@@brucebaron1212 I believe that's what he meant since they were the show's main sponsor for several years, whether or not a particular episode featured the car within the episode or not. On the "outdoors" ones, absolutely. In background shots, older Fords were there too. This applied to Chevrolet and Bewitched also, though outdoor scene episodes of the cast interacting/driving them was very rare.
Back in those days it was Pickup Trucks, Sedans, Convertibles, Station Wagons. We didn't have SUVS, Hummers, or those raised Monster Pickup Trucks. Then of course there was no A/C in vehicles back then.
One that I didn't see on the video was Deirdre (George's sister) driving her silver/red interior 1962 or '63 Ford Thunderbird Sports Roadster. It was beautiful!
The funny part was that the shows back then would have a note in the credits stating that the cars were provided by this manufacturer or that. As if you'd be watching something like Family Affair and just assume that everyone in NYC drove a Pontiac.
I thought it was funny how a maid can afford a brand new top of the line 63 galaxy convertible … it was really Mr Bees😂 your research on these cars is spot on
Wow! This is one of the most captivating automotive time capsules I have ever discovered! The Andy Griffith Show featured a lot new and recent Ford cars, but Hazel showed them actually driving, turning and being used, rather than just looking pretty in the background, like most shows did. Mr. B's Rangoon Red 1963 Ford Galaxie 500 convertible is actually an XL. The '63 Futura 2-Door Sedan with vinyl roof is a prototype for the forthcoming 63 1/2 Falcon 2-Door Hardtops. That red '64 XL convertible, Calif. lic. # GZW 571, also appeared in a corporate catalog introducing all the new '64 Ford, Lincoln, Mercury and Truck products. GZW 571 was a1963 1//2 Falcon Futura hardtop assigned to the ad agency responsible for photographing the new cars. Photographed in Southern California and published in 1963, the agency used the GZW 571 plates on every car they photographed. Thanks for putting this compendium together! I hope you will update it with the many outstanding cuts you haven't found yet!
I got familiar with this show by mid day cable channel reruns when i was home from school sick ( thalassemia), it was a good show. I remember watching the movie," a time to love, a time to die" and being shocked Don Defore played a German soldier in it!
I remember when I was 8 years old, The FBI show. I don't remember if Ford sponsored the show but every single automobile on the show was a Ford product.
I can believe it. In a lesser known TV/auto connection fact, Lucille Ball helped save Pontiac (which few know today was on the GM chopping block in the mid-50s) with the '55 being heavily featured as the car they drove from NY to CA. in several episodes during the '54-'55 season. It sold very well, and the division's best years were still ahead of them for the next 20 years.
Some great shots of the Universal Studios backlots and PCH in Malibu. I watched early reruns of this show a bit as a youngster - I remember Hazel as independent and could throw a baseball but funny she didn’t even want to marry - interesting! Also she was a “car girl” getting those cool old Fords!!
I used to watch "Hazel" so I could see the new Fords (and the Mustang made its debut in the episode "Let's Get Away from It All," which aired on Thursday, April 17, 1964--the day the Mustang made its public debut!)...occasionally, Hazel, Mr. B., Missy, Rosie, etc. also appeared in "integrated commercials" at the end of the episode ❤
I use to work in the twin towers in century city, calif in the late 70's. Ford movie department used to store the cars used in tv and movies in the parking garage underneath the twin towers. I use to count the number of cars each night. Usually anywhere from 30-50 cars were parked there together and we would sent a count to them for parking fees I believe once a month?
From $6K to $73K that's the minimum range of profit return every week I thinks it's not a bad one for me, now I have enough to pay bills and take care of my family.
VENTURING into the trading world without the help of a profesionals, trading and expecting profit is like turning water into wine you would need a miracle.
GOOD CONTENT !!! Very engaging right from the beginning These are tough and frankly I appreciate how you discuss global finances in such a delicate way. Business and investment
Experted Ann Marie strunk was my hope during the 'bear summer' last year. I did so many mistakes but also learned so much from it, and of course from Maria strunk.
Just sold a property in Alaska and I'm thinking to put the cash in stocks, I know everyone is saying it's ripe but Is this a time to buy stocks? How long until a full recovery? How are other people in the same market raking in over $450k gains within months, I'm really just confused at this point.
Don DeFore had a lot of power in Hollywood back then. He was associated with Walt Disney in that he owned a restaurant inside Disneyland. He also hosted the Beatles at his home in Beverly Hills right before they appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show, their US debut.
The title card / beginning of the show was always a blatant ad for sponsor Ford. Loved when they got a Mustang- it’s easy to see why everyone wanted the pony car.
Great cars! I guess I'll have to watch some reruns--with the sound muted. Shirley Booth drove me nuts! Her mouth ran more than a dieseling 6 cylinder Chevrolet!😆
I loved the Hazel show and had a crush on Mrs B, or I really should say Whitney Blake. I was always noticing the cars. During the years, Hazel was on my dad owned a 1960 Ford Falcon and a 1963 Ford Galaxie. Later, I bought a 1963 Ford Falcon Futura convertible.
Not a bad program ….it’s still on today what did Hazel actually do ? 😊 Back in the 1960’s if you had money you’d buy a new car every year . Thanks Fusion Kidd !
