+telephotousa I'm sure that was in fact a real wrecked '55 TBird.

The 'Bird had a short life, no more than a year. And was that a dual carburetor setup on there??
+Ockie Ditchbank Mom had a '56 and now my brother owns it so I pretty much know the details or what things look like. Gosh that car in the show sure had a short life !!
No different then today, Some cars stick around for decades some are wreaked just after purchase. A-hole drivers then A-hole drivers today. Now we have cell phone as an added distraction.
Yes it didn't have a very long life. You can see from the upholstery and the engine in that it's the real thing and not a mockup. Looks like the triple carb setup was too much power for someone !

Absolutely love these shows. Broderick Crawford was such a great actor. This was one of the few episodes that didn't have at least one beautiful dame in the cast. I'm glad that didn't happen too often. :)
America was its pick in the 50s all the way to the 70s when they landed the first man on the moon. There were also a few tragedies in between such as the assasination of JFK, Robert (Bob) Kennedy & Martin Luther King Jr. We had a black & white television growing up, during the " baby boomer" days, so this takes me down memory lane. We appreciate your effort showing this.
Love this series. The cruisers all have VHF antennas. The unmarked cars don't, but they still used radios in them. I remember as a kid being able to spot the unmarked cars in our town by the VHF antennas. They were hard to conceal.

+David Maslow Yeah, I just turned 60 last week so I can remember the 50's shows- still then like now the movies were 'made-up' , now everyone is pushing the limits over and over
I can see how that 55 T bird got wrecked. Someone souped up the 312 Y block V8 with triple carbs ,probably an Isky cam ,Kong igntion and straight through mufflers . A Y block can rev to 6000 RPM in mild from so the car probably ran out of brakes and whacked a power pole . There were at least 6 different companies making the triple carb manifolds for the y block in the 50's and early 60's . I had one, a Fenton set up which seemed to make more noise than actual power ...A good freind has a Ford Sunliner like Virgil is driving ,all original in punk and white.
i will be 77 yrs. of age and hv owned many of the cars seen in this series, during my younger years when you could buy these cars for 125 to 250 dollars ! Take a look at the 55 T bird convertible and the 55 Ford Sun liner convertible..These cars go for 75 K today at Mecum auctions and you could buy them for peanuts when I was a 17 year old kid..db
I worked as a Reserve Cop, and worked with Parole/Probations. I've been working DoD Security and as a Federal Investigator throughout the late 80's and early 90's. The #1 mistake people make is talking to Cops or other Investigators. Even if you are as innocent as a newborn baby you should "Lawyer Up" and not say a word. I've known in my heart of hearts that a guy was guilty as hell but if he doesn't say a SINGLE WORD it is very hard to convict a person unless you have it on video. Even so-called "eye witnesses" break down quite rapidly when a good Defense Attorney gets them to testify. Don't talk to Detectives, even if totally innocent. NO good can come of it PERIOD.

Whoever was driving that wrecked T bird got very killed. The whole drivers side was crushed as must have been the driver. The ending of this ep. got rushed. They just pulled some magic and guessed the solution. Bad ending for sure.
Ive noticed in these HP shows that rarely mention the make and model of a vehicle. Just year and something like color, sedan, two door, four door, convertible, etc.
The problem with that theory is that the US, which is awash in guns, has by far the highest percentage of gun violence in the civilized world. More guns and few regulations, more gun violence. Fewer guns and more regulations, less gun violence. It's not that hard to figure out.
@@kenbob1071 Most 'gun violence' occurs in the most regulated cities and states. And years ago, guns were everywhere; even high school kids at schools had gun racks on their cars. No, the problem today is not guns but selfishness and hatred gone rampant from lactk of moral teaching and civics in school. Now all they care about is teaching divisiveness via CRT and gender garbage
If it sounds familiar: buying a totalled heap from the wrecking yard; then stealing an identical "twin" vehicle & switching out all its serial numbered parts. It is the exact plot line of Toby Haliki's l974 motion picture "GONE IN 6o SECONDS." Clearly the expert car theft technique dates back at least to the l95o's.
Anger and greed got him killed. Could have just plain left and go back East and not carry the wrong doing with him. No, he had to get greedy and paid for it with his life.
The wrecked '55 T-Bird was no mock up. I've seen enough in my lifetime to know it was real. It sure didn't have a very long life, maybe a year (looks like it was in a rollover) I'm wondering how or if the real life driver survived the accident (often the steering column is what killed many victims) The serial number plate is actually on the left door pillar. The plate they took was the data plate. Looks like someone had more power than they bargained for after putting the triple carb manifold on it !! Nice clean '55 Ford F250 truck there. Most of them I've seen were very beat up.
@freethoughtmusic A guy I went to school with for a while drove a tow truck too but after hauling away what was left of fatal wrecks for a few months, he couldn't handle it anymore so he later got a job with the city in the street dept which he was there for 35 years.
Later episodes you do not see Crawford driving on a public street as he had lost his license due to DWI. He could still drive on private property like a parking lot or a private road in the country.
I used to drive classic cars back from the southern U.S. from the late 70s to the mid 80s. Yes, $800 in 1957 was a Ton of dough for a wreck. Don't care what it was/is. I believe that is a plot device for this episode.......Thats like three times what it would have cost back then. $250 at the very Most ,!!! 9:44
Every episode Dan is involved in a “officer involved shooting”. Technically, he should be on paid administrative leave his entire career. If I was an LEO in those days, I’d carry a S&W Model 27 .357 magnum even as a plainclothesman.

