Same here! Our family drove from IL to CA back then on a vacation and the motels were so beautifully decorated and comfortable! Loved it and have great memories!
Set locations is another reason to love this show. They guerrilla shot the shows. On location, probably no permits. Just ladies and guys hopping in and out of old American cars. lovely

These shows were magnificent, no profanity, nudity and blood splashed all over the place! Broderick Crawford was the perfect fit for Dan Matthews and his great acting made the shows SPARKLE!!!
I like those late-50's Chryslers. Designed by Virgil Exner, the tailfins were not too big, and the body lines were crisp and nicely rounded. Hemi power, too.
@@xxxxxx-tq4mw I remember having a magazine photo of the 63 Chrysler IMPERIAL on my wall. Very .much a luxury flagship of American automobiles. Also a picture of Studebaker AVANTI another car I obsessed over.
Another great episode and the ladies were stunning. Every show that I watch I think it can't get any better until the next episode! Thanks for loading these on YT. I was too young to watch these when I was young so definitely enjoying them now.
The $3900 asking price on the '56 Imperial was about right (dealer price) as the car was less than a year old and sold new for $5225 (yikes that's more than $54,000 in 2022) The 1956 Lincoln convertible was $4747 new and just 2445 were built. Love these episodes with all kinds of cars and street traffic. Also the sounds of a four engine propeller driven airliner (DC-6, DC-7, Boeing 377 etc) flying overhead while they're at the motel. By the 1960s many DMVs were no longer using engine #'s as ID's as more people were keeping their cars longer and many got engine changes and thus the numbers didn't match.
Helloooo Norma! As much as I would enjoy Norma's company, I think I would rather have that BEAUTIFUL 1956 Imperial 2 door hardtop, 354 cu.in. V8 hemi, push button automatic transmission, air conditioning and full power, oh yeah!(not a sedan as the thieves were driving).
My favorite classic 1956 Chrysler Corporation cars are: 1956 Chrysler New Yorker DeLuxe, V-8, 2 door Newport hardtop with 3 tone paint job, and 1956 Dodge Royal Lancer V-8, 2 door hardtop, also with 3 tone paint job. Red, Black, and White is popular three tone paint job, followed by Blue, Black, and White.
What a pleasure to watch these older shows. 👍🏻 No filthy gratuitous sex scenes. No blood splashed on the walls or references to satan (unless it’s a bad thing) and no reality crap. So much entertainment now is right in the toilet. Good place.
Such a easy show to follow. I'm glad they brought these shows back, I had forgotten all about them. What happen to Broderick's nose, he must of had one to many. 666 isn't a wanted car, it's the devils car.
The most charming moment I had in watching this episode was seeing Dan Matthews (aka, Broderick Crawford) run across that wide boulevard to go after the car thieves in that side street... "Block that alley!"
The older women I knew liked driving them because they felt safe in something big. It's come full circle as lots of modern women are today driving large SUV's.
Darlene Fields and Diana Darrin were beautiful and talented in their careers.. It's amazing how sophisticated auto theft rings were then and how they learn with the times. Before computers, this could easily work. And nice looking ladies still are necessary. And the cops got burned. Matthews would get crap for weeks after this.
Back when you paid cash for a new car, my dad grew up in the 1930's & 1940's. In the 1950's he bought his first new Chevrolet in 1951 & did the rare thing of financing it. In 1957 he bought a Chevrolet Bel Air & paid cash for it. Years later in the 1970's I was looking at my dad's old bank accounts from 1955 1956 & 1957 & he had about 10 grand . He was saving to buy property & build a house in 1958 & built by1962. Back when the working man could get ahead & pay cash. Now financing is all too common.
Fast talkin' Dan was in top form on this one. They could use more guys like him today where they're hell bent on shrinking the shows down to throw more commercials at us. A full cast of Crawfords could take a 30 minute show down to five minutes easy. Not sure we'd know what the heck it was about when it was over, but they'd get their ad time.
I like it how they always get caught on their last job before getting out of state or cooling their heels for awhile. Criminals think they are one step ahead of Mathews, when in reality they are a step behind.
This is the second episode where the bad guy goes "it was almost a perfect plan" of something to that effect like the bad guys do in Scooby Doo "and I would have gotten away with it if it hadn't been for you meddling kids!". Kids always get a bad rap... even for doing good. I found those phrases annoying!
Some of you younger folk may not know how easy the ignitions were to "hot wire" back then. The wiring was easy to grab under the dash. Or you could just replace the key switch in minutes. Leaving the key wasn't all that needed as the hardened ones are now.
