Did the Partridge Family Have a Nickname for Their Bus
Q. Where'southward the bus?
A. After exhaustive research with a highly reliable source, we have uncovered the following...the actual bus lived for years behind Lucy's Tacos on Martin Luther Male monarch Blvd, right by USC. When Lucy'due south repaved their parking lot, circa Feb 1987, the bus was sent off to a junk yard. Information technology was in horrible shape -- windows cleaved, tires flat, all identifying type (such as the family name on the side and the "Circumspection Nervous Female parent Driving" sign on the back) was painted over in white and the rest of the autobus was miserably faded. So, the effect is that the orginal autobus is long gone. Cheers to Lisa for this info!
The Nick-At-Nite recreation, which was sitting in Nick'south lot in Orlando every bit recently as Oct of 1996. is a 70s squareback bus (the original was a '57 Chevy, rounded bus).
In that location is also another fake bus in Atlanta at the "Have A Squeamish Day Cafe", which looks like this:
As well, there is a pretty good replica of the bus sitting on a subcontract in Waterloo, Iowa (moving picture taken 12/25/99). The birds supplant the PF name and, if you look hard you can see that the elevation forepart of it says "Come On Get Happy!" and the license plate is "GTHAPPY". Note the fuzzy dice. Thank you, Beth, for the photograph!!
However another version of the bus was created for the Fall 1999 TV film, "C'mon Get Happy: The Partridge Family unit Story", and looks similar this:
The paint chore is vastly different from the original, only it wasn't seen all that much in the picture and information technology was probably felt a off-white facsimile would suffice. In May 2000, the passenger vehicle was put up for auction by www.bidahollywood.com.
In 2004, another motorbus was created for the sick-fated VH-1 serial "In Search of the Partridge Family/The New Partridge Family". This motorcoach varied from the original color scheme and design somewhat:
In 2005, PF fan LeRoy Jessen wrote to u.s.a.: "I passed this sight on Route 23 in Ashville, NY, just outside the Catskills. I was wondering if it was the original PF bus, but apace plant out that no longer exists. But information technology doesn't seem to be like any of the other replicas I saw on your web site. Is this ane of the accounted-for replicas or a new ane?"
And that's what we know virtually the diverse versions of the bus!
Q. Where did that great blueprint for the autobus come from?
A. The artist Piet Mondrian was known for his geometric designs. The one the motorcoach about resembles is Composizione 1921.
Q. When will "Bulletin Board" exist released on CD?
A. The only PF album Non available on CD is "Message Board", the final LP of original material. Currently, there are NO plans to release "Bulletin Lath."

Q. Wasn't in that location a "new" Partridge Family unit?
A. Aye! In 2004, VH-1 produced a reality show called "In Search of the Partridge Family," in which everyday people auditioned to part of a new, updated version of our favorite musical family. The search ran for eight weeks, and viewers were encouraged to vote for the people they wanted to be the new Shirley, Keith, Laurie, and Danny Partridge (the roles of Chris, Tracy, and Reuben were to be cast at a later on appointment). In one case the new cast was chosen, a pilot episode of "The New Partridge Family unit" was aired in January of 2005. It was the only episode filmed, as VH-one cancelled the series later the pilot aired. A new Partridge song, "Love Can Start a Revolution" made its debut on the show, equally did new versions of "Come up On Become Happy" and "I Think I Love You lot". To the all-time of our knowledge, these songs were never recorded for public purchase. The bandage of "The New Partridge Family" is pictured below:
Suzanne Sole (Shirley) ... Leland Grant (Keith) ... Emily Rock (Laurie)
Spencer Tuskowski (Danny)... Anthony Skillman (Chris) ... Hanna Leigh Dworkin (Tracy)
French Stewart (Reuben) ... The New Partridge Family
