Unlike you, we didn't really get this show until they were using Dodges, so those were the cars we saw mostly even though it seems that Buicks in earlier years get a lot of attention from the websites now.
The opening scene, IIRC, had a close up of a front wheel of the Dodge, tyre horribly distorted, doing a U-turn or something... and Broderick Crawford was a part of our lives.

Actually Ward Cleaver didn't buy MoPar until the third season. He was strictly a FoMoCo man in Season One and Two (1957 Ford). The 1957 Ford's tailfins were tiny in comparison to what was being offered by the 1957 Forward Look line. I agree with the recommendation of the movie "It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, World." It was a 90 minute advertisement for Chrysler Corporation, and the plot was pretty funny too. |

True, but every generation has issues with hats. Look at the American and British kids who fought in WW II.
They wore their uniform hats at all sorts of strange angles so they'd look "jaunty", but they defeated two of the most powerful military forces on the planet.
Wearing their hats correctly did not help either the Nazis nor the Imperial Japanese!

NONONONONO...etcetcetc...! That red "D500" is a complete fraud.
That car was a blue 361 car, that a certain person (Paul Garlick) created, over several years, in the late 1980's, to be the
fake-D500, in red, with a fake provenance, to M.M. .
Initially, the car was "rumored" (by Paul) to have belonged to someone 'associated' with M. M. .
I have a photograph, taken on Xmas (forget the precise year it was taken) , with Paul grinning at the camaramen, sitting in that
blue 361 Polara.
Paul, also, famously, tried to pass-off a 1961 Plodge as being an export car, to Mexico--it's that very-nice looking turquoise Dodge
with the PLY front end, and with a Toilet seat trunk.
If not for quick contact to Hemmings Classic Cars, by a Daily List Server member, that car was all-set to have been featured in a
major article in H.C.C. . which reportedly spent $2,000.00 on article-preparation work, on that car.
As I've saved those discussions, I should be able to reference those thread discussions, for those who don't already read the
messages to that "Mailing List" , which membership & Archives are found on the FWDLK's homepage masthead subject-listings.
Mopar Collectors Guide did do an article on the car. I sent them a nice letter, complete with photos, debunking the all the claims made regarding that car - the unknown door panels (1961 Fury), the unusual shade (1961 turquoise), the never-seen-before headlamp trim (optional 1961 - gave them the part number), the phoney spare cover on the trunk (1960 Plymouth) and the gold trim (done by Mr. Garlick as he had done for the red convertible). Also exposed the claim that the car was built in Canada for Mexico - total Canadian 1961 Polara production came to zero.
The MCG article appeared after Mr. Garlick had sold the car on eBay - which included a number of misleading claims to inflate the price. I don't think the new owner would be too impressed with Mr. Garlick if the truth were known.

Have no photos for these examples, either, but Chrysler products were used on "Petticoat Junction" - a 1946-48 Plymouth taxi for Hooterville, a 1953 Plymouth taxi for Pixley, Mrs. (Eva Gabor) Douglas's 1967 Plymouth Fury III convertible, a 1968 Imperial Crown convertible for visiting movie stars, a 1968 Imperial LeBaron for Uncle Joe's visit to Chicago and a Dodge A-100 wagon camper owned by the boyfriend of the one of the girls.
Back in 1959 CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) had a series about an RCMP detachment in a small Canadian town called Shamattawa. The RCMP constables in the series used 1959 Dodge Regent 2-door sedans. About all I can remember of the series are the Dodge Regent (same as Plymouth Savoy) cars.

Location: bishop, ca | As I have kept certain Mailing List messages saved, on my home system, I was able to find the beginning of the very-long discussion
on Paul Garlick's 1961 one-of-none Plodge, that, as Bill Watson mentioned, above, DID make it onto the pages of MoPar Collector's Guide
(but not, fortunately, onto Hemmings Classic Car), and that discussion, if you can believe it(!) began on 8/9/04 , with the thread
:" A Truly Odd 1961 Dodge".
You can find that discussion, by going to the FWDLK's homepage, and clicking on "FL Archives", and THEN mega-clicking on the "next-page"
icon, until you go back in time, to 8/9/04 .
THREE (++) years: OMG !!!! How time flies.....