It does seem to be "the good old days" when people were seemingly more polite, more neatly dressed, even for a criminal. However, were things really better in "the good old days" ? Please consider what is expressed at Ecclesiastes 7 in the Bible: "Better is the end of a matter than its beginning........Do not say, “Why were the former days better than these?” for it is not out of wisdom that you ask this."(Ecc 7:8, 10) Why would the Bible question that the "former days" as not being something good, when times may have been more enjoyable ? Simply put, because anywhere in time since the rebellion in the garden of Eden some 6,000 years ago, mankind has been "sliding downhill", whereby sin and death has taken down all who are Adam's descendants. Even when times were more seemingly secure, we still age and suffer the deadly effects of sin, or imperfection, so that the grave awaits all of us. Death is like a stalker that constantly follows us around, waiting to take us. Hatred was in the past as in is today, so that people are divided into groups and nationalism rears its ugly head. But in contrast, the future looks bright under a heavenly government called God's Kingdom, a government that Jesus taught his disciples to pray for.(Matt 6:9, 10) This heavenly government will do as stated at Isaiah 25: "O Jehovah, you are my God. I exalt you, I praise your name, for you have done wonderful things, things purposed from ancient times, in faithfulness, in trustworthiness........In this mountain (or by means of God's Kingdom) Jehovah of armies will make for all the peoples a (symbolic) banquet of rich dishes, a banquet of fine wine, of rich dishes filled with marrow, of fine, filtered wine (or perfect setting of peace and security). In this mountain he will do away with the shroud (of sin, that is like clothing we are forced to wear, that causes sickness and death) that is enveloping all the peoples and the covering that is woven over all the nations. He will swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces. The reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth, for Jehovah himself has spoken it."(Isa 25:1, 6-8) So, rather than dreaming about the past that was filled with troubles just as now, we can look to the future when there will be perfect peace, perfect health and perfect security on a paradise earth forever, for "meek" ones who have placed their implicit trust in God, whose personal name is Jehovah.(Ps 37:11, 29; Matt 5:5)
@@timhaley3459 The reason the 1950's are so celebrated & nostalgic is because of the cars of the era. But it's an illusion the world was never perfect at any point in time. There were crooks & law breakers even then & even during prosperous times as the 1950's people took their chances & lived outside the law. Jails were over crowded even then prison movies were around since the 1930's. There's never been a "perfect" society at any time or there would be no need for police to enforce laws & a judicial system or prisons. That hasn't changed & never will. The past is often romanticized because of the passing of time.
@@winggullseagull1230 There was once perfection, where "crooks and law breakers" did not exist, in the garden of Eden, some 6,000 years ago. But with the rebellion right after the creation of the first man and woman, now "crooks and law breakers" came into focus, with Adam, Eve and Satan being the original "crooks and lawbreakers".(Gen 3:1-6) Since the original rebellion, "crooks and law breakers" became the "norm", while those who adhered to "law" were the exceptions. With Adam and Eve as "crooks and law breakers", introducing sin or imperfection into mankind so that we age and eventually die, while those few who would stand by "law", a way was established that would give them the hope of living forever on a paradise earth. And this hope would be centered around a heavenly government called God's Kingdom, in which the "Lord's Prayer" outlines its purpose, saying: "Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified. Let your Kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also on earth."(Matt 6:9, 10) This heavenly government was created to restore the peace to the earth that was lost in the garden of Eden, so that God's "take place, as in heaven (where there is perfect peace and health), also on earth". This is reiterated at Ephesians 1: "This undeserved kindness he caused to abound toward us in all wisdom and understanding by making known to us the sacred secret of his will. It is according to his good pleasure that he himself purposed for an administration at the full limit of the appointed times (or way of administering God's will), to gather all things together in the Christ, the things in the heavens (or God's heavenly Kingdom whereby 144,001 are chosen to serve as "a kingdom and priests" to God) and the things on the earth (or the hope of living on a paradise earth, see Gen 1:28-31; Luke 23:43)." So, perfection that was until the rebellion some 6,000 years ago, will be reestablished once God's Kingdom has fully accomplished its goal of removing everything in opposition to it, death (1 Cor 15:26), political governments (Rev 19:19-21), the religions of the world (Rev 17:16, 17), greedy commerce (Jer 25:29-33; Luke 16:14, 15), etc.(see Matt 12:30)
What I want to know is why didn't the camera and sound crew report the crooks to the police? It would have saved so much running around. Unless they were in on it too.
Weird that all the Highway Patrol vehicles in this show are two door sedans. Maybe because the budget for these episodes was pretty low. Funny to see the cops having to push the seats forward so that the perps could get in the back. Broderick seemed in pretty good shape in this episode. Too bad that alcoholism would eventually take its toll.
Back in those days, Highway Patrol cars were 2 door. Less expensive and less weight. If they had to haul a perp (I guess kinda rare), then, that's what the back seat was for.

