THis is a picture of an old car they had at our parade last night...one of many. Included in the old cars was an old truck that was donated to our Historical society by Marion Ross of Happy Day fame. I love old cars especially when they are restored to look original!

I agree with you Ron Howard as a great director; however, Henry must be considered as a busy actor also. Have a good week.

I meant Ron Howard as a director. He's directed many many movies.

Hey that is cool! Is Marion Ross from your town, or did she spend time there growing up? She has stayed more active than any other Happy Days actor besides director Ron Howard. The last time I saw her she was guest starring on the now canceled Gilmore Girls.

Actually, I'm sorry to disagree with your post, as Henry Winkler has been just as busy as Marion. Also Henry goes on a lot of talk shows to promote the shows he is on and I'm hoping the comedy that a pilot was made gets picked up. He has starred in several comedies, since Happy Days including Arrested Development and Out of Practice. I would be listing most of the night, if I started listing every show he has guest starred on since Happy Days. He is now working on a movie. In the last 10 years, I have seen more of Ron Howard's daughter Bryce than Ron. She is busy now. She was in Spider-man 3, as realize some people will be saying who is she.

What a nice looking car. Looks like a Ford from the 1930's but that's just a guess on my part. I see the rumble seat in the back. I have a brother who once owned an old car similar to the one in the photo and we use to ride in the rumble seat. Ofcourse traffic wasn't as heavy as it is now and it was safe to ride in the back. The wheels on these cars were amazing. Thanks for sharing this photo and bringing back some good memories.

Those Mustang's were so neat. Have you driven yet? Have a cousin who bought a '64 back in '64 and only sold it just a few years ago. She was the first person I knew who could afford to buy one. Would have been a good investment if I had the money back then.

Jillhill, Loved the picture of the old car. It's really quite beautiful. How nice of Marion Ross to donate it. Does she live in your town?

She grew up here....she was back in the first part of June and they named the community theater after her....Unfortunately I was out of town on vacation so I missed seeing her.