Location: The Bat Cave, Fairborn, OH | Lawrence Welk had Chrysler Corporation as a sponsor of his TV show for quite of few years. He sold Dodges usually although at least in 1959 he also sold Plymouths. There are a few clips from his show extolling the new for 59 Plymouth on the 59 Plymouth Fury web site. http://www.59plymouth.net/index.html Occasionally some of his shows from the 50s are shown on Public TV. Public TV doesn't show the commercial, but the set design usually lets you know who sponsored the show originally. (Dodge or Plymouth)

I guess 318's run in the famly. |

Yes, Ike's Imperial is displayed in the garage at his Gettysburg farm, along with other of his vehicles. I visited the farm
last April after Spring Carlisle. |

Location: Under the X in Texas | Nelson A. Rockefeller's '60 Chrysler Imperial Ghia limousine, ordered when he became governor of the state of New York. Replaced in 1970 by another Chrysler limo. He later became Vice President of the US. This is a one-of-one built in 1960 with the 4-window body and a small oval back glass. In more recent years the car was in the Jay Stream collection. Mr. Stream was Wayne Newton's manager.

Location: Under the X in Texas | This is presumed to be a 1961 Chrysler Imperial Ghia limousine. It appeared in the 2004 film "Lemony Snickets". Nine '61 Ghia limos were built using 1960 sheet metal as twenty five '60s had been ordered by Chrysler but Ghia only completed 16 in '60 so they built nine more the next year. Like the '60 shown above, this is a four-window body style. This car differs however in that the back glass in the car is the standard production LeBaron sedan rear window which was supplied by Chrysler. There is, so far, no history known on this car prior to its appearance in the movie. It is obviously deteriorated however it appeared at some recent events in San Diego county in California.

Location: Under the X in Texas | Shown here is Carl Kiekhaefer, owner of Mercury Outboard Marine, with the accumulation of trophies won by the Chrysler 300 racing team during the 1955 and 1956 racing seasons. He is leaning on the 300B used as a promotional car having won the Flying Mile at Daytona Beach Speed Week in 1956. While the many race cars would probably properly be said to belong to the corporation, the '56 Imperial Ghia limousine in the background on the driveway was Carl's personal family car. He drove a black 300B to "work"! Note on the roof of the car is promoted the fall NASCAR road race at Elkhart Lake, WI, nearby to Merc Marine. In '56 and early '57, NASCAR briefly actually tried a road racing series.

Location: Under the X in Texas | I think we are seeing an accidental trick played on the film by the reflection of the steps or whatever off the top of the glass. The reason I say that is every OTHER angle taken around that time and that day as shown on this page: http://www.imperialclub.com/Yr/1960/Kennedy/index.htm Particularly click to open the first photo and then, when open, click it again to enlarge it. The Kennedy windshield appears to be as flat as the Rockefeller windshield, only curving enough to butt horizontally into the gasket at the roof line. The NAGS glass catalog only shows ONE windshield for ALL 1957 through 1963 Imperial body styles: W465. There simply was not any other piece of glass to fit these cars, nothing for converts or limos or sedans. W465 was the ONLY windshield and it has to be in both of those cars. Even though the photo is a year earlier, there was no other glass available for that car!
In 1964 a new glass, W648 came out for all Imperials except convertibles with continued to use the W465.

(Dodge or Plymouth ) I can still remember like it was yesterday, my grandparents had a TV, and the only program they ever watched was Lawrence Welk, (little kids were not allowed to watch, and I was 6) but I could always hear the "Swept Wing Dodge" commercials. A couple times, I "snuck" in to see what they looked like. |

Location: Puyallup, Washington | I regret that I have neither photos nor specific information about the years or models of his Forward Look Chryslers, but I've read that Juan Trippe always traveled to his Manhattan offices -- in the Chrysler Building and the later Pan Am building -- in a chauffer-driven Chrysler or Imperial.
Trippe was founder and president of one of the USA's most influential corporations during the Forward Look era -- Pan American World Airways (Pan Am). A Forward Look Chrysler was the perfect automotive statement for the man who launched America's "Jet Age" with the Boeing 707's in October, 1958.

No pictures.... didn't expect to see him and they likely would have been in black & white anyway. It was stunning with that blue with the gold tone side trim. I didn't ask but I always thought it was interesting that blue & gold were the colors for UCLA, which Ricky was attending at the time.

How about some pictures of Peter Gunn (Craig Stevens) and some of the cars on his show? I don't have them otherwise I would post them myself, maybe someone else does. I just watched the great St Louis Bank Robbery with Steve McQueen, no one actually drives a Forward look car, but there is a scene where one of the robbers is doing a stakeout of the bank in a Desoto dealership lot, a nice rear shot of a 58.
McQueen is about to steal a license plate. Looks like a '55 DeSoto in the scene.

Nelson A. Rockefeller's '60 Chrysler Imperial Ghia limousine, ordered when he became governor of the state of New York. Replaced in 1970 by another Chrysler limo. He later became Vice President of the US. This is a one-of-one built in 1960 with the 4-window body and a small oval back glass. In more recent years the car was in the Jay Stream collection. Mr. Stream was Wayne Newton's manager.