In the scene where Mr. B and Hazel get in the station wagon to go buy a TV set, the driveway and garage actually belonged to the Bewitched house next door, which hadn't been built yet! The Bewitched house was built a little later in 1962 and attached onto that existing garage. If you look, there's quite a distance between the garage and the Baxter's house. After the bewitched house was built, the Baxter's got a new garage built right up against the side of their house.
By the 1965-66 season, Hazel was sponsored alternately by Philip Morris (Parliament cigarettes, Clark Gum) and Procter and Gamble (Safeguard soap, Crest toothpaste). Ford's sponsorship ended with the 1964-65 season (and Bristol-Myers was the alternate sponsor that last season)
Really! It was lavender with red leather interior! I first saw it the 1980's when Hazel was running in the afternoons on one of the cable channels so it was 20-25 years old then. Best of all, it was shot in color! I had never seen such a T-Bird like that before.
Since Ford was obviously the car 'supplier' and incorporated sponsor of "Hazel", I was surprised to see the 1964 Buick Skylark at the 8:40 mark, and a '59 Plymouth at he 9:19 mark. Probably to please some GM and Mopar fans, and/or disguise the fact (at least a little) there were so many Fords in the out and about episodes. Really beautiful cars, even the basic 4-door sedans back then.
Ford had dropped its sponsorship in the last season, but they still provided the Baxters with new Ford convertibles. I guess they relaxed on other makes appearing, but the Model T, 64 Buick, 59 Plymouth, and 55 Rolls Royce were not new cars being promoted at the time so they probably just came from wherever.
@@retrounderground1 This is interesting to learn. Ford was 'unofficially' advertising still by providing the new convertibles, which the audience already had a strong association of Hazel with anyway, regardless of non-Ford auto appearances.
7:35 I hate to be difficult but.........Hazel's key would not have fit in the wrong 'bird but then we wouldn't have a story would we? BTW Damn, Ford made some pretty full size cars. I'm sure they were all 390 cars, I love those big block full size behemoths. BTW 2 good on fusion kidd for not falling in the 1964 1/2 Mustang trap. You hear a lotta talk about the 1st Mustang being a '64 1/2 when in fact all Mustangs were sold and titled as '65's. Although it's very cool when you find a 260 'stang. 9:30 is that county agent Hank Kimball? 9:53 I believe that to be a '57 or '58 Chrysler.
Looked like a 59 Mercury to me. Flatter hood than a Chrysler. I do remember the Mustang coming out, and it was marketed as a 64 1/2. Ford did this the previous year as well, marketing the new sport roof Galaxie introduced mid-year as a 63 1/2. At the World's Fair in 1964 I sat in the driver seat of a red Mustang convertible on the pavillion's ride. That was the highlight of my day there!
I was hoping to see the early episode where the Baxters gave Hazel a new Falcon to save her travelling to her work on an unreliable bus system. To buy a new Falcon here in Australia you had to be above average on the income scale.
Lots of well-off people, no Mercurys let alone Lincoln Continentals. The product-placement contract must've been with Ford Division rather than Fomoco as a whole.
If you can show opening of show.credits. young Bobby has a 1965 Ford Mustang gas junior.. this was a promotional mini child’s car that Ford dealers sold for $300.. they are rare now and in auto museums…
Between the Baxters and their maid always driving somewhere in a brand-new Ford (not to mention the Ford commercials the cast was always appearing in), this had to be biggest TV ad in Ford history! 😄
Nope, the video states it correctly. The Baxter's Thunderbird is a 64, and the one Hazel mistakenly places the golf clubs in is a 65. Both in lovely Brittany Blue Metallic.
Rosie was driving the Falcon Sports Futura, which offered the vinyl top as far back as the mid-year 1962 introduction of that model as one of "The Lively Ones"
@@tigerphid9677 they also subsidized part of the expense of that show being shot in color which most programs at the time where still,in black and white
@@renesagahon4477 I've read that NBC was promoting color TV sets as well, and all of them were RCA brand which owned NBC at the time. The episode with the TV sets was the only first season episode of Hazel that was shot in color, way back in 1961. Hazel went full color in the second season starting in 1962. It and Bonanza were just about the first color TV shows and both on NBC.
@@retrounderground1 yes that’s true Walt Disney and perry como with a few special programming were shot in color. Lucy show on CBS. Was shot in color in 1963 but broadcast in black and white …she knew it was only a matter of time all programs would be in color and she had the money and clout to do it plus color sets at the time were VERY expensive and few people had them
The title card / beginning of this show was always a blatant advertisement for sponsor Ford (never Mercurys or Lincolns). I loved when the show got a Mustang- I can see why everyone wanted that pony car.
Steve Douglas and Mister B got a new car every 4 months on their shows....the family car stayed a Ford Country Squire though it must have been traded annually. The boys on Route66, broke drifters, always seemed to get the latest Corvette every year. Darren also traded on cars often, unless Samantha just twitched him new ones
Bonanza ran all Chevy ads too. I still remember seeing the 68 Chevy for the first time, on an ad, watching Bonanza. Saw the 68 Chevelle SS396 the same way. Probably the same night. On Hazel, the 63 XL ragtop was my favorite.
Except the last year, 1965-1966 when the series moved to CBS from the Ford spot on NBC Thursday nights . I am sure that Barry I Grauman would know the sponsors on CBS Monday nights .
No different than Chevrolet sponsoring "Bewitched" for five seasons. (Interestingly, the exteriors for "Hazel" and "Bewitched" were next door to each other on the old Columbia Pictures set--and in the 1963-64 season, you could see the "Bewitched" house next door as Hazel pulled Mr. B's '64 Galaxie convertible out of the driveway!)

