These cars were cool but they were also death traps. I know from experience, these cars were part of my growing up era but when there was a high speed collision people surely paid the price. technology has saved many lives

I love it. "When there was a collision". Like two cars just decided to crash into each other. Driver error or inattention is and always has been the cause of vehicular fatalities. Cars don't kill people. Morons in cars kill people.

Loved this TV show since my schoolboy days back in the later 1950s. As big a star as Broderick Crawford was, for UK based me those big Yankee V8s were the real stars. There's a Mustang 289 V8 in my Longbridge Birmingham UK built MG ZT 260 .. makes that lovely distinctive V8 sound.

Ventura Freeway intersection up ahead is the discontinued Old Rondell St. (now Agoura Rd.) ramp in Agoura Hills ½ mile northwest of the Liberty Canyon Rd. intersection. Better view of this intersection @15:56 of the Highway Patrol Prison Break episode. This off ramp intersection at Agoura Rd. was used when filming the 1963 movie, It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World, when Phil Silvers waves down Don Knotts for a ride.

I love these old tv series made when tv was in its infancy. They were mini plays made with name actors who cut their teeth on and off Broadway. My daughter and I enjoy trying to identify the different cars seen on camera. If we can get the name, model, and the year it’s a win. The name and year aren’t too hard, but to get the model takes a real car nut who knows his 50’s cars.

I have no idea why Dan Mathews asked to use the woman’s house phone at the end because if it was police related all he had to do was call the dispatcher with his police phone. So it must have been something of a personal nature. This episode came from the final season and I noticed a prevalence of British cars in the background; such as a Hillman Minx convertible, a Jaguar Mk 1, and a Morris Minor. And sadly there would be a great many more foreign brands in the following decade.
