Highway Patrol 31 in Detour to Death

[@legalmexican]

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]

[@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

Brod Crawford was a quick study but also a first class boozer. On breaks between scenes, he'd down a pitcher of beer in one gulp.

[@JeffDeWitt]

+Vladislov Kyzinski In earlier episodes they only showed him driving on dirt roads. That's because they were on private property as the state of California revoked his license for drunk driving. In those days you had to be a SERIOUS drunk driver to get your licence revoked, not like today.

Jeff DeWitt Hi Jeff. Thanks for the info. I think my first comment got lost. So I'm re-posting.

[@jimervin387]

On that shot of the back of Broderick's car, I didn't see a license plate. Did anyone else?

[@Boogaboioringale]

That’s my kind of guy!!🍺🍺🍺🍻🍻

[@davidhoogendyke2774]

At least it was only beer!

[@mrdiplomat9018]

I love at the end how he just leaves the guy with the gunshot wound on the ground and leaves🤪☠️

[@bertgrau9246]

He did say he would call an ambulance for the guy, frankly I would have left him there and take his sister to jail

I love how they, Left the man, Laying on the horn, till the battery run down,,

I used to watched Dragnet and it aired from 1953 to 1957, and I do watched it back in the late 1970s, as of old reruns. Police does handcuffed the suspects behind their backs for breaking the law, such as murder, manslaughter, and assault to the innocent people. Dragnet is one of the first police drama back in the 1950s.

Crawford talks so fast sometimes i can't understand what he's saying.

[@gregorymcleod1347]

Love these shows! So good!👍

[@unclemikeb]

I just watched this a second time in three months and realized when he backed up to the trailer the car was about three feet short of the trailer, then with no one moving the car suddenly it was in perfect position to hook it up. I never noticed it the first time I watched. LOL

@MDS camera plays reverse? I don't get it. AOC

[@jan22150]

@@AzarroFineArts they had a camera on while backing up.

[@robertlee9395]

When men were men and could move trailers.

[@bertgrau9246]

The guy picked up the front of the trailer and hooked onto the ball hitch.

59 Chevy is a big block 348. Notice the v and crossed flags on the hood.

[@billhuber2964]

My compliments Mr. Fowler. You know your 50s vehicles.

[@-oiiio-3993]

I had one, a Sport Coupe in 'Roman Red'. When the 348 died, I put in a 425 HP 409.

[@ACowGirlFan]

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)

[@davidcouch6514]

My Dad had one ugliest car ever made lol

[@ctranger]

@@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.

[@Cracktaculus]

The highways were fulla psychos back in the late 50s, this show is tame compared to the harsh reality of a patrolman's life in the early days....They used their service revolvers to scratch their own, enormous balls back then.

[@davidcarroll1883]

My 1st car was a 59 4 door Fury. That 2 door rag top puts mine to shame and it was fully loaded. No air.

Love the amateurishness of it all. Charming. Cops handling crime scenes like they want to destroy the evidence :)
