Sally Fields was so cute back then.

That's a new spin on classics, love it

[@franksmith6871]

Teenage boys who watched this show probably didn't focus on the cars lol! Sally Field was so very cute! I'm glad to see these short clips that do focus on the cars.

[@DTD110865]

Who says we couldn't focus on both?

Fusion Kid, I love your videos!. You're bringing me down memory lane of all the TV shows I watched, andI alll the cars that I noticed on the shows. Thank You!

[@kingporter67]

Sally Field recently turned 78 this year, plus, Gidget was a great beach comedy classic!!

[@buzzwaldron6195]

Oh, that butt at 07:13...

[@gcfifthgear]

Not so much about cars, but apparently when the Baxters moved out of the "Hazel" house in 1965, Gidget and her father moved in (you can see the "Bewitched" house next door!)...

[@madmike2624]

You were not even a twinkle your dad's eye when this show was on tv, you crack me up!!!!~~

[@grecco_buckliano]

These are a great car culture series. Keep it up, man!

[@dr.plutonus1496]

This show never aired in the UK, but the scene of the Morris Minor being hitched to the Pontiac shows what geriatric rubbish we were driving when you Americans were scooting around in your enormous jet age dream machines 😏

[@rizzlerazzleuno4733]

Very nicely done. Thanks. I never saw the show, but this covers the best parts. Yes, it's true, in the 1960s in SoCal 73% of cars were convertibles, the rest were woodies or big honkin Ford or Mercury four door hard tops. The nearby country of Beverley Hills was only Continentals, Imperials, Eldorados or Rolls. 🚗

[@mexicanspec]

I didn't know Beverly Hills was its own country.

[@rizzlerazzleuno4733]

[@mmartin2924]

OMG! Right at the 1:20 mark of this video, the surfboard has the famous "Harbour Surfboards" logo. They are still in business in Seal Beach, CA, and use that exact same logo. Cool Rangoon Red 65 Mustang convertible, just before this scene, too.

I remember all those cars and had a 54 and 56 chevy and a 59 VW bug

[@bobsebring2819]

Must be nice to be able to have a brand new car every year.

[@danieljohnson9351]

That 1936 Ford woody between the hearse and other woody was the original Monkeemobile in the premier episode.

[@dsanford12]

Great job really enjoyed this one

[@62Madison]

This show is still kind of fresh + there are some nice Pontiacs and Mustangs. ABC canceled this show even though it performed well in summer reruns, rather than admitting their mistake Sally Field became the ‘Flying Nun’.

[@plane_guy6051]

Forget the cars -- the blonde shaking it up at 2:47 is amazing !

[@romemancer7905]

Gidget started many years before Sally Fields series with another actress..and i think a movie or two !

[@davidgentz1731]

She was the cutest girl I loved her a little series she was just a little honey

[@daveridgeway2639]

Hello Mr. Kidd, I am 65 years old, and there is just something about the automobiles of the 1960s that no other decade could duplicate. I see that your a "Ford" man, me too. As a teenager, I drove my own automobile back and forth to high school, (a red 1966 Mustang Fastback with black interior and a 289 V8) Back in the 1960s, V8 engines where the very most popular. The younger generation has no idea about the 1960s automobiles. Please keep the videos coming! Please reply. Dave...

[@richardrice8076]

4:35 is that Daniel J. Travanti?

[@ChrisStumer]

From Australia. My dad aged 17 when looking around for his first car in early 1970 saw a 1955 Cadillac in a used car yard, way beyond his budget. In the same yard was a 1954 Ford Customline station wagon, dad wanted to test drive it but the battery was flat. "Please, can I drive it?", dad pleaded. "Okay", the dealer said, they had to push start it, "For heaven's sake don't stall it in the traffic", the dealer said. Apparently the car drove okay, but the flat head V8 looked a bit suspect, water and oil leaks or something. Another car dad test drove was a 1960 Ford Falcon sedan, 144 cubic inch six, two speed automatic, no thanks. The Ford station wagon? Oh to be able to go back in time and get it! What car did dad eventually buy? A worn out 1957 Mk2 Ford Zephyr for $195 (Australian)

[@russelblackwell6041]

Sally Field beautiful

3:56 Notice the manufacture plate on that Scout.

[@cuda426hemi]

There is a real Gidget, The real scene in SoCal was so much more fascinating than this TV show. Characters like Jan & Dean, Nancy Sinatra, the infamous prototypical blond beach girl Jill... a book called Hollywood Eden is a must read for a take on Uni High kids and the whole Beach scene of early 60s

[@kenhedoityeshecan]

When Gidget went away and came back as a nun; she totally hated convertibles and go figure!

[@buzzwaldron6195]

She would have flown out of a convertible...

[@matrox]

Sally Field was actually 19 when doing Gidget.

[@matrox]

I was a kid growing up in this era. We indeed had the coolest cars and the best music. Its when America was still sane and not a sh!thole.

[@alanstrong55]

A new Thunderbird was a welcome sight. So was a Dodge Charger fastback. Jeff treated Gidget right. Her sister was a bossy tyrant. Fiery Red vs Cordial Brown. Love Gidget even today. Naughty ABC wrecked that show.

[@DanKovallski]

What's the tune playing at the end?

@Fusion Kidd You need to go a little deeper on what you call funeral coach. You should mention the coach company and the model name.

Why did noone have a problem with the age of romantic interests a high school sophomore

[@josepharturi5442]

That is a quest that always bothered me since I first saw this show in re-runs when I was a teen in the 1980s. None of the girls I went to school with had BFs nearly as old as Gidget`s!

[@GenerallyGeneralLee]

@3:04 That's a '50 Ford not '51.

I can't even enjoy anything Sally Field is in anymore after she went all political. Ruined it for me, dangit.

[@rogerknapman1260]

I think the problem is you don't like she went to the other side. How dare she have a different opinion.

[@ModelA]

@@rogerknapman1260 No, it's actually about NOT "taking sides". I just don't care for politics. When an actor or actress becomes political, I'm done with them.
