- The original version of CHiPS! Although sadly, Ponch was always jealous he didn't have the charm or sexy good looks that drove the ladies crazy like Dan Matthews did.
Your announcer is Art Gilmore. 10-4!
I was born in 1958 and when I got older. I use to watch this show and still do. On TV and my phone.
This was one of my favorite series ever. Thanks.
Sadly, Art Gilmore, the narrator for the entire Highway Patrol series passed away this week at age 98. Art's list of accomplishments is way too long for this, but it can truly be said his voice dominated the movie trailer business in the 40's, 50's and 60's. Besides Highway Patrol, Art played commanding officers in Dragnet, Adam-12, and Emergency. I'm told he was highly desired by producers and directors because he showed up prepared and usually got it right in one or two takes.
Art Gilmore is my wife’s uncle. I knew him very well. He was the kindest, most decent man I have known. Art’s wife Grace lived to 106. They don’t raise them like this anymore.
Art went to Washington State College (now WSU) to study elocution. His teacher’s prior student was Edward R. Murrow.
@@thomasryan5736 My experience exactly. My mom knew Art from their days in Tacoma and my dad knew him from KNX radio (he may have introduced them). I remember going to their house in Sherman Oaks to use the pool. Being a wanna-be disc jockey, I was fascinated by his home recording studio. I followed in his footsteps and got a degree in communications from Washington State University, although I didn't end up working in the field. I exchanged Christmas cards with Grace until her passing. Truly great people!
I have seen This show since I was in middle school
thanx for the fun trip down memory lane........covid 19 brought me here.

This is my favorite ever TV police show. It looked real because they used the grubbiest locations ever shot on film, LOL. But it made the show look very realistic. The girl who played the secretary (seen on this clip) later played Beaver's school teacher on Leave It To Beaver (Diane Brewster).
“Remember…..fast driving doesn’t prove who’s right…..only who’s left. See you next week.”
"... OR THE CITIZENS AUXILIARY POLICE!"
This and Seahunt eith Lloyd Brifges were my 2 favorite shows as a kid. I liked both shows theme songs/closing credits music. Robert at 69.
I remember atching this as a child,,love these old series..thanks
Was a young kid when i saw this for the first time!
"Leave Your Blood At The Red Cross,Not On The Highway.".
I like the intro and closing theme!
Highway Patrol was a syndicated series i occasionally tuned in to view in the late 1950's,early 1960's,in the Boston Market,I did very much enjoy the opening Theme,I do remember seeing the late,Art Gilmore on Dragnet,Adam-12,and EMERGENCY,His voice will be sadly missed! May he rest in Peace!
I knew Art. He is my wife’s uncle. My wife loves movies on TV and when a trailer comes on with Art’s voice she goes nuts. Art was a very gracious and humble man. We need more like him today.

LOL!
The local college station here carries an independent network that shows Highway Patrol every morning @ 4:30 followed by Sea Hunt. Up until now, I had only heard about these shows from my parents and siblings now I watch them every morning while getting ready for work. 21-50 out.
It was "21-50, by"
i loved this show and grew up watching the reruns.broderick crawford was like a bull dog on the show.he was always in a rush to catch the bad guys and went he caught them he would usually shove them around a bit.loved some of his lines like:yeah that's right and come on lets go.2 of my favorite films by him are down 3 dark streets and the fastest gun alive,he's really mean in that film.they don't make guys like crawford anymore.
I get up at 4am just to watch the old episodes on at 4:30am :)
Tim Woods ....i can't think of a better reason other than yours for getting up at that time in the morning. Respect!✌🏻
So
Set the timer on the Video Recorder then you will not have to rise at an early hour☺
Great music.
I was born in 1959 and this show (on daytime reruns) was TOTALLY my favorite show when I was a little kid. Even over Superman. ;)
Its funny . . . I never, ever noticed that the cars and all only said "Highway Patrol" and had no state identification whatsoever. I was very surprised when I read that years later. I probably shouldn't have been that surprised though, considering that I couldn't actually read yet when I used to watch the show . . .hehe!
That roadblock was the result of two 1956 Buick patrol cars.
What a classy lady she was, too! I will watch anything that Diane Brewster is in.
I bet Jack Webb was jealous of this show.
I think he was. On Dragnet they changed the names to protect the innocent. They didn't change the names on Highway Patrol, because they were not all that innocent. They were guilty. They were guilty as hell. One more thing. Joe Friday only had to fire his gun twice on Dragnet. Dan Mathews fired or used his gun on almost every show.
@@captwar Dan couldn't chase the bad guys on foot as easily as Joe could!

