You had an entire generation of men who learned discipline in the military and served. They carried that discipline and professionalism into and throughout their lives. Look at how the Detroit Auto manufacturing fell apart when those guys started retiring from their manufacturing jobs. Just an example

[@rathert3]

@@wb6162 I agree a lot with what you say. But Detroit auto manufacturing was doomed as gas guzzlers had to go and Japan met that need. Conscription was a good thing overall. Sadly many of our politicians used any and all deferments and excuses to not serve, bone spurs and all. The all volunteer army not only took away discipline, it took away the fellowship of serving together. But, your point is well taken. I volunteered, had 1-A draft status and #6 draft lottery number. That was the last year of the draft lottery as Nixon and Watergate and the debacle in Vietnam all came together to end the draft. I'm not sure that was a good move.

Apparently, the CHP was so slow, the bad guys had plenty of time to pull over, look for the wheel cover, put it back on the car, and still outrun the CHP! My gawd, this was a fun, wonderful show with all the great cars, but it was so terribly low budget, all the faux pas were as funny as any of the embarrassing quips Donald Trump comes up with.

[@keithammleter3824]

I think the scriptwriter was aware of the problem. He had Mathews relax slightly and say "Mrs Singleton should be here now" in a way that suggests we were supposed to believe they were all up in the hills and rocks on a stand-off for a while. You can't have a stand-off in real time in a TV show - viewers will get bored and change channel.

[@rongarrett1366]

It was a California Highway Patrolman who arrested serial killer Harvey Murray Glatman. He was coming off patrol on his motorcycle and just happened to be in the right place at the right time. Glatman was in the process of trying to kill his fourth victim. She refused to submit meekly to having her hands bound and took his gun away from him. The gun went off in the struggle, getting the attention of the officer. The young woman was both plucky and lucky.

[@williamhiles7404]

It was also a Highway Patrolman who raped & killed Cara Knott in Northern San Diego County along I-15 after a late night pull-over that wasn't called in to dispatch. Investigators tied him to other rapes using same M/O in the same spot along I-15, a dark secluded underpass, always at night. LedHed Steven 🎶 🎸 🎹 🎸 🎶

The moral of this episode is, the best way to deal with a felony record is not to get one in the first place. Don't ever commit a felonious crime. At worst, you'll end up dead (store owners shoot back); at best, you'll have a felony record dogging you all the remaining days of your life.

[@TechnikMeister2]

Here in Australia for a policemen to discharge his firearm its an absolute last resort and only if the police officer's life is is dire straits. It cannot be used to stop a fleeing fugitive. It results in a suspension, sometimes for months as an enquiry takes place. So our police are very good at running and hand to hand fighting. Gun battles are almost unheard of here. Very few criminals are armed because even being in possession of a handgun results in 5 years jail time. It's the same for knives. So random stop and searches are used a lot. Police here do not have to show probable cause to do this. Same for traffic stops. They can take your car apart if they want to. And that's the way we like it. Random stop and searches nets a surprising number of villains.

Dean Jeffries was approached in 1965 to build a 'Batmobile' and had designed and begun work on a 1959 Cadillac derived version. When it became apparent that the Cadillac derived Batmobile would not be ready in time for the shooting schedule, George Barris got the job. Barris was already in possession of the 1955 Futura and had his team redesign and modify it. Barris patented the design.

Sherffs have no general arrest authority, unlike local police and the State Police. Different states different rules. In fact some counties restrict their sheriffs even more, in Pittsburgh Pa County, county property is patroled and guarded by the County Police. The Sheriff only serves papers, escorts prisoners and guard the courthouse. The County Jail is not even under the jurisdiction of the Sheriff.

Here we have very wise words from the wife and the idiot husband chooses to go up against [Duh duh duhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... ] Dan "Gits his man" Matthews" [Duh duh duh duh duhhhhhhhhhhhh]... lol

[@charleswells5266]

Dan Mathews never takes off his hat in this episode, he was covering up something on his forehead.👮🚓

[@lancasterritzyescargotdine2602]

Notice, also, he's been doing a lot of riding instead of driving. That's no coincidence. Crawford had so many DUIs, the DMV suspended his license and he was prohibited from driving on any public roadways, even during filming.

