Hot Rods As seen on TV

If you enjoy Twilight Zone shows, there is on about a guy the pulls a hit and run, that kills a boy and the Ford haunts the guy.



Of course, there is a '46 Ford in it also, you knew I'd find one!


Dragnet, Adam-12, Perry Mason and Peter Gun are excellent for car spotting.

 

Can you guess the movie?

 

It was actually a Sunbeam Alpine doctored up to look like a Tiger.

 

I’m terrible at snagging internet images but here are a few from Perry Mason and other old shows that caught my eye….

Interesting little car….

From Superman….

 

Adam 12. Officer Jim Reed in his Ford racing Officer Ed Wells.

 

North by Northwest

 

Fake headers from a OHV engine.
Count the pipes.

 

Yes, they were SBC headers. I saw the car for sale at Carlisle about 25 years ago.

 

If you think that's deceitful, Revell branded their '62 vintage '29 A pickup as the Happy Days rod and the kit has a banger only and no headers OR the '32 grille shell...
The Fugitive show was always good for some old iron, too

 

Has anyone mentioned "The Untouchables"?

 

Old stock car racing movie

 

Peter Gunn, with Grabowski's T, some wild driving with Norm at the wheel, right at the start. 2 short ads then some action.

 

Another from North by Northwest.

 

Two different wagons were used. This one has the "handyman" style liftgate vs the two piece "wagon" gate.

 

Nope, but I'll touch the unmentionables

 

not to be picky but it is a Peugeot 403 Convertible, no Borgward. But cool anyways

 

When James Garner sinks the 58 Impala in the pool, the face is hard to beat

 

It's a mad mad mad mad mad mad world
and any 3 Stooges episode

 

When I think of movie cars, I always think of Jack Nicholson and the ’35 in Chinatown.

 

Animal house.

 

Route 66

 

56 Nomad, "Outrage" 1973 Movie of the week.

 

The Big Rod episode of Dragnet

 

Ivo and Grabowski "T" from several T.V. shows and films

 

The "Ricky Nelson" roadster...
