Every car on this episode have FINS. When I was a kid I always thought the fins made the car go faster.

[@filthylucreonyoutube]

The CARS! Some of us rode in palatial back seats of those cars when they (and we!) were new. I fondly remember walking around on the back seat of my parents '52 Chrysler Windsor Deluxe when I was a toddler - so I could see out the back windows! Child restraints? What are those 🤣?

[@agems56]

I remember riding beside my father in a tubular child seat, complete with a steel steering wheel which hung from the backrest of the front seat, and no padding or restraint, except for that steering wheel, much like sitting in a shopping cart with legs dangling! The cars had no headrests or seat belts either!

That music playing in the diner must.have been the only record they could use. I've heard it in many other HW Patrol episodes.😂

The lack of background music makes this more realistic than today's slick, heavily produced shows.

And another thing I really miss are the variety of shows like Ed Sullivan . You could watch the Chinese performer spinning plates in one act and then somebody like Tony Bennett came on next. It was great fun to watch what became known as "varity shows" over the world.

I agree that yesterday was better than today. Hell, in the 40s look what they did in WWII? It was the greatest generation to quote Tom Brokaw, and I think it's going to be tough going for the next l0 years or so. I get a magazine called "Reminice" and I love it.

Such clean-cut villains. And a tight skirt is always a good idea for a heist. And a business suit. At least he skipped the tie. And I love it in all these shows that drivers so often slide over and exit from the passenger side when there is no logical reason to do so. And in this one, the girl takes off the police hat, and just a bit later her bangs are in perfect position. There are millions of little illogical details to be noticed in these shows. It's half the fun. For me at least.

[@Zebra_3]

and no audible farting?!

[@donnienicholson6062]

Sliding across the seat must be why they had those slick plastic seat covers.One episode Ken exited the driver's side with heavy traffic dodging his door twice but out in the hills he slid across.

As well as the San Fernando Valley when Most of the Valley was Farmland.

[@remmymafia3889]

A lot of these episodes were filmed in the San Fernando Valley. The rural-ness of the 50's is plain to see. I lived briefly in Calabasas ('57-'59), the distinct, barren hills, characterized the valley in those days. Across the highway (no 101 yet) and a bit before Calabasas was the private hilly rural subdivision, called Hidden Hills, where my cousins would move to, in 1960. It was remote back then-houses were few and far between. I drove past the entrance on 101 maybe ten or so years ago, and couldn't believe it was the same area. Back in '59 when I last saw it while living in Calabasas, it was a massive hilly area, with so few homes built, that I had no idea it was private (gated).

[@mikeflynn1629]

I believe the highway patrol took away Broderick Crawford's license because of 10 or so drunk driving. They didn't like him very much as being Publix view of the CHP. There was a lot of shows where they were on dirt roads only. They were private not under the jurisdiction of the CHP. One of the greatest shows

I caught that too. And in a 4 door. And I just have to point this out and correct the record... the 2nd '59 Chevy was NOT an Impala. It was a Biscayne. On the Biscayne models the side trim ended in the middle of the driver's door and had a Biscayne badge on the end of the rear quarter panel. On the Bel Airs the side trim ran the whole length of the body and the Bel Air badge was on the front fenders above the side trim with a small Chevrolet Bow-Tie embalm between the Bel and the Air. The Impala was car in the first robbery where the driver was killed. (Just a bit of 1959 Chevrolet trivia)

My Dad had one ugliest car ever made lol

@@ACowGirlFan Well done. Back then, I remember Chevy taking great pains to differentiate it's trim lines. You could tell a top-of-the-line Impala from a base-entry-level Biscayne from far far away by the amount (or absence) of chrome. At that time, even backup lights were optional extra-cost on anything other than the Impala.

13:48, This “Juke Box” Music playing a tune that sound similar to “I Married Joan” TV Theme Song.

[@jimervin387]

That music in the cafe was '40s big band music. I have to doubt that they would still be playing 10 year old music by '59. This was the golden age of rock&roll, country and doowop.

[@neverjethot]

I dunno, I think the proprietor played whatever he liked.

[@Boogaboioringale]

I still remember hearing big band music back then , especially on our (one and only) black and white tv.😆

[@jimervin387]

@@Boogaboioringale Since the TV series was made in '59, I guess the music would have to be correct for the time. I only recall hearing some good rock & roll on the juke box in places where I ate. But any of those oldies sound better than hearing just nothing in any eating place these days.

[@Boogaboioringale]

Jim Ervin yeah. Rock and Roll was coming on strong then.

There is a 1959 Chevrolet Impala 4 door hardtop and two tone paint job, and dual rear radio antennas. For 1959, 4 door hardtop is the most popular body style for Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Chrysler, DeSoto, Dodge, Edsel, Ford, Imperial, Lincoln, Mercury, Oldsmobile, Plymouth, Pontiac, and even Rambler. Many have push buttons on the dashboard, it feel like in the "Jetson" car, but it does not fly.

Finally a joint with a jukebox blasting out my favorite sounds, man! Swinging older dude picks up hot but snippy brunette with a gun in a new Fury convertible that has a 413 with dual quads and a cross over manifold. Makes no difference to Dan that Nicky's bad timing got him a lead shoulder while his girly lays on a bs story to Ken! Dan dodges so many bullets on this show that the department was going to issue him a catchers mitt! Now thats entertainment!

[@chrisneilson7221]

Dan's unmarked '59 Biscayne had a 348 in it. Might have been the 335 HP version with triple two-barrels.

[@jacquesgervais1713]

1959 Plymouth convertibles were either the Belvedere or the Sports Fury. No Fury convertible in 1959. Biggest engine for the 1959 Plymouth was the 361 CID "Golden Commando Power" with 305 BHP. The 413's arrived two years later in 1961 and the 383's were available in 1960 and 1961.

[@jeffryder1430]

hot but snippy brunette. I gotta get me one of those.
