A great "bundle deal" would have been Miss Peggy (Joanna Moore) and the stunning '62 Thunderbird her dad bought her. Both were beautiful and purred like kittens, especially Miss Peg with that"southern belle" drawl that could melt butter.❤️

9:51 This is astonishing. Ford was engaged in a life and death boardroom war with Ferrari in 1966. It's mind-blowing that Ford didn't raise the roof with the show's producers over this segment featuring a Ferrari.

I am a big fan of the Andy Griffith show, and I watch it quite often, thank you for this very interesting and well-presented video.

One of my favorite episodes is "The Case of the Punch in the Nose," (Barney is at his best in this one).

[@SallySallySallySally]

These are really a trip! The way you use voice-generation to mimic the voices of the actors is unique and adds a lot to the appeal. Here's some trivia about The Andy Griffith Show: All of the exteriors were filmed on the "Forty Acres" back lot in Culver City, which was used for many movies and TV shows. Sometimes, there's an inadvertent tell in a shot. For example, in the Star Trek episode "The City on the Edge of Forever," the crew of the Enterprise walks down a street on the same set as TAGS, complete with "Floyd's Barber Shop" painted on one of the windows. Some exteriors on Hogan's Heroes barely show just the edge of Wally's gas station at the end of the road. Thanks for posting this.

[@mastergunnerysgt1258]

Kidd you have brought back many memories of things of the past of the things that you put here today. For my friend and I met in 1959 grade school. For he and I always kept in contact for many years until I got out of the Corps in late 1985. For we both had the love of cars, for we had found an old 55 Jag XK 140, for he and I had built that car together for 4 yr's from the ground up and 3 months later after we had completed it my brother died from a heart attack .But there is one thing that you must understand that my brother was black and I am white. But one thing is for sure that we of all colors will always stand together under this Flag of the US. For I know this true for all my brothers under the Red white and blue.

A documentary about the car's, that were in Mayberry, is one thing. Voicing the separate actor's characters, is ANOTHER THING😁👍!!! This was a top-notch, production. A '1965 Excalibur, series 1'?? Kinda looks more like a 1935, era model style, no🤔??? Are you sure about the date?? I'm glad that you put in the write-up, that Andy, was a widower. 'Cause 'cept for the very first episode, that fact isn't mentioned, whatsoever, throughout the series😉.

Well, after watching your video, I realized you left out the 1956 Ford F-100 that was used in many episodes . " Citizen's Arrest." Is just one of the episodes. So many of the characters use this truck in many different episodes. This is the forgotten truck of the Andy Griffin show.The reason I am pushing this so much is that I am a big fan of the show. I actually bought a 56 F -100 because I like the show so much, and I still have it to this day. Wally started out with the truck at his service station. Gomer has it! Goober has it for a bit. Andy used it to go camping and on picnics with Helen. Gomer also used it to take Thelma lou to mount pilot. It was used in so many episodes from the very beginning, almost to the end. I'm guessing this is the forgotten truck of the Andy Griffin show. Don't forget to tell them, "Gomer says, "Hey"!
