The Cars Of The O.C.: Trey and Ryan's Get Away Car Mystery Revealed!


Here it is, the first glorious minute of one of the greatest shows of all time, the famous Trey and Ryan car jacking cop chase from season 1 episode 1. I've been wanting to know for awhile now what kind of car they stole, although I never really tried looking until now...Through hours and hours of research, the staff at All Things The O.C. finally reached a conclusion - the stolen car that Trey incessantly steals is in fact a 1978 Chevy Camaro! Right off the bat, the car looked like something straight out of the 70's which helped during our research. The smaller square turn signals (near the headlights) gave it away as well as the grill...Ironically Benjamin Mckenzie (Ryan Atwood) was born in 1978 which makes him and the car the exact same age.

Furthermore check out the Camaro's licence plate as he races away nearly throwing Ryan out of the car! The license plate reads 2CON654
.

Interestingly the license plate numbers 2CON654 has been known to be attached to other productions including Axel Foley's convertible in the Beverly Hills Cop movies. It would be cool to figure out if the letters and numbers mean anything! 




So there we have it solved the mystery just like I promised! Makes you wonder what would have happened if the boy's never got caught by the police, for our sake i'm glad they did!

Rare Glimpses: The View Inside Ryan's Harbor School Locker


Here we have the beloved school locker of Ryan Atwood/Cohen, complete with well i'm assuming school books and a few door stickers. Wow I didn't know Ryan was into self promotion. Most of the stickers look to be surfing brands and then the largest photo looks to be a Hammock overlooking the beach. Maybe this is Ryan's ideal mecca of relaxation or an eventual retirement place, maybe it was even suppose to be created into a spinoff "Ryan and The Hammock", we may never know..Stay tuned for next article where we reveal Ryan Atwoods locker combination!

Lovable Props From The O.C.: The Chrismukkah Work Wheel


Here is a rare glimpse into a very for some reason forgettable Seth Cohen show prop, No its not Captain Oats, its The Chrismukkah Work Wheel! During the season 2 episode 6 "The Chrismukkah That Almost Wasn't", Seth Ezekiel in his overly hyper Christmas spirit tries to divvy out the elf work (jewcruitment) a little different with this special hand made paper plate spinning wheel contraption (stay tuned for the DIY on how to make this very wheel). Seth never actually spins it but instead lands the arrow on the head of his choosing and begins to give Ryan, Kirsten and Sandy jobs, typical COHEN!

Bonus information: Seth makes Kirsten in-charge of the decor (glad it wasn't the cooking), Ryan is in charge of "roping in the Hebrews", which is Ryan's specialty since he is a blonde blue eyed dude. Oh yes and Sandy, yeah he kinda opts out of all the duties in which the group then says "Oy Humbug!"
