In this episode, the climactic car chase has three 1955 classics, a Ford squad car, an Oldsmobile squad car and a Chevy sedan. Surprised we didn't see more Ford squad cars during the duration of the series, since Ford was the most popular police car from 1955-59.
I love highway patrol. There is nothing as good as the older black and white videos.Example gunsmoke,wyatt erpp,rifleman,wagon train,johnny Yuma,I love them all. that's all I watch now. At 79 years of age these shows bring back so many memories.
Not only that, there was little sex, little violence and blood, you could watch these programs you could watch with your whole family. FBI in Peace and War, Mr District Attorney, Boston Blackie, The Fat Man. to mention a few of the detective stores around that same time.
Rediscovering this after 55 years is pure nostalgic joy. The role could have been made for Crawford. Having spent 20 years in law enforcement myself, I almost feel like I knew him. Love the Crown Vic and I think California was the only state which would stretch to a Buick Century for police duty but it's certainly accurate. Police Buicks were an actual thing. Brilliant! And I knew it was Hutkins as soon as I saw him. Too helpful by half!
No wonder people who have never seen any of these episodes before, just fall in love with em after 1st watching one or more! After 58 or 6O years, they're still tops in my book. Thanks for posting! You bring a lot of joy into our lives.
@@reynaldoflores4522 Answering that is easy. Those strident horns at the start of every show will attract attention at a distance. 1950s UK schoolboy me would drop everything as soon as I heard it and go to the TV for this "must see" fast moving 1950s TV show, That is precisely what it was designed to do. It worked. For schoolboys and adults alike.
Music is expensive. The theme and a group of "cues" was recorded when the series started. Introduction to scenes of various sorts , transitions, etc. Then, for each episode the music editor would choose music from the stock of recordings and cut it together for the program. They may have added from time to time but all the music and most of the sound effects are stock, cut together for the episode. Some sound effects were probably recorded for each episode, footsteps etc but mostly stock.
I love this series, I watched it three of four times already. I love Broderick Crawford too, the cute patrolmen, and all those gorgeous cars of the 50s. Thanks for sharing these gems
Now that was definitely an 'unusual case' compared to the HP formula lol -no maps -no road blocks -mystery killer -crime took days to solve One of the best I've seen
Another episode about speeder crackdown features a speeders 55 Ford with a speedometer closeup and a roadblock with an early thirties Packard sedan getting a pass.
The sergeant (J. Hart) was really handsome, but his physical assets didn't get him far in Hollywood. Males can be good lookers too. But the US culture has a sodo complex, and coy about it, praising females instead for their "beauty" all the time, even when they are plain looking or even outright ugly.
That is the "hook" to get viewers coming back for more. Worked for late 1950s UK schoolboy me and many others every time. One of Broderick Crawford's many closing pieces of advice I'll always remember is this. It is as true today as it was back in those 1950s "No matter how new, the best safety device in your car is YOU!" Gotta love those big 1950s Yankee V8s. Real style and that unmistakeable noise of those engines.
@4:00: I didn’t recognize the sergeant at first but I remember his voice. See, he always wore a mask- John Hart took over when the original guy was in a contract dispute- as The Lone Ranger!
This is an excellent episode, one of the best in the series in fact; and it is always a pleasure to see Officer Garvey/ actor Jon Locke in one of the shows, and here he has a feature role. He reminds me of what a real HWP officer would look and act like. Too bad he wasn't in more of them than just the few that he is. This is the only episode that I know where Dan Mathews is driving a ’55 Ford squad car. No idea why they didn’t use it again as they did for all the other squad cars in the show. The shot of the HWP officer driving his Oldsmobile along the Highway at 22:52 to 23:00 was recycled in many different episodes but this is the one where it was original footage and not stock footage - and need I mention how nice that brand new ’55 Chevy that the general delivery store owner drives on the highway looks. It’s worth a lot more now than it was then. 10-4.
Most US police departments in 1955 drove Ford Mainline sedans. The only difference was that most of them were 2-door sedans as opposed to the 4-door in this episode. I think this was the only episode where Dan Mathews is driving a Ford squad car, which is a bit surprising since Ford was the most popular police car through 1959, when Mopar became the police car of choice.

This is a better time. THEN ! Now, there is no safety, no consequences for the atrocities that B urn Loot M urder being blessed by the democrats to continue. The V O T E R S wanted this and they have oppressed all for the gains of the party owning their minds. It is so sad that John Fitzgerald Kennedy was the last true and loved democrat. Since then, only ass-kissing keeps them " F R E E !!!" The KKK never left the minds of people. And biden and criminal conspirators have darkened our doors.
@@budnelson2495 They are all cray-ap, where have all the good guys gone? This show,, the cops are stand-up and smart. I like how the doctor tried to take the easy way out but the cop was way alert.

