New to me favourite TV show. Highway Patrol.

Lots of great Mopars and other makes being used well. The Dodge Coronet CHP cars are a great look on the roads.

Crawford's hard boiled delivery is great. Cars, scenery, and clothing are a nice look back in time.

I watch it as often as I can for many of the reasons stated above. I look a lot at the cars and anytime the '58 Plymouths' appear I wish I still had one. And has anyone noticed that in the inevitable gun shootout at the end the 6 shooters seem to never get reloaded and just keep shooting!

Great cars, Dames and detectives. All crimes solved in an afternoon.

I watched them all the time when I was a kid!(late 50's)
I used to drive daily a 57 post car with the 325 engine, it was a lot of fun!(1984)
Today I own a 56 Savoy post car with the 277 V8,a wopping 160 Horsepower!

The Highway Patrol I saw the Mexican Highway Patrol (Federalis?) had a DeSoto 2 door sedan!

In one Peter Gunn I saw the bad guy was driven around in an Imperial and Gunn had a '59 Sport Fury.

I grew up thinking Broderick Crawford was the biggest bad *** and a Buick Special cop package was the ultimate.

Great cars, Dames and

When was the last time anybody heard someone using the word, Dame?
Yes, when women were dames.

Yeah, the show is a real snapshot of that moment in time. Shoot first and ask questions later was the motto back then! Love all the old Buicks, Mopars and Mercury's in this show.
