mrroberts ◊ 2009-05-14 06:28	Each year of the show they used patrol cars just like the real CHP. 2 door sedans, Buicks, Olds, Mercurys, and my favorites the 57, 58, 59 Dodge Coronet D 500s.

tv boy ◊ 2010-07-13 15:32	CRAFT372 wrote Are there any good car chases in this show ? Craft, I've seen one or two very short ones but nothing ending in a crash...not yet. Mostly they catch their guys at roadblocks or by showing up unexpectedly where the bad guy is headed.
tv boy ◊ 2010-07-13 15:33	Here's a weird one I thought was probably too unidentifiable for its own page. Looks like a Ford something or other. Two stars from ep. 2.16:
tv boy ◊ 2010-09-19 18:11	Just added images from the following episodes: Eps. 2.32 through 2.39. Eps. 4.1, 4.3 and 4.23. Nearly all Season three eps, except a handful. My recorder didn't catch some of them, the station pre-empted a couple and there were even a few episodes I scanned but didn't find any new cars. My local station or the THIS network, went out of order at one point and showed a late 1959 episode (4.23, which featured guest stars Robert Conrad and Dyan Cannon) and that enabled me to catch the '59 Dodge used by the HP. So now we apparently have all of the squad car Dodges. Completed. Special thanks to whichever moderator approved these images so quickly.
big dave ◊ 2010-09-20 01:13	It's on at 5 AM Tues-Sat at my house. Television at it's best.
big dave ◊ 2010-09-20 01:30	In a recent episode, Lt. Matthews is on vacation and arrives at a fishing lodge in a 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air 4 door hardtop. Guess that was his personal car.
tv boy ◊ 2010-09-20 03:49	That may be one of the ones I missed, Dave. I was specifically hoping I would see a '58 Chevy.
Skid ◊ 2010-09-20 08:06	tv boy wrote That's a Ford AA flatbed, probably 1930-1931 based on the grille. It appears to be very "stripped down," for some reason.

tv boy ◊ 2010-09-23 15:16	Skid wrote It appears to be very "stripped down," for some reason. Maybe it was in the early stages of being transformed into a hot rod and was pressed into service? Or, it was in a wreck and a poor farmer stripped off the damage and kept driving it? Just a couple of guesses.
tv boy ◊ 2010-11-11 06:09	Finally! Season Four is finished. I did miss a few episodes but I just downloaded all the images I have. Now I'll make a second pass through the series.
big dave ◊ 2010-11-11 20:34	Yes. I caught the very first episode this week.
tv boy ◊ 2011-01-26 04:38	Just added 27 more images from seasons 1 & 2.
portacker ◊ 2011-10-18 14:22	This show predates the practice of a car company sponsoring by providing all the cars used by the major actors on screen. The writing even avoids mentioning the makes of cars, when pursuing a suspect. I've read that California Highway Patrol supplied some of the police cars. When did that force stop using two door sedans?
Hipo1990 ◊ 2012-05-31 15:16	I added some missing cars from few episodes.
vilero ◊ 2012-05-31 19:43	Hipo1990, thank you very much for the new pictures from season 1. Two years ago I only got the 27 first episodes from that season and now your pictures make me happy. Thanks again.
oddsox ◊ 2014-02-14 14:52	here's a challenge: help me find an Edsel. Model years 1958 or 1959 only (series ended June 1959, before the 1960 Edsel came out) Filming would have been during or after September 1957. Looks like 3.17 was earliest episode using 1958 cars, but they don't always air in order of production. I'm missing: 3.15 Mother's March 3.21 Revenge (other Revenge title is 4.23 w/Robert Conrad, Dyan Cannon) 3.23 Deaf Mute 4.01 Frightened Witness 4.07 Portrait of Death 4.19 Gem Robbery Hunting thru the others. earlier missing episodes: 2.25 Nitro -- Last edit: 2014-04-18 15:40:53

It's an early one for rear wing shape, before 1957+ 1000 version. I can't tell if original 1949+ [MM] or 52+ [Series II], but may not be separable from this angle without view of grille.

Also saw a '48-'50 Packard in this episode (2.32), parked with tail end showing.

oddsox ◊ 2014-02-24 18:08	'48-'50 Packard: in the closing scene of episode 2.32, above, our buddy Brod is blocking the '48-'50 Packard, parked just to the left of the Kaiser. A better shot of it at 18:22 No chrome rear trim below taillights, so probably a lower end model: Standard or DeLuxe.

oddsox ◊ 2014-05-16 15:10	big dave wrote I believe the MG? opposite Shermat is actually a Singer 1500 Roadster. 2.14 4:02 ok, here it is, parked in front of the Four Star Cafe: Sloping rear and severe front door cutout makes it look like a Singer. But could it still be an MG of some kind? Or a Morgan? Defer others on the imports -- I'm pretty weak. If it's a Singer or Morgan, does it deserve its own page? -- Last edit: 2014-05-16 23:31:53
chris40 ◊ 2014-05-16 15:48	It's unmistakeably a Singer Roadster, but which model - 4AB, 4AC or SM1500 - I can't be sure at this distance. 1950-5. It's too squat for an MG TD (the only possible model with disc wheels) and the hood is too short for a Morgan. (I suspect it's too far away for our admins.) -- Last edit: 2014-05-16 15:50:35