The salesman said it was a 1938 convertible. Actually the Car shown was a 1939 Ford. Last year of bulb-type headlights before sealed-beams became mandatory. The car shown had been converted to sealed-beam.
hey all of you out there, who appreciate these uploads, and these old shows - DISREGARD all Peter Burnett's comments! he should be BANNED! thank you Foxeema!
This episode from season 1 had greater writing detail and development than in later seasons. Some of the later seasons were using some improvised dialogue and had many more continuity gaffs. I wonder about the reasoning for this - whether it was due to budgets, or tighter scheduling, or perhaps as some others have suggested, they were having trouble with the star staying sober during filming. As with many other shows, the higher quality episodes seem to be within the first couple of seasons.
strict money per episode diet led to continuity gaffes.One location and the big International truck seen in some episodes showed up in "How to build a Monster" B Movie filmed the same era.
I don't know if it's just me, but by episode 120 +, Matt seems to have slowed down with his hard hitting rapid fire questioning and bodily speed. That was exciting in those older episodes and with Dragnet, Friday was the same until he fizzed out too. Perhaps they seemed to know one way or the other if they'd be another episode or not or just nature just taking its course.

Very disappointed by the old lady wo2rking in CHP office. Must have changed casting directors shortly after as there were multiple hotties in that spot over the years
So lucky and blessed to be be born a Prune, Fruit, Cotton Picker, Dairy Farm Hillbilly Cowboy White Trash in Southern California back in 61. Born Free range and wild. Cowtown USA, the ultimate land of milk and honey. nothing more now than fading precious memories of what once was holy and sacred.
Gotta laugh at myself. I sure was impressionable at that age. I really enjoyed this back in the day as I do know but now I marvel at some of the stupidity.
Notice the address on the A & B Used Car business is not the same one radioed to Matthews earlier. Just an observation. doesn't take away from the plot, etc. Just interesting!
Eh; watch the closing credits of the original Vanishing Point movie and you'll realize it was Camaro not a Barracuda smashed into the bulldozer. Didn't really make much difference for the episode/movie. (Although at the timewhen I saw it at the drive-in I was a MOPAR man driving a Road Runner so I was happy to see it was a Chevy they trashed lol.
My '46 Willys Jeep has four shift levers (one for transmission, two for transfer case, one overdrive) but no window cranks. Without windows (or doors) you don't need 'em! I once had a '55 Chevy truck with a 'three on the tree' (column shift). My '53 Olds, '56 Ford, and '59 Chevy were all automatics.
Here we have an episode about a serial killer. When I was a kid and first saw this one I was a bit surprised on who the culprit was. I figured it had to be the ex-con. This is the only episode that a '55 Ford is used as a patrol car. They were used as undercover cars though. The nice '55 Chevy 210 was used in two other episodes. They didn't have to be a BelAir to be a sharp looking car.
Ok so at the first killing with the blonde guy how did the fat store keeper get back to town/ or his place......he rolled the car off the road....did he just happen to leave another car around the corner......or did he Hitch hike back.....🤔
Love the TV shows from the 1960's and back they were always well done ! Good actors and actresses who new how to act and didn't have to cuss all the way through show ,writer's new how to use words instead of cussing !! oh and they didn't booty butt naked or having sex or body parts all over the place . New where the entertainment industry was going when they made the, Dirty Harry and the Godfather movies neither one was good . Didn't care for all the violence moved out of gutter neighborhoods to get away from that crap , cost me a lot of money but I got me and my kids out of it , and the movies made about that kind of violence don't impress me and they only create problems .I was in my early 20's when these movies came out . And I still think those kind of movies are garbage and actors and actresses can't act very good these days !!
"Over" meaning the other guy can talk. One must press the mic button to transmit, and while transmitting cannot hear anything being said by the other end, so a word is needed meaning "I am releasing the mic button and standing by for you". In most radio services the word used is "Over", but apparently not here.
He didn't seem to have an official title. He was just The Boss. And we never saw a hint of his personal life. Mathews didn't seem to have time for women. Not sure that he ever went home.