The Fords of 'Hazel'. Another Ford Country show and I love `em.
Man, that was some hell of a product placement for Ford being on that show!! Good for them!
Silver Blue 64 and 65 T Birds my favorite. Great Video
Thanks for the old tines Kidd, for it reminds of years that have past. For those cars did not even go past 5K in those days.
Very enjoyable video,,,Thank you I was born the year Hazel came out and it was on until I entered Kindergarten. I love the reruns..

Oh my goodness. Perfect timing, either intentional or by accident. That was the month before I turned 7, and was in the first grade.
The car I remember the most from hazel was Mr, B's 59 Chrysler. That always stood out because the first car I owned was a 59 Chrysler New Yorker.
3:30 Hazel shifted the red Galaxie from reverse into drive too soon and too hard.
"Built Ford tough"
Ford Falcon Futura -- not what I would've predicted Rosie to drive.
Notice that the plumbing service sign on the curb side of the econline van covers the parting line between the side doors
To see successful lawyer George Baxter or his brother Steve, a Realtor, driving Falcons always seemed odd!

Hazel was a live-in maid to the wealthy Baxters. They turned Hazel loose in their new Fords to go to the market and to run personal errands as well.
Across the driveway next-door is the “Bewitched” house. All of these homes were recently torn down.
That's a shame.
The Bewitched house scenes were occasionally used on I Dream of Jeannie also. The interior was a bit different. Dr. Bellows and his wife lived there.

It was sponsored by ford
Steve Douglas and Mister B got a new car every 4 months on their shows....the family car stayed a Ford Country Squire though it must have been traded annually.

The red and blue 1963 convertibles are Galaxie 500 XLs. Hence the bucket sears and console
XL's are awesome.
Ford made some great cars.
Miss Booths birth name was Thelma Ford . At 2:32 the car was soon to be styled and rebranded as the Ford Mustang .
How could they afford to buy a new car every 6 months 🤔🤔
Cars were cheep 3-5k. And with the trade it's 1500
Ford Motor Company was the sponsor of Hazel. That's why so many Ford cars were featured on the show.
I was gonna say. Some of these shows were big ol ads. 😂
Except the last year, 1965-1966 when the series moved to CBS from the Ford spot on NBC Thursday nights . I am sure that Barry I Grauman would know the sponsors on CBS Monday nights .
No different than Chevrolet sponsoring "Bewitched" for five seasons. (Interestingly, the exteriors for "Hazel" and "Bewitched" were next door to each other on the old Columbia Pictures set--and in the 1963-64 season, you could see the "Bewitched" house next door as Hazel pulled Mr. B's '64 Galaxie convertible out of the driveway!)
If you're paying attention in the introduction of the show, you'd see different Fords with the exception of the last season
@@jrussellcase Don't forget about the Buick Skylark Hazel was driving.
Well done. Sad that cars were so beautiful 60 years and today's are plain ugly.
In the Old days many TV shows had a tie in with one of the Big Three. Bewitched was Chevrolet. Beverly Hillbillies was Dodge/Chrysler/Imperial.
My Three Sons had Pontiac.
Adam 12 went from Mopar to AMC.
@@Irishfan " I Dream of Jennie" was all Pontiac.
I Dream of Jeannie featured Pontiacs
Bonanza was Chevrolet.
I couldn’t stand this show .
God those cars are butt ugly, no wonder within a decade Detroit was hitting the skids. Compare those to British cars of the same era, game over.
Mr BAXTER GOT A new car every Yr???
