It probably looked like
by the way, she's still alive. She sold the car to a guy named Don Edwards, or the editor of Fabulous Mustangs Magazine, Jeff Tann. The Mustang was hers for 22 years, and had AC

but I also ran across this:
and now I'm wondering about this car. 1968 Bonneville? 1969 Catalina? Pontiac was a big promoter of I Dream Of Jeannie, and the main characters, Jeannie and the astronaut had a couple of them, one was a 1968 Bonneville
Update Feb 2019, here is Barbara Eden painting the car!

The things I learn from you blog Jesse. I didn't know Barb had a Mach 1 Mustang. On a side note, what an incredible woman, and what a career.
ReplyDeletePssst! I tell you a secret, I just found out too! Oh, she was a favorite of mine, that show's concept of a magic beautiful woman that could make anything happen? That was just brain candy to me as a little kid in the 70s. I was 5 or 6 when I started watching that show... there were some cool and marvelous tv shows back then, the Munsters, Jeannie, Land of the lost! It was a good time to be innocent, and ignorant of the shitty world. Just a dumb kid and a tv show about a magic genie, and saturday morning cartoons. I didn't have a great childhood, but for a moment, it was ideal - and nothing burst the bubble of ignorance. It was leave it to beaver, lassie, and Roy Rodgers, you know?
DeleteThe Pontiac is a 1968 in both pictures. The 1969 had the body-colored Endura vertical nose piece, where the 1968 is all chrome.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Now I'm hoping someone will know what the deal was with the groovy painted Pontiac
DeleteThe photos of Barbara and Larry were taken during filming of the "I Dream of Jeannie" episode "Jeannie the Hip Hippie." When new General Schaefer's daughter Suzie witnesses Jeannie doing magic in all her silk chiffon glad glory, Suzie blackmails Maj. Nelson into letting her hippie boyfriend Harold live with him (temporarily). Under threat of being exposed to his superior officer, Maj. Nelson allows Suzie and Harold to wreak havoc on him for about two days. During this time Jeannie (getting wrapped up in the fun of it all) paints Maj. Nelson's car in a hippie flower child pattern with the slogan "Make love, not war!" This doesn't go over well at NASA with Dr. Bellows and the new general.
DeleteSO there you go, the car was washed off (tempera paints were used) and the car resumed it's normal look by the end of the episode.
THANKS for the info! Very cool to learn which episode!
