Art & Inspiration Was there a Hamb era car on a TV series that made a lasting impression on you?

Ringo’s(or was it Ognir’s?). ‘57.

 

The Munster Coach

 

Likewise my old friend! We will do it again soon.

 

The Mannix GTS 340 Dart. Affordable kool. Being a convertible pushed it over the top for me.

 

Life of Riley - "Juvenile Delinquent 1956":

 

Anyone remember The Mod Squad? how about the 1950 Mercury woodie wagon?

It was used for a couple of seasons, in season 2 it lost brakes ran off a cliff and burst into flames.HRP

 

This is just an inch out of bounds, but Green Hornet's Black Beauty.

Only ever saw the show in reruns, and then just super seldom.

But, whoo....



counting movie cars, maybe Greased Lightning (pre f'd up dune buggy end of Grease look)



I know, corny graphics, but give me a break, I was 8!

And this little punk.

 

I remember an episode of Father Knows Best where Bud buys an old Jalopy. I can only find these 2 pics:

 

The 55 in the picture is currently residing in a north Hollywood storage unit.

I'm surprised no one mentioned the car owned by Pete Chapouris and driven bu Martin Sheen in the
made for TV movie The California Kid. HRP

 

Remember "The Life of Riley" roadster ? HRP

 

1940 Plymouth Woody from the Walton's television show. HRP

 

And a cool roadster on Dragnet. HRP

 

I watched it to see more of Connie Stevens!

 

You must have been disappointed, Connie was on Hawaiian Eye.
I also watched that show for Connie.

 

The Thunder Road '51 Ford (Lucas Doolin's 50)



Niles Pendling's Olds was pretty sweet too as was Jed's 40

Norm's Kookie T, what else?

 

X 10 on the Munsters

 

Looks like 3 different roadsters, one with a sbc, one with a rocket and one with a flattie Arden. Hot Rod Magazine is mentioned in the credits

 

Sure the hell wasnt the graffiti coupe! What a pile!

 

Yeah, I watched that stupid show too.

 

There was a show called Shannon in the early 60’s, the main characters car had all types of concealed equipment. The car was a bubble top Buick I think or maybe a convert, been too long.
That show had the coolest car.

 

Slow night at my house

 

I'm surprised nobody mentioned "My Mother the Car" with Jerry VanDyke. Short run, but as a 5-6 year old in 1966-67 I watched the show. I remember the local variety store had an AMT model kit of it on the shelf, and I wanted it BAD. Had to wait another year or so before I got my first model car kit and never found it. But all the old Fords on the Andy Griffith Show, Hazel, the FBI, etc. in first-runs sure stoked my interest along with those 'cartoon' cars like the Beverly Hillbillies Olds, Munster Coach, Batmobile, Black Beauty (and the '66 Chrysler 300 ragtop), a '46 Ford in a 3rd season episode of Lost in Space...I could go on and on

 

The car in Shannon was a 61 Buick Special four door. It must have had a 215 V8 the way he out ran that 61 ford ragtop.

 

I like seeing the late fifties Chryslers in Peter Gunn and Mr Lucky, the big tailfinned cars that were new then.

 

Yep !
