A Product Of Witchcraft

Bewitched. Season 3, Episode 19. And who rolls onto the screen? None other than Gene Winfield’s wild show rod, The Reactor.

I actually remember watching this one as a kid, parked on the couch next to my old man. The moment that car showed up, he lit up and said, “I had a model kit of that one!” Like it was a celebrity sighting.

These clips just popped up on YouTube, and I couldn’t resist. Had to feature them. I think The Reactor might be the most televised show rod of all time—not necessarily in total screen time, but certainly in number of appearances.

Bewitched, Star Trek, Batman, Mission Impossible… and probably a few more floating around out there.

Anyway, enjoy the feature:

Interesting note: In 1997, Motortrend Classic credited this episode for the first use of the term, “Super car.”
