Man! This was a great presentation and very well- narrated by Tony Dow; God rest his soul. I love this show so much. I miss wholesome family shows like Beaver. I loved car-spotting on all of these shows from the '50's, '60's, and '70's. Being the carnut that I am. My mother had a brand new, 1963 Dodge Polara 4-door just like the one in the show, when I was a little kid. Loved that push-button Torqueflite.

So cool! Who knew the Cleavers and the Munsters were neighbours? Ha! A few years back, we attended a home show in Toronto and met Jerry Mathers and Ken Osmond (R.I.P.).

I toured it in the 80s during the writers strike. They were in the process of moving 1313 Mockingbird Lane and repainting it. They were using it for the murderers house in the movie "The Burbs".

I enjoyed "Leave it to Beaver" when growing up and today in my 70's watching reruns on cable TV. Loved the cars of the 60's and '70s. My favorites was the 1962 Dodge Dart 440, 1963 Plymouth Fury, and 1963 Polara. Too bad, not in color. My neighbor had a 62 Dodge Dart convertible in 1962. It was a great looking car and had lots of fun with the top down. Those were the days when cars had their own identity. Today, cars look like they came from the same mold.

As a "B-52" (born 1952) here I have similar memories. OMG!!! just yesterday I was commenting to a younger neighbor how "back in the day" one could identify a cars make/model/year just by looking at it. Today its much more difficult as they all look the same!!!

The 55,56,57 Chevys and Fords were iconic, but the Dodge, Plymouth, Desotos had a sleek look that others went to in the early 60s. My brother in law had a 57 Dodge Coronet that he drove until the 1980s. When I was 10-11 years old (1970-71) my folks had a 1956 Buick Special it was basically a 56 Chevy tagged as a Buick.

My wife has always been a homemaker our whole married life. I don't believe she has any pearls, but she wears a dress or skirt every day, and a necklace and earrings no matter what she does around the house. So, I don't get this excessive scrutiny or complaints of Beavers mothers' clothes. Always been that way with us.

Agreed. I'm 76 and never saw my mother in a dress unless we were going to church! Surely not while cooking or cleaning. My father was a blue collar worker so obviously, didn't wear a suit or jacket every day but,, this is what made these types of shows so special in a simpler time of life. I learned to drive on a '57 Chevy with a stick shift on the column. Not sure anyone of my kids or grandkids has even seen a stick shift on the column!

It's amazing this average middle class small town family could afford a new car every year! ☺

[@aarons3695]

If this was real life Ward, almost certainly, had a company car. From 1965 to 1983 my Dad was a salesman for a company selling coal mining machinery. He had a company car that was on a 12 month lease so every year he got a new car. At the time tax laws were generous so he was able to use the company car as our family car with the extra mileage and gas counted as income. The more he sold the nicer car he could pick out. Cars ranged from Chevy Impalas and Ford LTDs then up to Oldsmobile Delta 88s or Cutlass Supreme, Chrysler Newports and even a Buick Riviera.

[@ed9492]

And a massive house.

[@retroguy9494]

@@aarons3695 I doubt Ward would have had a company car. We're never told what it actually was that he did for a living, but it's been kind of an opined consensus that he was some kind of accountant. When I was little back in the '70's, our neighbor up the street was a district manager for a supermarket chain. He had a company car and was allowed, like your father, to use it for personal use as well.

[@retroguy9494]

You guys have to bear in mind several important factors here. First off, Ward made good money as a professional. Although we were never told exactly what his job was, it's assumed he was an accountant. Second, houses in the 50's and 60's were much more affordable than they are today. Part of the whole post World War II American dream was a house in the suburbs. My own parents had a house built in the 50's in a brand new development when they first got married. It only cost them $17,000 and the payments were only like $78 a month on a 20 year mortgage. I inherited it and today I can sell the house for close to half a million! The rule of thumb was that you spent no more than 25% of your income on housing. That was mortgage, property taxes and insurance. As for the cars, they were much more affordable back then. Unless you bought a luxury car like a Cadillac or Lincoln. In addition, the trade in versus resale value was much higher then. If you traded in a car after a year, you got close to what you paid for it and the profit on resale was very little for dealers. Also, until the Reagan tax reforms of 1986, interest on new car loans was tax deductible. So it made sense for a middle class family to always have a newer car. Helping that was that a family only had ONE car. It wasn't until the 60's that it started to become common for a family to have two cars. Today, if you trade in a new car after a year, you're lucky to get half of what you paid for it. Used car values are the highest they've ever been and dealers now make more money on used cars than they do new ones. Finally, cars back then weren't designed to last for the high mileage they are today. Almost no one reached 100K on a car back then. There would be all sorts of problems mechanically. Todays cars can go 200K or more with almost no engine trouble. Although you'll pay thousands in repairs for computer repair, sensors and the like.

I'm really enjoying all of these. You've really put a lot of work into them. I don't know how these ended up in my list but I have to thank "the algorithm" for introducing them to me. This series is still widely syndicated and probably will continue ... forever. The synthesized voice is virtually identical to Tony Dow. That scene with the tire rolling down the street out of control makes me LOL. In the final season, the opening has the family coming out of the house and getting into their Plymouth Fury in the driveway. As the car is backing up toward the camera, you can tell the rear window has been removed to eliminate any reflection. Universal's "back forty" lot in Culver City was used for almost all of the exterior shots in this series, as well as many other movies and TV shows.

Then she'd just love my 1965 Riviera. It looks like a shark.

[@renesagahon4477]

Well done. The most interesting subject of the entire series was observing some of those garish looking cars. They sold rather poorly at the time until they were completely refined for 1963

[@tommurphy4307]

not refined- transformed into newer garish-looking cars.

06:25 I remember Lumpy's '40 Ford convertible. In one very funny episode, Eddie (no surprise there) got the brilliant idea of how funny it would be if he and Wally would wrap a log chain around a tree, then attach the other end to the Ford's rear axle. Eddie said how funny it would be to see Lumpy just smoking the tires, trying to drive away. Naturally, being the sucker he always was, Wally went along with the hairbrained idea. Naturally, not all went as planned, as the two forgot to take up the slack in the chain. So, when Lumpy started to drive away, the shock when the slack in the chain ran out, yanked the entire differential and rear axle from under Lumpy's Ford, crashing the rear of the car to the ground. Oh, what a rascal Eddie Haskle was. 😅🤣😂

I just commented on that. I remember it well. Lumpy's reaction was priceless!😂😂😂😂😂

My first car was a 60 belvedere 2 door hardtop 318 - 4 barrel automatic.

[@billcatcher2701]

Very good video and commentary. I always wondered what model convertible Wally drove. Now i know - a 1953 Chevy 210. Thanks!

[@bryantyoung7197]

Lumpy’s ‘40 Ford 👌🏾

[@congerthomas1812]

Cool, don't know why but haven't seen many early 60s and back cars. I roamed junkyards in the 70s.

The '62 Plymouth Belvedere reminded me of my first car. A '63 Belvedere. $300.00.

Wow, such accuracy on those vehicles. I was born in 1952 & find myself watch reruns of this show & "Highway Patrol". I can usually guess the make & year. But all those Mopars you list in detail, 😮. Thank you, i thoroughly enjoyed your video! I sub'd & gave a 👍

The narrator sounds like Wally Cleaver.

[@louisnapolitano8130]

I thought the same thing.

[@gartwilliams3347]

You are correct 👌

[@nealshirley6479]

It is.

[@joshuam4614]

@@nealshirley6479 That would be amazing since the video is 18 hours old and Tony Dow, who played Wally Cleaver, died two years ago.