@displayfireworks1 You never watched "DRAGNET"? In his mind, Joe Friday never met a citizen that wasn't a total dumbass that did not deserve to be slapped around for their stupidity. His contempt for John Q. Public was palpable and apparently a philosophy that has always existed in law enforcement. "THE SWEENEY" was ready to give anyone a good kicking who got in his way. This type of cop is there "To Protect (you from yourself) And To Serve ( Doughnuts).
Fast talking law man"
The proud anthem of the brave men and women that serve the Citizen’s Auxiliary Police. Brigadier General Jay Santos and Major Elvis Newton give you fine folk a good tip of the cap and a nod for a job well done.
I liked the episode where the guy was robbing banks with a bazooka. LMAO
The Fifties when California was white and rural lot of two lane highways and James Dean doing. 120 in a Porsch
What does the Highway Patrol do now? They wait for the speed limit to go from 55 to 40 and try to give you a ticket. Then when you do not sign it they taser you like they did to that one guy in that video “Speeding Ticket Taser”. I wish you were around to see Broderick Crawford. What happened to these cops over the years? It is like regular citizens are criminals.
Larry freakin David brought me here .
10-4!
Twenty one fifty by
Like, this video is hosed because it's a 4:3 image in a 16:9 frame that was then horizontally squeezed (and distorted) into a 4:3 frame again. Way to go, babe!
@dtomlinson219 You ready my mind. I saw his obituary today and was going to comment on it.
10-4! Over and out, Art Gilmore.
I'm glad the Buick of today has no resemblance of the Buicks back then those were definitly tanks with lousy gas mileage but,..gas was cheap, and tires with inner tubes ugh.
Or The Citizens Auxiliary Police
@RRaquello Yes. Diane Brewster (1931-1991) played Miss Canfield in the 1957-58 season, Leave It To Beaver's first season.
The one armed killed Mrs. Kimble in the Fugitive.

Is the narrow screen an attempt to reproduce the conditions that some orginial viewers saw that show under?
Ronald Charles Epstein No. It is due to the ancient program that I used to create this video with many years ago. But we can pretend that it was on a 9 inch screen as people forget how incredibly expensive TV's were back then.
@pantyflash You're so welcome. Thanks to my former partner in crime, Bill Gates, for that. I'm happy to now be using the best software I've ever found from London. Now it's all 4:3 in the highest definition with the color and picture corrected and processed by hand to bring you what I hope is better than you'll ever see anywhere else.
What is the first car in the opening of Highway Patrol? I watch the show for the cars.
I can't figure that out either, but would really like to know. I mainly watch for the cars too, but do enjoy the shows.
1954 Lincoln Capri convertible
Rangers, Troopers
To me it maybe a 55 Packard not sure
The aspect ratio is screwed.
Does anybody know where this scene was shot?
I was wondering too. I'm not positive but it looks a lot like where the 118 Fwy is now in Granada Hills or Northridge...maybe 405N on the way to Santa Clarita. I read that Crawford had a suspended license for drunk driving and therefore had to film driving scenes on private roads. Especially true because if the CHP presence on set as technical advisors! LOL!
@@berlinsaintclair9100 Most of "Highway Patrol" was shot in the northwest San Fernando Valley (Northridge and Chatsworth, mostly) as well as Palmdale and Lancaster.
As for Crawford's well-known drinking, what they did was they would have the "Sergeant" drive "Matthews" around since Crawford wasn't allowed to drive. I don't know about their use of private roads as I don't believe there were many such things back in the late 50s.
Can anyone ID the auto in opening minutes of Highway Patrol
Tail lights look like a 1955 chevy.
@@kenchall6503 I thought that also, but the car seems too small to me to be a chevy.
1954 Lincoln Capri convertible
Speaks soooooo fast
Never actually heard him say it, but we were always expecting Crawford
to up and go "DUHHHHHH!".
How on earth he ever got acting jobs in Hollywood is anyone's guess.
Must've had a cousin who was secretary for the boss and gave REALLY
good head.
Dan Matthews did have the appearance of a tired career cop who had
enough of the job; fallen arches and hemmorhoids included.
He won the Academy Award for his performance in "All The King's Men". So, he had the acting chops.
Looks like he was a life long smoker and drinker
