<VV> VirtualVairs Digest, Vol 247, Issue 7

[Rick Fulkerson]

And in another show, they show a flashback of Dale Gribble's first Dale's Dead Bug van. Of course a corvan. A bit more obscure, Phineas and Ferb (Disney cartoon) shows a Greenbrier with a hippie paint job in Isabelle and the Temple of Sap. It only has 2 headlights, but the taillights and band down the side leave little doubt.

Been binge watching "King Of The Hill".

King of the Hill (1997) - S03E23 - Wings of the Dope: ?? 1964 Greenbrier 
8-door. ? With a hot dog on the roof... the "Weenie Wagon".

King of the Hill (1997) - S03E25 - As Old As The Hills:???? Another 
Greenbrier, service vehicle at the local Arlen airport.


The show seems to do pretty well with better than average depictions of 
cars for an animated TV show created by the folks who brought us "Beavis 
and Butthead"... Hank Hill drives a Ford Ranger pickup.? His neighbor 
Boomhower drives a '68 Dodge Superbee.? His dad Cotten drives a '76 
Cadillac.? Wife Peggy, a Ford Grenada.

I can't help but wonder if one of the production crew owns a 
Greenbrier.?? Not sure... but did GM make any 8-door Greenbriers in 
'64??? It had amber parking lights.?? I'm not that up on FC details, 
only ones that ever lived here was a '65 Greenbrier and a '64 95 panel van.

That's good.

Also If you can find show #6 (the last one) of Police Squad, there is a 
great scene with an early Corvair.