When I was working in the 80's we only had 3 units for the entire city of 25,000.

[@Theywaswrong]

Ha...I live in a little town of about 800...we have that many. An even smaller town about 12 miles from me, about 350 folks, had six..."6" units....all sitting somewhere on the four lane highway that passed through, all writing tickets until the attorney general started shutting down the speed traps. I dont consider these types real cops, most are sloppy fat and enjoy walking around with a duty belt on.

[@richzeman]

The car from the first officer on the scene seems to have disappeared. If it is still out there, I want it.

[@markmnorcal]

Can any old timer tell me if they really used road blocks back then like they do in this show!?

[@leecoffman2594]

Back then I only saw road blocks during the Christmas and New Year season, and that was to catch drunk drivers.

[@hemipower3308]

LoveAddict69 They still Do here in California,checking for impaired drivers.

[@Tubby31310]

Yes they did really put up road blocks. I was traveling with my aunt which had 9 kids we were stopped by a road block. They made every kid show their faces and remove all blankets to variety an escaped convict wasn’t in our car. The officers were very firm when they said LOCK ALL DOORS AND DO NOT PICK UP ANY HITCH HIKERS!

[@mdnealy4097]

Yea they used them often as a perimeter after a crime was committed.

[@lancasterritzyescargotdine2602]

Yes, they did. In fact they had CHP doing roadblocks right up until 1970.

[@j3lny425]

Why did she ask for the Highway patrol and not the police? This did not happen on any highway.

Can’t stop watching these

Another great episode. The glam blonde wife was a dead ringer for Janet Leigh. Maybe she was a stand in for the Psycho shower scene !! 🙋‍♂️👏👏🇬🇧

LOVE THE CARS !....////

[@robertsabella7298]

I like how when they identify the car as a four door sedan black in color. Never mentioning the make or model.

[@lancasterritzyescargotdine2602]

How about, "I saw that! It was a black 4-door sedan with white sidewall tires!" in an earlier episode with a black '58 Chrysler 4-DHT. Oh, really? That should narrow it down! Garvey, get on the horn and broadcast all units to be on the lookout for a black 4-door sedan with white sidewall tires. They should be easy to spot in no time!

[@marketingguru6986]

Back then drivers liked getting in and out using the passenger side door!

[@dennisandry1632]

Remember my dad and uncles on his side wearing those hats, thought it was so COOL to do that, so I asked fer one of my own and dad would let me wear his.......supervised of course!! Lol

Men looked great in fedoras, it beats the hell out of backward baseball caps.

[@jonhohensee3258]

He looks silly.

[@keithammleter3824]

I was around in the 1950's, It was considered bad manners to wear a hat inside. Perhaps it is supposed to convey Mathews' character as "I don't give a shit - I'm in charge here and I'm in a hurry. I give orders and you jump to it."

[@barryzeeberg3672]

An ex-con illegally carrying a gun, armed robbery at the pharmacy, shooting at the officers. Does it really matter that he did not kill the blackmailer? Not very fair to his wife, who remained incredibly loyal to him.

It's her own fault for hanging around or getting married to a thug.

Yeah, he (Matthews) always wearing hat, even inside the office. I wonder why?

A '58 Mercury ragtop, I like it. Now that's the first time I've seen that car in this series.

[@davebrown4941]

I believe it's a 59, by the grill & tail light.

[@billdescoteaux]

It's definitely a '58. The vent window is similar to the '57. For '59, the vent window changed to a more rounded curve at the top, which carried over into '60.

[@jamesmarshall6396]

@@billdescoteaux Definitely a 58. The 59's were completely redesigned.

[@mrdiplomat9018]

Not a Pontiac ❓

[@jacquesgervais1713]

Final answer: Here we have a 1958 Mercury Park Lane convertible. Could have a 383 CID V8. Best would have been the Super Marauder V8 that is 430 CID and 400 BHP if it had the 3X2 barrels (six pack). The only year for that 400 HP engine.
