Jean Shepherd - Friendly Fred's Used Car Lot



The Old Man tells his buddy Gertz about the latest "cream puff" on Friendly Fred's used car lot in this clip from the third TV film adaptation of writer/narrator Jean Shepherd's short stories, "The Star-Crossed Romance of Josephine Cosnowski", first telecast in 1984 on PBS-TV. Jean Shepherd is best remembered for the first big-screen adaptation of his short stories in the cult 1983 film "A Christmas Story", which he also narrated.

Nothing like a Shep story. His work is genius. George Vreeland Hill

@cmans79tr7 - I remember that radui show, from circa 1976. The color was "Goat Vomit Green". A quickie $99 paint job.

My father once told me of a J.S. story where Jean went to get his car painted and when he went to pick it up, he saw a car in the lot, but he hoped it wasn't his. But of course it WAS his. Jean described the color as "Goat-Puke Green". He said it looked like a pickle. It even had the little speckles on it.

'65 to '70 we had a '52 Buick like the one in the clip. I was 12 when dad sold it to a friend's son for $75. I was sorry to see it go. I remember the view from outside of this graceful behemoth, with the colored plastic inserts inside pitted chromed potmetal bezels. Acres of painted and chromed steel, huge bias-ply whitewall tires. The commanding view and feel of the road from the inside, the smell of the mohair-filled overstuffed bench seats, the muted roar of the powerful straight-eight.

Jean Shepard tells what it's like to live life in a small town and the innocence of the 50's and 60's. I grew up in this era and these clips bring back great memories.

I feel it violates the spirit of YouTube (and opens me to getting my account shut down) to post more than brief clips. Thanks for the kind words.

Anymore from this particular movie? As the husband (27 years) of a Polish broad, I am anxious to see it all.
