"Wish I could pull wheelies like that"

 

No piercings or tattoos! How I miss the good old days!

 

She kinda looks like a Jungle Pam's baby sister. Probably somebody's grandma these days.

Lovely young lady.

Mordecai Brown at His Texaco Service Station in Terre Haute, Indiana Aug,1935
Mordecai “Three Finger” Brown was born in Nyesville in 1876. An injury disfigured his hand, but allowed him to pitch in an unusual way. His 1907 shutout led the Chicago Cubs to a World Series title....

 

Sure wish I coulda been the grandpa if she's gonna be a grandma, OH YEAH !!

 

The Girl form U.N.C.L.E! (Stephine Powers?) As for the car... I believe it was a one-of Italian coach built. There was a short run AMT model of it at one time. Sorry, no other info.

 

I believe its a Bertone design on an Alfa Romeo chassis.

 

Uh guys. Gene Winfield.

Maxwell Smart had a Sunbeam Tiger...

 

Oh yeah! And remember travelling 'cross country? I remember summer, 1970, had a '64 Skylark & going from Michigan to Pennsylvania, looking for America. Near almost every freeway ramp would be a bunch of kids hitchin' a ride. No money for gas, but some of 'em always managed to 'pay their way'. . . To be young in the 60s & early 70s!

 

Thanx for the info. I must have watched a lot of the Get Dumb series. I should have known this! Gary

 

<BIG>What kind of car did Max drive?</BIG>

There were several cars driven by Max during the five years of the series, but only two cars were driven with any regularity.

<TABLE id=table1 border=1 width="100%"><TBODY><TR><TD width="30%">

Max's Sunbeam Tiger​

</TD><TD width="70%">The car Max drove in the first four years of the series was a red 1965 Sunbeam Tiger. Without a doubt, it is the car most associated with Max and can be considered "his car." It appeared in the open of the show's first two seasons, except for the pilot. It's also the car that was used for the AMT model that was sold in the Sixties. More details on the Tiger are given below. There's a lot of mystery surrounding the fate of this car and I'm going to try and clear it up. Don Adams did drive a Sunbeam Tiger as his personal car for many years. However, that car was NOT the car used in the series. Don drove a 1966 Sunbeam that was given to him by the network because of the success of the show. That car is now owned by a private collector. The Sunbeam used in the series was a 1965 Sunbeam and its whereabouts are unknown, though I've heard many, many rumors about where it has ended up. </TD></TR><TR><TD width="30%">

Max's Opel​

</TD><TD width="70%">In season five, Max drives a gold, 1969 Opel GT. He also drove the Opel in the episodes. Interestingly enough, Max's Opel also appeared in the movie "Stripes." This car was used extensively by Max in the 5th season and can be called Max's second car.</TD></TR><TR><TD width="30%">

The Karman Ghia​

</TD><TD width="70%">In the opening credits of the third and fourth seasons, Max drives a blue VW Karman Ghia. However, in those season's episodes, he continued to drive the Sunbeam. The open was probably changed to reflect some type of sponsorship deal. In no episode does he actually drive the Karman Ghia. </TD></TR><TR><TD width="30%">

The Ferrari​

</TD><TD width="70%">In the pilot episode, Max drives a Ferrari 250 GT Cabriolet. The reason for that is that they probably used a stock studio sports car for the pilot. When the show was picked up, they were able to arrange a promotional deal with Sunbeam. Alert fan and car expert Scott M. identified this car for me.</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>​