+John Newsome Ditto

Not only that, there was little sex, little violence and blood, you could watch these programs you could watch with your whole family. FBI in Peace and War, Mr District Attorney, Boston Blackie, The Fat Man. to mention a few of the detective stores around that same time.
Yeah! B&W is for adventure. Color is for wimps.
John Newsome I agree John, try 12 o’clock high, tales of Wells fargo
One of the best of the old series. They packed a lot of plot into 26 minutes back then!
Now days, a 30 min show only has about 16 minutes of content. Four minutes of commercials back then instead of the 14 minutes we get now.
Rediscovering this after 55 years is pure nostalgic joy. The role could have been made for Crawford. Having spent 20 years in law enforcement myself, I almost feel like I knew him. Love the Crown Vic and I think California was the only state which would stretch to a Buick Century for police duty but it's certainly accurate. Police Buicks were an actual thing. Brilliant! And I knew it was Hutkins as soon as I saw him. Too helpful by half!

I love how the music is exactly the same in every episode - they found a formula and stuck to it.
The trumpets blaring at the opening is so annoying, though.
Why they have to have those trumpets?

Can watch these over and over! Great stories for such a vintage show!
Great escape to the 50s & 60s

These are considered classics! Anyone who can't comprehend this, should move on!

@@RoyPage1970 Not as much as the 2 door, obviously, but the prices are still up there.
Gotta love HP! When they run out of dialogue, they just pantomime the rest. Great work, Dan.

Brod only slowed his delivery for his radio calls. What a unique actor.
"Two-one-five-oh" , instead of ,"Twentyone-Fifty".
In these shows he yaps as fast as speed of light, cuzZ
This one is a really good episode. :)
Moral of the story: Don’t commit a crime in Dan’s jurisdiction.
and if you do offer him a drink
@@kenlucas7025 I have met a lot more "good" men who were drinkers than not.
The moral is don't commit more than a couple of times.
Love that opening music!!
Same.😅🤌
Those trumpets are so irritating. Too screeching loud!!
I love the low budget stock footage crash from the 1930's LOL

You hear Matthews talk he must have learned speed talking. Man that guy talks fast!!!
He has no time to mess around. Fast talker. Fast action.
No other way to keep episodes around 26 minutes without Dan's rapid fire dialogue

High way pro troll is good show Dan talk s so fast ass if he remembers every word he is saying it's funny great show Iove black n white shows
I like it because it just about the case and not about private love lives and domestic issues .
Broderick was great I call him flat foot he be talking fast as hell lol
The murdered hitchhiker played a cop in the motorcycle episode with Clint Eastwood.

There are several hitchhiker episodes in the series.This was the first,Episode #6.
4:50 "Patrolman Garvey thinks the victim might've been a fruit tramp."
As a old Disabled Veteran, this Helps my PTSD 🇺🇸.
The police man talking to Matthews in the start of it played the long ranger in some episode's and my i say they don't make men like they used too
In the closing scene when the guy was being taken away in the police car, I wanted him to say to Dan, "Do you want to buy some insurance?"
@sootaroot...funny!
He had the insurance check the same day!! What is the time line on these shows? Autopsy,interview people and check delivered!
boy that car over the cliff was kind of a stretch 😎
The Ford looks more like the highway patrol cars that were in my area. They couldn’t afford Buicks.
40 and 50 years ago, I used to hitchhike all across America and Europe. And I picked up my fellow travelers when I had a car. It worked perfectly.
Serial killers were alive and well in the 1950s.
Gotta laugh at myself. I sure was impressionable at that age. I really enjoyed this back in the day as I do know but now I marvel at some of the stupidity.
i watched highway patrol, when i was a kid.
Haha, nice '41 something about to go over the edge, seconds later an old 1920s fliver was careening down the slope! Bait and switch!
+vintajs Yeah! I saw that too. Ha!!
"an old 1920s"? Make it early 30s or later.
Their budget couldn't afford trashing a fine car.
They had to switch to a junk jalopy to run over the cliff.
I kept saying to myself “I know that guy from somewhere “.
John Curtis, the name of Mary Ellen's husband on "The Waltons"
Very good episode.
at 7:10 they get a tip to go to A&B Used Car Company, 10313 Union Ave. At 7:30 they arrive at A&B Motors, 19326.
@Chris Neilson Correction: at 7:10 10213 Union Street was the tip address. Anyway, good catch.
ever notice Crawford always has abrasions on his face like he was fighting ?
He was--Bar wars
Was wondering where the knot on his forehead came from
Odd. Mathews is using 2 1 5 0 instead of 21-50 for his call sign. Wonder why?
Notice the address on the A & B Used Car business is not the same one radioed to Matthews earlier. Just an observation.
doesn't take away from the plot, etc. Just interesting!
Hi everyone!🙋🏻♂️
Just wanted to say hello....
Sincerely,

