    I could hear the factory glass pack dual mufflers on that 1956 Ford convertible when the robber sped away from Apex Plastics. The Ford probably had the 292 Y-block V8. I had a 1956 Mercury convertible (in 1965) with the 312 Y-block V8 with dual factory glass pack muffler exhaust. I have no idea when Ford stopped installing glass pack mufflers on their cars. These weren't the bullet shaped hi-performance glass packed mufflers of later years, but a regular looking stock rectangular muffler that had glass packed stamped into the steel muffler shell. They had a very mellow sound.

      A Borla muffer is straight through with a packing although I think it is stainless steel wool which doesn't shread as fast as fibreglass
      the muffler case is also stainless steel and shaped rectangular like regular mufflers
      they run louder than stock but not as loud as many of the aftermarket glasspacks and "Flowmasters"

      1956 Fords like the one in this video had at least one major improvement over all the previous years of Fords. For the '56 and later models the wiring and all electrical devices were 12 volt as opposed to 6 volt.

    Some of you guys can't appreciate these classic shows showing that evil never ends up winning in the end.

Oh that this nation might return to truth and righteousness.

      ***** Tony, no offense intended at all, but these programs were made in a day when this country had not integrated as far as the blacks and whites. And even as a boy growing up in the 70's the only time I heard of a Hispanic was a migrant worker. We are living in the 21st century now and I know things have changed and we can't go back to those days nor should we. I'm only speaking of the morality they are presenting that was once a true thing in this country. I wouldn't call the man a Jewish racist, it was a different day but is still a part of our nations history that should be appreciated for what it presented morals wise. I grew up going to school with black people and the thought of racism or prejudice never entered my mind. I had friends of different races even back then, but at the same time you didn't see interracial dating and marriages and even a girl getting pregnant out of wedlock in those days was a shame. I think people like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton have purposely tried to drive every wedge they could to cause division and racism in this country. Well I wasn't trying to preach a sermon only to bring about what I hope was a point that can be taken for the motive I intended to give it. Thanks for listening. Have a good day!

    $28000 was a lot of money in 1955. Good buildup and payoff here in a good episode ie solid writing. The talented Emmaline Henry does a good job in a dramatic role but she was better known for comedy. Shirley O'Hara (payroll clerk) had a long career. RIP Both.

    This was the first episode I recall watching when I was just 6 in 1960. After that I remembered all of them thru the years. Great dialogue in this one.
    The makeup department did it right putting the blood mark on Stash. He took a bullet in the lung and later bled to death.
    The money must have been in small bills to take that many bags. But then it was rare in 1956 for anyone to have a $50 or a $100. The starter sounds on the '56 is likely actual as those Fords often the bendix jammed with the flywheel. I've owned several.
    John Close who played Stash died in a road accident in 1963, age 42. Emmaline Henry who also appeared in the 1957 episode "Lady Bandits" died in 1979 age 50.

    I can't believe that someone would paint a '56 Ford ragtop grey. Surely that's not a stock colour. Those cars look so beautiful when two toned in colours such yellow and black. At least they likely reused the same car to save money and didn't go out and rent a second battleship grey one.

    The reason why things were better back then is not hard to explain. One the wife stayed home and raised the children and tended to the house work. She was happy to do that. The men went to work and when they got home they would play with the kids or help with the homework. The Dad would also spank the kids if they had been up to no good that day. Most everyone went to church every Sunday . The went from childhood until the were either dead or too old to go . The fear of God was in all of them as it should be all of us now. People were not so greedy thus smaller homes . Happy homes. Men taught the boys how to build things and women taught the girls how to cook bake and sew . Divorce was something I only heard about from hearing about the Hollywood people that married and divorced like teens would change dating partners. Life was good then . Cars were driven much slower and most people did not travel more then twenty miles from where they were born . Everyone knew everyone at least so much as to know who that person was and where they lived . Yes people were happy then .

    This episode simply has too many coincidences for my liking. The bad guy Stash Erwin just happens to die shortly before arriving at a HWP roadblock. Then Mr. Warren Siddons, the guy who gets framed, just happens to have a gun in his hand when he is flagged down by an officer of the HWP. And he just happens to have a car that is the same year, make, model, and even color as the getaway car that Stash was driving, which is a ’56 Ford Sunliner Convertible. (Nice Car) And to boot, it even has the same exact license plate number on it, which is 3517106. Now try to figure that one out! And additionally, he just happens to work at the same plant that was robbed only he happened to leave early that day in order to go house hunting instead of doing it on a Saturday, and yet he just happened to be traveling down the same road near where the plant was located. And Stash Erwin, with a bullet lodged firmly in his back, just happens to be able to walk three whole miles before being picked up by a passing motorist and so his car and the money that Stash had stashed isn’t found immediately by members of the HWP searching the area where he had been picked up. And then the crook, Mr. Steadman, just happens to be dumb enough to want to plant some phony evidence at his place at work and even has his girlfriend put some suitcases inside his home filled with his clothes, which of course do not have any of his fingerprints on them. And then she is dumb enough to interview Mr. Siddons, naively believing that he may tell her something that he didn’t already tell the cops - while Dan Matthews the chief of the HWP has nothing better to do than to sit in an unmarked police car all day waiting for her imminent arrival - and who after being told some bogus information by Mr. Siddons then passes it on to her boyfriend who as a result takes the bait and promptly gets busted. I don’t buy it, I don’t buy it at all!
    And not explained is how anyone knew that Stash Erwin was driving a gray convertible as the guard immediately collapsed after getting shot, but whoever had seen it speeding away must have known that there was only one person riding in that car. And another thing, how did Stash Erwin get that Apex Plastic Gate Pass decal number 406 pasted onto the windshield of his car, as they were supposedly only given out to employees of the firm. Anyone have any ideas? I know its just silly 1950’s morality, but 60 years later it’s still a fun show to watch; so I’ve had my say, more than my say - to say the least!
