The Brady Bunch. A sitcom that became an icon of American pop culture, presented a wholesome view of family life, following of a blended family living in the suburbs of Los Angeles, and tackled subjects such as sibling rivalry, braces, and dating. But featured throughout the show were a wide variety of cars, equally as iconic to the 70's as the show itself. Today, we're taking a look at the classic cars of "The Brady Bunch". Let's begin.
The Brady Bunch, Brady Bunch, Brady Bunch episodes, Brady Bunch cars, classic cars, Brady Bunch classic cars, Marcia Brady, Jan Brady, 1971 Plymouth Barracuda, 1956 Chevy Bel Air, 1974 Chevy Caprice Classic, 1973 triumph TR6, 1969 Plymouth Satellite, 1970 Plymouth Fury, 1971 Plymouth Satellite, 1972 Chevy Impala, 1972 Plymouth Satellite, 1968 Dodge Polara 500, 1971 Dodge Coronet, 1969 Plymouth Fury, 1973 Triumph Spitfire MKIV, 1965 Cadillac Fleetwood 75, Ford Model T, 1955 Ford Thunderbird, Rambler, 1969 Chevy Camaro Z28, 1969 Mercury Cougar, 1968 Oldsmobile Cutlass S, 1963 Fiat 1500 Cabriolet, 1971 Ford LTD
Here's the story ... of a man named Brady, an architect widower with three sons: oldest Greg, middle son Peter and youngest Bobby. He meets and marries Carol, with three daughters of her own: oldest Marcia, middle girl Jan and little one Cindy. Tending to them is a wacky maid named Alice. They all live in a four-bedroom, two-bathroom house in the Los Angeles suburbs. The story lines deal with boy problems, sharing bathrooms, lost hamsters, the occasional football to the nose, and attempts at pop music stardom

Wow what a great video! Thank you so much for this! Recently my husband and I drove by the Brady Bunch house in North Hollywood. We hadn't seen it since HGTV sold and the wife of a CEO bought it. What a cool person she is! They actually have a gold Satellite Station wagon sitting out front for people to go and take photos with the house and car! I'm not sure the year of the wagon but I'd guess 1971. I didn't realize they used several in the show! Prime has a channel of classics and a couple times a week they show Brady Bunch marathons. I can still watch the show and even have more appreciation for it now at 52. What a great show.

That appears to be true for the convertibles, since Chrysler no longer offered a drop top after 1971 ( at least until the K cars of the 1980s). The show seemed to carry on with the Plymouth Satellite wagon through to the series's end.

One fact that nobody has mentioned yet. The first car, the 71 barracuda convertible. Was done in late 71, and had a 72 front and back end. When Chrysler gave them that car, it was like a pre-production car, with the new 72 grille and tail panel. They wanted to show off the design of the 72 barracuda convertible. They hadn't finished building the new quarter panels and fenders yet, but wanted that new 72 look for the show. By the time they started producing 72s for sale, the convertible option had been scrapped. It's the only vehicle Chrysler ever produced that had a convertible top, with the 72 front and back end. More than likely Chrysler got the car back at the end of its use and destroyed it. If it was still around it would be worth a fortune.

Yep !! The car was also rare in that it had a shifter on the column, and was as plain as a Barracuda could get, with its family-car wheel covers and whitewall tyres. I remember wondering at the time if it had a slant-six sitting under the hood, One could say that Barracuda was as three-dollar-billish as ole Mike Brady himself.

I always liked seeing Mr. Brady cruising into the driveway in whatever car after a long day's work at the office. Always an iconic part of a scene with the music playing. In the "Wheeler Dealer," he could have fixed up that 1956 the RIGHT way. I cannot see that car being a "lemon" given how simple it was built. My high school classmate had a 1955 and it was sweet.

I agree, that TR6 is a very nice car. That TR6 is a shade of purple that Triumph called "Damson" which is actually the name of a kind of plum. One thing this video got wrong is that TR6 is not a 1973 model. The episode aired in 1973, but that car is older. Both the color Damson and the white TR6 lettering on the rear fender were only available on the TR6 from 1969-1972, starting in '73 Triumph put a Union Jack logo on the TR6 rear fender, and stopped painting any of their cars Damson.

When you look closely at that car, it actually appears to be in not in too bad of shape for its age. It appears that they added the faux rust on the left side, removed the left front hubcap and applied something to the paint to make it look dull, as the shots of the right side after Greg supposedly fixed it, make it look pretty good from the right.

Mike's architecture firm must have been doing quite well as he would have to have been making a boatload of money back then to have the 6 kids, the non-working wife, the full-time housekeeper, the unique Avant Gard LA house and all of the expensive things they did. I would imagine over a $150,000 back in the early 70s. Now if you add him trading in two cars every year, that would also have added to his expenses. At least Mike was a down to earth guy, driving Plymouths and Chevy's. I grew up in a well to do neighborhood in that era and people with income like Mike's usually drove Cadillacs.

@@JTA1961 I think they also wanted them to look youthful and approachable and higher end cars would have run counter to that image. Case in point, the camping episode, where all nine of them went camping in an 8-passenger Plymouth wagon. However, they gave Alice the entire rear facing seat all to herself. That meant the rest of the family had to ride four to a row in the first two rows. There were ways around this with other makes that had 9-passenger wagons, but I think that a combination of the sponsorship agreement and the writer's image of the Brady's prevented this, as 9-passenger wagons were definitely the mark of a well to do family back then as they were kind of quasi-Cadillacs or Lincolns as those divisions didn't make wagons.

@@gerry-p9x Let's see $500 times 9 or $4,500 just for the airfare alone when the average salary that year was around 7 grand? That doesn't sound so cheap. Not to mention, Mike worked for a company where they paid all the expenses for him to take his large family on a business trip? Not to say that such a thing didn't happen, but if it did it would only be for some high producing employee that they didn't want to lose to the competition of whom they were already paying a very high salary for.

Back in the mid to late 1990's, I was in Orange County Calif at a well known Cuda restoration shop on the hunt for both the Mannix or Brady Bunch cuda convertibles. we got some leads remember no internet then but sitting in front of the shop was the blue Brady Bunch 1970 Fury convertible needing restoration. then owner offered it to me he had all documentation from the studio. he wanted $3,000 for it, car was all there and had no rust but needed restoration. seems cheap but at that time you could buy a 70 fury rag running and driving for about $500. told my kids about it but they showed no interest in it so I didn't buy it. later heard it was sold and shipped to Japan. never found the Cuda convertibles.
