There is obviously no B-pillar, so it is a hardtop sedan. By the vinyl roof I'd go for a LeBaron [CY1-H43], one of only 2194. |

From the episode "Sing a Song of Papa," about a gangster who falls in love with Gomer's singing voice. This car belongs to the gangster. |

The smaller rear window confirms this is a LeBaron. |

Obviously like so many series in the sixties, this was a Chrysler sponsored affair. If you want to see a nice convertible 67 Imperial smashed to bits, see Point Blank with Lee Marvin. |

It wasn't really sponsored by Chrysler, they just had an agreement to supply the vehicles in exchange for a courtesy in the closing credits. The show was actually sponsored by General Foods, makers of Maxwell House Coffee, Post Cereal, Cool Whip, and then owners of Burger Chef restaurants, all of which were advertised during the show's original run. Chrysler appeared to be the leading supplier of cars on TV sitcoms during the 1950s, '60s and early '70s followed by Ford then General Motors. -- Last edit: 2009-06-15 20:08:22 |
