Happy Days - Una serata movimentata

#2- The Lemon (1/22/74)

Richie and Potsie team up their money to buy a convertible in order to impress two girls.

Ralph comes in his red convertible to Arnold's and picks up Betty and Trudy and offers to take them home. Richie and Potsie think about combining their money to buy a car to take to the sock hop. Richie has $100 and Potsie has $75. They buy a white car with an eagle as a hood ornament. Howard goes in the car to start the engine and falls back in the seat (Nash seat). They wait to they close Arnold's and then push the car back home later that evening. Fonzie comes over and repairs the car and takes the eagle ornament. They return from the sock hop and go to the lake to see the "submarine races". Betty Wilkin's father calls and talks to Howard. Howard goes to Arnold's and talks with Fonzie. The car goes into the lake when Richie and Potsie let go of it. Fonzie buys the car for $25, drys it out, and then sells it to Otto's Auto's Orphanage for $50.
