Customs Let's see some HAMB-friendly cars from old TV shows and movies.

Was that the "Patridge family" ?

 

Jailhouse Rock...

 

Yes. Congrats to the guy from France....

 

yup

 

Gilligan drove a hot rod taxi designed by George Barris? Who knew? Never heard of that one before.

 

Thanks,im english so its cheating a bit and grew up with this on the telly as a late 60's and 70's child, i prefered the banana splits buggy's ,much more fun.
There was another tv show with a british double decker bus, "the double deckers" i think ??

 

Elvis liked rods too...

 

Fast and the Furious 1955, They filmed around an actual race that was going on at the time.

 

Hmm, The Good Guys, They never showed reruns in the US I guess is why I never saw it because I was only 1 when it went off the air.....Interesting, Thanks for sharing John.

Dang Lebowski, You must of already had your own private collection of photos, are all of them cars that actually played a major part in movies and shows or are some of them only cars that were spotted in old movies and shows?
I could go on endlessly with cars that were only spotted, and cars with hub caps flying off then reappearing in the next scene etc.........spotting that stuff and identifying year make and model of the old cars was kind of a hobby with me and my dad while watching a movie when I was a kid

 

This is from "The Ladies Man" with Jerry Lewis and another '60 Polara with the goofy looking fins....

 

Loved this movie.
Anyone got a shot of the chopped Merc they raced early in this movie?

 

always like this vette

 

^

Here you go.

 

I deleted my picture, yours is much better

 

Had to put this one in. 36 Austin 7, The Mummy returns. Only movie I have ever seen one in. It soon gets wiped out by the bus.

 

Marvin Kaplan describes a bit of his experience during the making of Mad Mad Mad Mad World. Nearly as entertaining as the movie itself...

I still remember where I was when I saw this episode when I was a kid...



Also, a couple years ago I had the good fortune to have airing of Adam-12 line up with my home schedule, so I got to see many reruns. Loved the show as a kid. I found it challenging to enjoy the stories once again because as Reed & McCoy(sp?) were out on patrol in their cruiser I was watching the curbs, parking lots and roadways for cool cars.

 

"Palm Springs Weekend" 1963 with Robert Conrad, Connie Stevens, and Troy Donahue

 

Forget the cars-I dig those groovy striped pants that Sonny is wearing! LOL...
