring the 1965 model lineup...pretty damn cool http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif

Click HERE! (http://www.chevelles.com/video/s_bewitching_bonanza.wmv)

The second one is a commercial featuring a biplane and the 1970 Plymouth line up...cool, too!

[nuch_ss396]

That 1965 AD is amazing! Wonder what it would cost today
to put that many top stars in a commercial for a car. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hmmm.gif

[Verne_Frantz]

The ad was great!
Maybe since Chevrolet sponsored the shows themselves, the stars had a "paper obligation" to do that for next to nothing...

[nuch_ss396]

Hey Verne,

Another thing struck me as funny. We all know that Dan
Blocker was "given" a Z-16 Chevelle by the folks @ Chevy.
Odd he didn't introduce that particular model. I'd prefer
Liz Montgomery anyday any-way.....

Wonder what the date was for this shoot? Probably before
the Z-16's went into production anyway. They were a mid
year intro weren't they?

[Verne_Frantz]

Steve,
I don't know much about Z-16s, except I had a chance to buy one in '74 for $1100. because the guy couldn't afford the gas! It was in very nice shape, but I was fresh out of the Navy and didn't have that much money....... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Verne

[TimG]

Great stuff, looks like the Corvette is a red/red 365 horse. It appears to have a 6500 rpm redline and it's not a fuelie.

[PeteLeathersac]

Very cool!!! .
Sammy looks so great as usual!!! .
That 'Vair coupe has such a perfect stance! .
See where Blocker checks out Endora's butt? .
I wonder if this was shot at Pioneerland or whatever the name of that old western town movie location is that's going up in flames today? .
Sammy....yumm!!! .

~ Pete

[SS427]

That video was great. Sure would be nice to see some more GM promo films like that.......... http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif Pretty nice of that enthusiast to share them.

Verne,

There were a ton of SHP cars available in '74 in the Philly
area but my Dad wouldn't let me get one. He claimed that
gas was too expensive, insurance was too expensive, and that
the muscle car era was dead! What did he know!!! Just
look at all of us today. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

I knew I had this somewhere and I finally found it while watching an old VHS tape. I was lucky enough to grab a few minutes of this episode where Samantha is driving her 69 RS Rallye Green Convertible, with spoilers. The quality isn't that great cause I took a picture of the TV. But how awesome!

[CC Rider]

Wow, very cool Camaro. She had good taste.

[JChlupsa]

I like the BLACK grille http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

[TimG]

In one episode Darrin had a blue/blue 68 Camaro convertible. Another episode that portrayed Darrin’s life without Sam showed him as a bachelor driving up to work in a C3 Corvette.

There are pics on page 3 of him with a 1967 Blue top convertible... did he get another the next year ?