Nice clean '55 Ford F250 truck there. Most of them I've seen were very beat up.
@freethoughtmusic A guy I went to school with for a while drove a tow truck too but after hauling away what was left of fatal wrecks for a few months, he couldn't handle it anymore so he later got a job with the city in the street dept which he was there for 35 years.
three people were killed in it. they ejected into he front of a truck.

Later episodes you do not see Crawford driving on a public street as he had lost his license due to DWI. He could still drive on private property like a parking lot or a private road in the country.
The "brains" of the operation immediately incriminates himself when he is shown the cowboy hat...lol.
16:42 Charlie: "I don't care if it does mean taking a chance!"
18:31 Charlie: "I don't like it I tell ya. Why take chances?"
"Triple Deuce" '55 T-Bird. Wow.
Egads! Those giant land yachts had such skinny tires!
Never mind, they were built for straight lines, not corners. Shocks full of Jello-o, too.
Rhis is the first time ive seen a 55 Chevy on Highway Patrol.
....and the Citizen Auxiliary Police! (Jay Santos)
I believe that car brand new was like $ 2750 Loaded........!
I HAVE ALREADY SEEN THIS ONE
It ISN'T the CAR 🚗 that KILLS, IT'S the DRIVER! #mgmlion #roar
I used to drive classic cars back from the southern U.S. from the late 70s to the mid 80s. Yes, $800 in 1957 was a Ton of dough for a wreck. Don't care what it was/is. I believe that is a plot device for this episode.......Thats like three times what it would have cost back then. $250 at the very Most ,!!! 9:44
I find it strange... when they talk about cars they never mention the make or model.
I think they had about 45 minutes of script. Condensed to 25 minutes. They managed to tell the story but left some loose ends.
cop was a young pernell roberts.
Every episode Dan is involved in a “officer involved shooting”. Technically, he should be on paid administrative leave his entire career. If I was an LEO in those days, I’d carry a S&W Model 27 .357 magnum even as a plainclothesman.
"Next weeks episode is a very unusual one " . . but then they all are .. . Aren't they ?
thank you. short & sweet they are. beautiful women & no gratuitous violence
That was a cool looking 55 Chevy. Wasn't it called a 250? The cheep version.
210
wait...what's that tri-power doing under the hood of the wreck?
Interesting.
When Dan makes a circle 🔵 🔴 on his map the crooks are dune
those were the days. When even guys named Leroy were white.
Cool
Why leave the wrecked car sitting there for the cops to find and discover the vin plate is missing?
$800 for a wreck ? new one was prob only $2200
On phone call dan said “what”, not “what’s that?”
Old School Rules
Anyone who knows a man knows what kind of hat he wears
@18:26 That be a real nice 55' Chevy, real niceeeeeee ee Ha!!! :P] .v ..
It was the budget model. 🤦♂️🤦♂️
@@sludge8506 It would still be nice to have one today even if it was a low end model back then.
@@kingforaday8725 True!! 👍👍👍
They don't make actor's like Crawford anymore
Actors with multiple DUIs??
