Anyone remember the original Highway Patrol tv shows?

I remember the show but could not remember the car make, which apparently was four different makes (Buick, Olds, Dodge, Mercury) according to this(TV_series)
See ya…..Gary/wt
sorry, trouble with the link…..here is proper address: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highway_Patrol_(TV_series)

I totally miss Highway Patrol. I also miss Rescue 911 and Unsolved Mysteries. They just don’t really make good cop shows like they used to.

I remember it from when I was pretty young. Have things changed? Yes, I think so! And
here’s something else about the car.

Edit: I just checked the Wikipedia link and I remember it from reruns because even though I am almost as old as dirt, it premiered before I was born and was off the air by the time I was 2.

Sure, but I haven’t thought of it, nor Broderick Crawford in 35 years. HIghway Patrol episodes.

Chips?

@Deja_vu No, not CHIPS. That came out in the 70’s.

The original Highway Patrol starred Broderick Crawford and first aired in the late 40’s or 50’s.

Doctor Who drove one! An interesting yet little known “fact” :¬)

And speaking of Broderick Crawford… remember him in “All the King’s Men,” about the rise and fall of a corrupt, megalomaniacal politician named Willie Stark (based on Gov. Huey Long of Louisiana)? The film is 60 years old, but Stark and his cronies are out collecting votes right this minute.

Thanks everyone for the info. your answers have taken me back to 1955, when i was a teenager and the era of Broderick Crawford. thoroughly enjoyed the info you have provided.