@emma lane you ladies bitch about everything. i never had any trouble parallel parking with no power steering in 3 of my old cars. all you do is turn the wheel. simple now ain't it ?
@@roadmaster720 When young, my father let me park his car into the garage located at the back of our house. A turnaround and backing up was required. No power steering on his 1951, 1953, 1955, 1957, 1959 Ford Sunliners and on his 1961 Chrysler Newport convertible. Dad was always telling me: "Jacques, so much easier to turn the steering wheel when car is slightly in motion". Not only I think, I know so, I experienced it a long time ago. Try it.
3:15 You bought the car in Woodstock? Was it abandoned on the New York State Throughway? Besides which, you should never, ever buy a car with a license plate of 666. 8:03 Why wouldn't the car be listed on the hot sheet? You're the Highway Patrol, responsible for the entire state. 8:24 You can tell he's a crook. He got out on and got back in on the driver's side. Hasn't he ever seen this show? 9:00 Swimming pool? Air conditioning? What luxury! 12:40 That trunk is bigger than my car.
I like how the man tells the woman to put the ad in the paper to read: “A 1956 Model Sedan for $3,900.00”, like whose going to pay that much for a car without knowing what kind of make it was. But they were not allowed to use the names of the makes of the cars on this show for some reason. A new 2 door Imperial incidentally cost about $4,600.00 in 1956, whereas a 1956 Lincoln Premier Convertible that the man paid $4,000.00 for retailed new for right around $4,300.00. So he didn’t get much of a bargain to begin with. I’d wager a bet that the 1956 2 door Mercury that the car thief is driving is in actuality one of the Highway Patrol cars sans its front door sticker; and to be sure, in the previous episode that I saw the ’56 Mercury that Dan Mathews was driving had a license plate number of KHE 456, whereas the unmarked one on this episode is KHE 457. So maybe there were two of them that they used on the show. And with that said: over and out 10-4.
All those prices sound high to me. My father bought a brand new 1961 Plymouth Belvedere for something like $1800 or maybe it was a bit more. He bought a brand new 1968 Chrysler Imperial for about $4800.
@@jacquesgervais1713 That's because I looked up the prices on the Classic Cars Database Specifications. Hardly anyone though refers to that car as just an Imperial anymore than anyone refers to the 1956 Continental just as a Continental although that is the correct term for that car. It is commonly called a Lincoln Continental which it did eventually become. Take Care and thanks for the reply.
@@jacquesgervais1713 Who knows which source is correct, maybe yours was for the factory suggested retail price as opposed to the dealer's final selling price. One thing for sure though is that those cars now sell for a lot more in mint condition now than they did then as a 1956 Lincoln Premiere convertible will have an asking price of at least $80,000.00. Its a great looking car but too big for my liking. I personally like the 1952-1953 Lincoln models the best from that era.
14:14 Sounds of an airplane flying overhead begin. 10 seconds later, the airplane flies directly over the scene being filmed, as evidenced of the plane's shadow going by as Mathews walks across the parking lot.
10:22 Frank's Nurseries and Flowers, located at 12424 Wilshire Boulevard in West Los Angeles. Years later, this structure was demolished and replaced with a high-rise office building.
Regular gasoline was 10 cents per gallon, houses and new cars were cheap, many people would upgrade and buy a new car every year. Democrats were semi-sane back then also.
average paycheck for middle class in the mid fifties was $70.00 US per week.houses and cars were expensive then in 1956 as now in 2019. multiply 1956 paycheck and prices by 8 for inflation. no better off now either here in 2019.