Anyone notice that the car they pushed off the cliff wasn't even the same car?
+jim dandy Yes! I was just going to write about that. I saw something similar in a Columbo TV movie. Ha!
+MICHAEL DAVIS You know the cars they trashed in some shows would be worth 6 figures now
At least someone had a little foresight not to wreck a '39 Ford ragtop.
It's called file footage.
Eh; watch the closing credits of the original Vanishing Point movie and you'll realize it was Camaro not a Barracuda smashed into the bulldozer. Didn't really make much difference for the episode/movie. (Although at the timewhen I saw it at the drive-in I was a MOPAR man driving a Road Runner so I was happy to see it was a Chevy they trashed lol.
This is Broderick Crawford, we need to set up a road block 🚧. 🚧
Clearly a 39 Ford with 40 sealbeam upgrade.
55 Ford Patrol cars may be unique to this episode which I think was among the first.
Dan driving a cheaper '55 Ford this episode instead of the big lead sled Buick, Olds, or Merc.
Why does Matthews have to squeal his tyres EVERY single time he drives off?
Man, this one's an early episode! Check out Dans car!
1955 Ford
He's got a sweet 1955 Ford four-door sedan for a police car
Glad I checked this out!
I'm still hand-shifting my car. Windows too.
My '46 Willys Jeep has four shift levers (one for transmission, two for transfer case, one overdrive) but no window cranks. Without windows (or doors) you don't need 'em!
I once had a '55 Chevy truck with a 'three on the tree' (column shift). My '53 Olds, '56 Ford, and '59 Chevy were all automatics.
Here we have an episode about a serial killer. When I was a kid and first saw this one I was a bit surprised on who the culprit was. I figured it had to be the ex-con.
This is the only episode that a '55 Ford is used as a patrol car. They were used as undercover cars though. The nice '55 Chevy 210 was used in two other episodes. They didn't have to be a BelAir to be a sharp looking car.
if both cops would have pulled the trigger on the apple stealer they'd of shot each other
So YOU dont have to look it up..the episodes are from 1955 to 1959.
Why was Matthews demoted from a Buick to a Ford in this episode?
Anybody know what this area used in taping this show and others look like now ? 50+ years later.
White people picking fruit? Man this show is old.
There should have been a spin-off series of this…. called “The Lab Boys”
We barely ever saw the mysterious Lab Boys.
I find it interesting the older weaker man gets the jump on the younger stronger man, and he did it 5 times.
The sergeant (J. Hart) is really handsome, but his physical assets didn't get him far in Hollywood.
The opposite is actually true.
worst fake lone ranger ever
The kindly looking store clerk did not look the part of a five time "tire iron" killer.
John A. GREED has many faces.
He was too polite and nice.
Finally! A 4 door cop car!
That insurance guy seemed like a barrel of laughs.
Mr. Banning was certainly a far cry from “The Man with the Action-Packed Expense Account, Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar.”
Ok so at the first killing with the blonde guy how did the fat store keeper get back to town/ or his place......he rolled the car off the road....did he just happen to leave another car around the corner......or did he Hitch hike back.....🤔
suspend all belief fellow crime fighters! Broderick Crawford -academy award winner on patrol!!
Maybe he hitchhiked?
Interesting to see how those cars lurched back and forth when being braked, etc. New cars don't do that.
Suspensions were designed for a soft ride, not for performance.

Love the TV shows from the 1960's and back they were always well done ! Good actors and actresses who new how to act and didn't have to cuss all the way through show ,writer's new how to use words instead of cussing !!
oh and they didn't booty butt naked or having sex or body parts all over the place .
New where the entertainment industry was going when they made the, Dirty Harry and the Godfather movies neither one was good . Didn't care for all the violence moved out of gutter neighborhoods to get away from that crap , cost me a lot of money but I got me and my kids out of it , and the movies made about that kind of violence don't impress me and they only create problems .I was in my early 20's when these movies came out .
And I still think those kind of movies are garbage and actors and actresses can't act very good these days !!
Back in the day, when roadblocks actually worked! Now there’s too much traffic to deal with and minimal resources.

tell me what Bye means when they say it on the Radio
THANK you!!
"Over" meaning the other guy can talk. One must press the mic button to transmit, and while transmitting cannot hear anything being said by the other end, so a word is needed meaning "I am releasing the mic button and standing by for you". In most radio services the word used is "Over", but apparently not here.
thanks Ron...appriciate it.
What is Dan Mathews rank? Any ideas? Why doesn’t he wear a uniform? Does he call on the ladies? He was a mystery.
Notice also that none of his men address him by his proper rank, whatever it is.
He didn't seem to have an official title. He was just The Boss. And we never saw a hint of his personal life. Mathews didn't seem to have time for women. Not sure that he ever went home.
Nice 55 Ford 4 door

Not many hitchhikers anymore. They're all goners.
Any wonder?
