I am 74... still enjoy them. the 'pre-California' politics destroyed California - love the cars... and the simple nature of the homes, landscapes, etc. Sad, however, to hear the struggles those actors all had in their private lives.

Saw this show in reruns in the mid 1960's. I became a music teacher. Was taking piano lessons then...I wrote out the notes in the key of C to the Highway Patrol theme. My piano teacher was impressed that after only 2 years of lessons I could write this out and play the melody in the right hand and with chords and moving bass line notes in the lefthand. So the theme song was a milestone in my life but I did not know it at the time. Teacher said to me none of her other students have ever done this. So because of Highway Patrol I became a music teacher lol.

She only acted from 1957 to 1962 in 12 different tv shows or movies. Maybe her acting career was cut short due to her pulling a gun on Dan Mathews and spent many years in prison. LOL

I was 17 in 1977 when my ma bought my first car a '59 2 door Impala for $1600 in mint condition. Even then '59 Chevy's were a rare sight & this young man in his 20's was checking it out & advised me to hang onto the car he said it'll go up in value someday. Some people can see value before anyone else can. But it wasn't an investment I liked the style. I got into a wreck & it wasn't worth fixing at the time....but it would've been in the long run. I didn't think ahead I was a kid. In 1978 my dad bought me a '57 Bel Air 4 dr hardtop for $1000 & I later sold it for $1700 the first time I made money.

It's sort of a holdover from when there were still a lot of unpaved roads. People would exit the car on the curb side so that they weren't walking in mud and getting their shoes dirty.

Not many vehicles with a bench seat anymore, so it's not really a option nowadays.....

8:55 - nothing like a touch of slapstick to liven things up. Broderick Crawford is quite the versatile actor. Too bad Broderick didn't try the old Three Stooges routine at 11:40 where, after knocking on the door a few times and looking away for a moment, he knocks on the forehead of the person who just opened the door. At 14:12, while the narrator speaks, I bet Broderick is saying something like, "I always tell them there is no difference between a craft bourbon and a good old fashioned bottle of Jack Daniels, so stop trying to charge me so much."

[@jontonkin6291]

i would have loved to lived back then..driving all those good old cars..

[@richardrice8076]

There IS nothing like driving those old cars, I have the privilege to drive them thru out the summer.

[@conniewojahn6445]

Drove like tanks. No power steering, no power brakes, hand crank windows, guzzled gas, spewed stink, hot sticky vinyl seats, shift control required a muscle bound man to operate. And, NO AC. That part really bad.

[@jacquesgervais1713]

Because 1957 Ford could have 312 CID V-8 as opposed to 283 CID V-8 in Chevys. Fords were faster.

Susan Dorn on the closing credits

[@jamesdawson4459]

So, at 11:24 Matthews drives away from the store in a Mercury and three seconds later shows up at the suspect's house in a Dodge. These guys are good!

[@jeffmayo2439]

I was more worried about that 1957 Bel Air taking a slug than I was for Matthews !;P

[@jacquesgervais1713]

That is a "two-Ten" series.

[@jacquesgervais1713]

My apologies, further investigation confirms that this is a Bel Air.

This is Broderick Crawford saying I need a drink..

[@gobbollino2688]

Good job the car roofs are high, what with them hats virtually glued onto their heads they need to be (I’m not talking about officers in uniform) That’s why they had so many convertibles

[@PunaSquirrel]

I think the TCF logo has had too much to drink. It's all over the place 😂

[@chokkan7]

That Broderick is damned near clairvoyant...