The Chrysler coupe 1956 is a gem, I love it !
Thanks, good episode, once again.
It's a beautiful Imperial. Less than 2100 were built and they sold for over $5200 new (or about $56,000 today)

Even when times were more seemingly secure, we still age and suffer the deadly effects of sin, or imperfection, so that the grave awaits all of us. Death is like a stalker that constantly follows us around, waiting to take us. Hatred was in the past as in is today, so that people are divided into groups and nationalism rears its ugly head.
But in contrast, the future looks bright under a heavenly government called God's Kingdom, a government that Jesus taught his disciples to pray for.(Matt 6:9, 10) This heavenly government will do as stated at Isaiah 25: "O Jehovah, you are my God. I exalt you, I praise your name, for you have done wonderful things, things purposed from ancient times, in faithfulness, in trustworthiness........In this mountain (or by means of God's Kingdom) Jehovah of armies will make for all the peoples a (symbolic) banquet of rich dishes, a banquet of fine wine, of rich dishes filled with marrow, of fine, filtered wine (or perfect setting of peace and security). In this mountain he will do away with the shroud (of sin, that is like clothing we are forced to wear, that causes sickness and death) that is enveloping all the peoples and the covering that is woven over all the nations. He will swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces. The reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth, for Jehovah himself has spoken it."(Isa 25:1, 6-8)
So, rather than dreaming about the past that was filled with troubles just as now, we can look to the future when there will be perfect peace, perfect health and perfect security on a paradise earth forever, for "meek" ones who have placed their implicit trust in God, whose personal name is Jehovah.(Ps 37:11, 29; Matt 5:5)
1950's were golden!
@@timhaley3459 The reason the 1950's are so celebrated & nostalgic is because of the cars of the era. But it's an illusion the world was never perfect at any point in time.
There were crooks & law breakers even then & even during prosperous times as the 1950's people took their chances & lived outside the law. Jails were over crowded even then prison movies were around since the 1930's.
There's never been a "perfect" society at any time or there would be no need for police to enforce laws & a judicial system or prisons. That hasn't changed & never will. The past is often romanticized because of the passing of time.
@@winggullseagull1230
There was once perfection, where "crooks and law breakers" did not exist, in the garden of Eden, some 6,000 years ago. But with the rebellion right after the creation of the first man and woman, now "crooks and law breakers" came into focus, with Adam, Eve and Satan being the original "crooks and lawbreakers".(Gen 3:1-6)
Since the original rebellion, "crooks and law breakers" became the "norm", while those who adhered to "law" were the exceptions. With Adam and Eve as "crooks and law breakers", introducing sin or imperfection into mankind so that we age and eventually die, while those few who would stand by "law", a way was established that would give them the hope of living forever on a paradise earth.
And this hope would be centered around a heavenly government called God's Kingdom, in which the "Lord's Prayer" outlines its purpose, saying: "Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified. Let your Kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also on earth."(Matt 6:9, 10)
This heavenly government was created to restore the peace to the earth that was lost in the garden of Eden, so that God's "take place, as in heaven (where there is perfect peace and health), also on earth". This is reiterated at Ephesians 1: "This undeserved kindness he caused to abound toward us in all wisdom and understanding by making known to us the sacred secret of his will. It is according to his good pleasure that he himself purposed for an administration at the full limit of the appointed times (or way of administering God's will), to gather all things together in the Christ, the things in the heavens (or God's heavenly Kingdom whereby 144,001 are chosen to serve as "a kingdom and priests" to God) and the things on the earth (or the hope of living on a paradise earth, see Gen 1:28-31; Luke 23:43)."
So, perfection that was until the rebellion some 6,000 years ago, will be reestablished once God's Kingdom has fully accomplished its goal of removing everything in opposition to it, death (1 Cor 15:26), political governments (Rev 19:19-21), the religions of the world (Rev 17:16, 17), greedy commerce (Jer 25:29-33; Luke 16:14, 15), etc.(see Matt 12:30)
What I want to know is why didn't the camera and sound crew report the crooks to the police? It would have saved so much running around. Unless they were in on it too.
24:54 Strip search em,Mathews!
24:34 is funnier, Broderick running in his ballerina slippers
Weird that all the Highway Patrol vehicles in this show are two door sedans. Maybe because the budget for these episodes was pretty low. Funny to see the cops having to push the seats forward so that the perps could get in the back. Broderick seemed in pretty good shape in this episode. Too bad that alcoholism would eventually take its toll.
I read he lived another 30 years after this series ended. Must have been drinking high test stuff.
He was born in 1911 and died in 1986, lived to 74
Back in those days, Highway Patrol cars were 2 door. Less expensive and less weight. If they had to haul a perp (I guess kinda rare), then, that's what the back seat was for.
@@chrismc410 Dan was great in the episode of CHIPS when Eric Estrada and the the handsome blond guy pulled him over when he was driving an obnoxious 1977 Ford LTD. They even referred "2150 BYE" during the pullover.
Had to smile at the final scene. There was good ol' Dan leading his prisoners to the HP car, and carrying a ladies handbag! He did look sweet.
DIANA DARRIN ( NORMA ) REMAINS ALIVE TO THIS DATE IN 2021 WHILE DARLENE FIELDS APPARENTLY DEPARTED THE SCENE ON 26 APRIL 1976, BOTH BEING RATHER POPULAR GLAMOR GIRLS DURING THEIR PERFORMING CAREERS ...

TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!! Diana is 86 this year!!!!! 2019! IMDb does not list a DOB on Darlene.
You may want to check again on Darlene Fields, I found on IMB where she passed away in 1976 at age 49.
@@rickmiller1429- THANK YOU - HAVE MADE THE CHANGE AND ADDED A NEW COMMENT.
@@rickmiller1429 I wonder why "they" killed her?
@@thomasjeffersomii838 I've noticed on a number of celebraties a source will list them as deceased. One in particular was Johnny Crawford from the Rifleman, supposedly he died young and he acrually passed away this past April (2021). I think it has to do with "click bait".
Licence plate number 666! How absolutely evil. :)
I can't figure out why the producer chose this number from any other number.
Matthews was almost sure that he nabbed the Antichrist in the 666 car!
don't think 666 meant anything back in '56
Satanic Hollywood. The symbolism is everywhere.
Your statement is complete nonsense . The equilateral triangle is THE 6 figure in nature and the whole universe for that matter. Honeycombs are based on it as are tree root growths along with gazillion other phenominae.
Having a crippled brainwashed mind is tolerable until it excretes statements that make no sense whatsoever.
Just because other people are nuts does not mean you must follow the crowd.
Those cars are the size of aircraft carriers
We used to call them "the battlestar galactica" or the starship enterprise"
That is why they were called land yachts.

You mind if we.... park?
It's a great idea. I'd love to park.
Huh...
Marty I'm almost 18 years old. It's not like I've never parked before...
Judging from the license plate,I’d say the devil made them do it.😈

The stole it from the Devil!
I was thinking the same….back then that number set didn’t register yet.

