    Bundy Family Cars


    "The Bundys family Dodge actually appears to be a 1972 Plymouth Duster with an optional vinyl top. Therefore it's funny to hear Al say in 0917: "I don't want a Plymouth, Peg, I want my Dodge, dagnabbit!" Plymouth and Dodge are both owned by Chrysler, and both companies have models originally based on the Valiant. Therefore the car looks similar to some Dodge Darts. It´s a Plymouth nevertheless! . The white tail lights are wider than on the 1970 and 1971 Duster models. Also, when you take a closer look at the engine in 1020, it looks like a hi-pro 340ci 4 barral, putting out 300hp. It was Chryslers small block race engine, so it's quite the opposite of what the MwC writers make us believe about Al's car. Other "facts" from the series: in episode 0724, the Dodge was given as a 1974 model (just like the Blues Brothers' car), but in 1020 she was said to be from 1971. Even worse, episode 1107 tells us that Al had her already on the day of his 4 touchdowns triumph which was in 1966.


    The Dodge is brown (or bronze) (0305, 0409, 0603, 0623, 0706, 0715, 0809, 0817, 0902) even though episode 0409 tells us that she was blue until that episode. In 0917 this Dodge becomes red in a car wash (confirmed in 1005, 1107, 1109). In fact, she was red when she was new (0917, 1107). The license plate is Illinois "61 CMS 2" (0816, 1118) or "2 RPH 72" (0623). In 0409 the odometer passes 100'000 miles. In 0817 the Dodge passes one million miles, i.e. Al drove 900'000 miles in four and a quarter years. Al's car key is a screwdriver (0917). The dodge has an 8-track (0724), a late 60s to early 70s tape player.


    In the first five seasons the Bundys have a second car (0103, 0208, 0219, 0221, 0407, 0415, 0502, 0520). We can see Peggy's dark brown car in episode 0103 with the license plate Illinois "F3B 359" (which is also used for the 1965 Mustang bought by Al & Steve in 0105). In 0220 Peggy wins a red 1989 Mustang GT Convertible which reappears in 0502. I guess they sold the dark brown car when they got the convertible. However, the Mustang disappeared mysteriously after episode 0520."


    Alles klar?
    Sonst guckst du hier !

    das untermauert mich zwar...


    aaber warum haben sie dann keine Dodge´s genommen, wenn´s denn Dodge sein soll?


    Bleibt also immer noch das Statement der Regisseure bzw. Drehbuchautoren oder der Requisteure aus.


    Ach, scheiß drauf.
    Die spinnen, die Amis :stupid:


    Zitat

    P.S.: Wie heisst denn Dein Buch?


    die Antwort muss ich dir im Moment noch schuldig bleiben. Das Ding liegt noch irgendwo bei Muttern rum.


    Ursprünglich waren das mal 3 Bände, die jeweils die Epochen 1920-1939, 1940-1965 und 1966 bis 1980 abgedeckt haben (DAS weiß ich komischerweise noch aus´m Kopp :irre: )


    Irgendwann wurden die dann zu einer dicken Schwarte zusammengefasst, und ich habe in den 80ern noch so´n Ding kaufen können.


    Ich schau bei Gelegenheit noch mal nach, wie das heißt.


    Ist aber ´n schönes Nachschlagewerk. ;)

    Nichts für ungut, ich nehme dann Band 3! Hab hier noch ein paar Bücher über die Muscle Cars rumliegen, die sind aber nicht so komplett wie ich es mir erhofft hatte... ;(
