I'm waiting in line and the person in front of me is loudly complaining the room next to her has barking dogs in it, I see a post about hourly rates on the register (!?) and the bed had like 4" valleys in it where people slept (or other bed uses).

[@charleskinbote5199]

many comments entirely miss the point of watching Highway Patrol; hint, it's not about the "story" the episodes are no less than a true slice of American history:Eisenhower years low budgets ensured authenticity; no sets no special effects; we can see what highways, motels, banks, homes, supermarkets etc really used to look like and what about those magnificent cars: Buicks, Chryslers, Mercurys etc ? obviously, in that thrifty age, no producer in his right mind would crash, burn or explode a perfectly good vehicle I certainly wish an automotive expert could take the time to identify the makes and models in each episode some surprisingly sexy young women, yet never even a hint of hanky-panky! it was a touch of genius to get an Oscar winner like Broderick Crawford as star to give the show credibility; details of his personal life are entirely irrelevant in any analysis of cinema art occasionally, you can even spot a young actor or actress who later became famous other cop shows had forgettable second raters like Jack Webb or Roger Smith, and usually had to resort to shoddy, convoluted plots half-hour format and little-known scriptwriters contributed to uncomplicated plots and down-to-earth emotional context

The scene where the killer persuades the woman to let him drive her car and then takes a different route, at high speed, is a reworking of the wonderful moment in The Wind in the Willows when Toad, also on the run and in disguise, is picked up by the very same people whose car he had previously stolen. After sitting quietly for a while, he pleads with the car's owner to let him drive, clambers into the seat and listens with feigned humility to the instructions he is given when he already knows perfectly well how to drive, and takes off at speed. And to make this scene pure perfection, the car is a Chevrolet Impala. Wouldn't Broderick Crawford be perfect for Mister Toad? No make-up required. I shall recommend him for the next movie version as he has clearly not been doing much work lately. What? When?

The Buick gave me some PTSD. A friend of mine bought a 1959 Buick Invicta convertible in Riverside CA. On the way back the left rear wheel came off on the freeway. He bought it from a mechanic no less. He managed to get it pulled over on an off ramp. I had to go get the wheel cover that flew off on the freeway. A tow truck arrived so the cars were parked as such. First in line was the tow truck, then the Buick and then my car. It had just started to rain. At that point an old man in a Monte Carlo came down the off ramp, saw us and jammed on the braked sending him into a spin. Luckily he spun off to the other side of the off ramp or he would have taken all of us out. The man got out quickly to run around to the other side of his car to get the oxygen bottle and mask for his wife in the passenger seat. We got very lucky that night, all of us. As a matter of fact, it is possible that car was the same one from this show. This car was also in California and they were the same model and color. There couldn't have been too many of those around.

You write your friend's was an Invicta. The one in this episode is a LeSabre. LeSabre don't have any script on front fenders and don't have bright rocker panel moldings. If you are sure that your friend's was an Invicta then it cannot be the same car as in this show.

So great to see that Dan was so openly BI....even the HQ acknowledges it 6:57....

[@wandajames6234]

Kills me how they did so many bad things in broad daylight in populated areas and nobody ever saw anything. : )

@MDS Read your post back to yourself, fool.

[@-oiiio-3993]

@MDS Try self editing, fool. You wrote "Back in those days people were walking around glued to their I phones...", rather than stating that people weren't (as such things didn't exist). If anyone is a "MORON" here, it is you.

[@mexicanspec]

Even if somebody saw something, what would they do about it?

[@axiomist1076]

Thats a black Austin Healey 100 between the two guys sitting at the bench in the beginning. When the fat guy bends down after the shooting, theres a red Jaguar 240 to his left and behind him.

[@jacquesgervais1713]

I agree on that Austin Healey 100 (inline-4 of 2660 cc) called 100 as it could reach 100 mph. It could also have been a 100-6 (inline-6 of 2639 cc) or a 3000 (2912 cc inline-6) that arrived in 1959. Some people would have said an MGA (MG for Morris Garage) but it is not. As for the Jaguar I disagree. First, I found the Jaguar as the killer was kneeling, not the fat guy. Second, I see the Jaguar to the left on the screen which is to the right side of the killer facing the camera. Third, I do not know how you saw it red as this is in black and white! Fourth, this is not a Jaguar 240, 240's being those classic 4-door saloons also called Mark 2 (Mk 2 2.4 in 1956 then Mk 2 240 starting in September 1967). I rather see a 2-seater Jaguar 150 roadster. It could have been a 120 or a 140, predecessors to the 150, but I see that surrounding, one-piece, windshield exclusive to the 150. Let me know your comments.

I love these old cars that could seat 5 abreast.

[@michaelfornell4467]

Those 2 old lady's remind me of the sisters on the Andy Griffith show and the Baldwin sisters on the waltons. Lol😅

[@roaenokesyzlak7828]

they always seem to be heading in the direction of the crime.... Just once... i'd like to see them pull a 180 at speed.

[@josephgalarneau7177]

59 Buick, 59 Chevrolet, I owned both of those.

[@othergary]

Gangsters love those convertibles.

[@sooverit5529]

Check out the curious Great Dane at 24:02 at the top of the driveway. McGruff was hoping to take a bite out of crime!

[@DarrellLancaster-l5q]

My favorite part of being born in the 50's is I got to see the earliest cars, cars like these in the 50's and 60's and muscle cars into the 70's. Before they became all cookie cutter.

[@bradleisure8339]

Yep, same here.

And the duly authorized organization wins the day again.

That stocky man ran better then he drove.

If you drive don't drink. If you drink don't drive. Right Mr. Crawford?

[@mr.wizard2974]

Laffin my ass off. I can't help myself.No good deed ever goes unpunished.

[@louisedwards6681]

Oh brother! Now I have seen it all'😱

[@Thex-W.I.T.C.H.-xMaster]

4:10. The Force is strong with this one 😮. Edit. 4:32. All too easy. 😮.

[@jimervin387]

That '59 Buick ragtop has got to be my favourite car of this whole series. And how about some reward money for the nice old ladies in the '59 Chevy?

[@dougwoodley9704]

Jim Ervin and don't forget the great fins on the back

[@briankuebler4655]

My dad had a 59 Buick. As I recall, he hated it. Couldn't keep the wheels in alignment or something. I wish he was still around so I could ask him.

[@carvinlambert6899]

not a nickel....

[@rahkinrah1963]

that crook's day is going downhill fast....and so is his story!

[@TSUTENKAKU007]

$4.53 for the gas and full service must be cheap that time, it's only about a gallon of gas today for that price and self service.

[@Nscalemike56]

Average of .25 cents a gallon or less back then

[@Mercmad]

That manson was one bad dude alright.... never did get straight.

[@Hot80s]

for a moment I thought the ragtop driver was "bosley" from later charlies angels but its not

[@jacquesgervais1713]

Could also have been "Boss J.D. Hogg" from "The Dukes of Hazzard" although Boss Hogg had a white 1970 Cadillac convertible and a white hat. This one has a white 1959 Buick LeSabre and darker hat. Boss Hogg was smoking cigars, not cigarettes.