Demon car might be named Christine,
thank goodness for "power steering" I remember driving cars that had no power steering. It was almost impossible to parallel park...LOL
@emma lane you ladies bitch about everything. i never had any trouble parallel parking with no power steering in 3 of my old cars. all you do is turn the wheel. simple now ain't it ?
@@roadmaster720 The trick was to move the car (frontward and/or backward) very slowly and not stay still.
@@jacquesgervais1713 ya think ?
@@roadmaster720 When young, my father let me park his car into the garage located at the back of our house. A turnaround and backing up was required. No power steering on his 1951, 1953, 1955, 1957, 1959 Ford Sunliners and on his 1961 Chrysler Newport convertible. Dad was always telling me: "Jacques, so much easier to turn the steering wheel when car is slightly in motion". Not only I think, I know so, I experienced it a long time ago. Try it.

3:15 You bought the car in Woodstock? Was it abandoned on the New York State Throughway? Besides which, you should never, ever buy a car with a license plate of 666.
8:03 Why wouldn't the car be listed on the hot sheet? You're the Highway Patrol, responsible for the entire state.
8:24 You can tell he's a crook. He got out on and got back in on the driver's side. Hasn't he ever seen this show?
9:00 Swimming pool? Air conditioning? What luxury!
12:40 That trunk is bigger than my car.
I like how the man tells the woman to put the ad in the paper to read: “A 1956 Model Sedan for $3,900.00”, like whose going to pay that much for a car without knowing what kind of make it was. But they were not allowed to use the names of the makes of the cars on this show for some reason. A new 2 door Imperial incidentally cost about $4,600.00 in 1956, whereas a 1956 Lincoln Premier Convertible that the man paid $4,000.00 for retailed new for right around $4,300.00. So he didn’t get much of a bargain to begin with. I’d wager a bet that the 1956 2 door Mercury that the car thief is driving is in actuality one of the Highway Patrol cars sans its front door sticker; and to be sure, in the previous episode that I saw the ’56 Mercury that Dan Mathews was driving had a license plate number of KHE 456, whereas the unmarked one on this episode is KHE 457. So maybe there were two of them that they used on the show. And with that said: over and out 10-4.
All those prices sound high to me. My father bought a brand new 1961 Plymouth Belvedere for something like $1800 or maybe it was a bit more. He bought a brand new 1968 Chrysler Imperial for about $4800.
You know your cars. This is a 1956 Imperial. Chrysler and Imperial were separate makes since 1955.
@@jacquesgervais1713 That's because I looked up the prices on the Classic Cars Database Specifications. Hardly anyone though refers to that car as just an Imperial anymore than anyone refers to the 1956 Continental just as a Continental although that is the correct term for that car. It is commonly called a Lincoln Continental which it did eventually become. Take Care and thanks for the reply.
My reference books indicate $5094 for that 1956 Imperial Southampton Hardtop Coupe and $4747 for that 1956 Lincoln Premiere convertible.
@@jacquesgervais1713 Who knows which source is correct, maybe yours was for the factory suggested retail price as opposed to the dealer's final selling price. One thing for sure though is that those cars now sell for a lot more in mint condition now than they did then as a 1956 Lincoln Premiere convertible will have an asking price of at least $80,000.00. Its a great looking car but too big for my liking. I personally like the 1952-1953 Lincoln models the best from that era.
That blonde looks Glenda Slagg out of Private Eye magazine...

Mathews talked even faster in this episode, can’t think what the hurry was, and did you see that mark on his nose?.
It figures that a license plate with the number 666 on it would be on a hot red convertible!
Very well done episode.

Regular gasoline was 10 cents per gallon, houses and new cars were cheap, many people
would upgrade and buy a new car every year. Democrats were semi-sane back then also.
Back then you could vote Republican or Democrat. Now it's either fascist or socialist. I wish the pendulum would swing back to the center again.
average paycheck for middle class in the mid fifties was $70.00 US per week.houses and cars were expensive then in 1956 as now in 2019. multiply 1956 paycheck and prices by 8 for inflation. no better off now either here in 2019.
