A nice selection of MOPAR cars seen on this episode. A '58 Plymouth Plaza, a '58 Chrysler New Yorker, a '58 Dodge Royal Lancer, and a '58 De Soto Fireflite Convertible. 😊
Nope, I don't like the tail fins. Don't see anything great about them. Waste of metal. Well, everyone to his/her own opinion and likes. The 1956 Chevrolet for me, thank you.
Final scene was in Griffith Park. Couldn't get the name of the street when Dan was following the woman, but it could've been Winona in Hollywood. Makes sense, as they often shot near their studio. Tried to look up the Maple Shop, visible when she was in the phone booth making the call. Anyone remember it?

Wow.....A 1958 Chrysler New Yorker with the monstrous 392 CID Hemi, 4 barrel Carter and the Torqueflite push button transmission! What more could you ask for in a car?
Oh man, I want that 58 New Yorker, but cant find one in the UK. Just have to stick with the Belvedere, great shows, watch them every day. I wish I could wake up in the 50s tomorrow
Pollution just starting, overpopulation well on its way, labor jobs available easily, robberies everywhere, dirt roads and dust. Yeah, go back for a week and it might not be so grand.
In case anyone didn't know, this episode is not "The Deadly Diamonds" (S4: Ep9) but actually one called "Gem Robbery" (S4: Ep19) according to the IMDb. There is also another earlier episode that is called "Gem Robbery" (S2: Ep32) which may have caused the confusion. The "Deadly Diamonds" is one of four episodes that is currently not available on RUclips. The other three episodes are: "Mothers' March", "Nitro", and "Revenge" (1). In order to see those particular shows you have to shell out some serious DVD loot.
This episode listed as S4 E19 on IMDB as "Gem Robbery" is "Deadly Diamonds". @8176morgan is correct, the episode are very similar in story. One difference is only diamonds worth $35,000 are stolen in this story. The other involves various gems worth $350,000."IMDB has "Gem Robbery" listed as S4 E9. I just wanted to add all the episodes listed here are on You Tube now. I watch Highway Patrol every morning at 5am the past year.

@@8176morgan Yes Mothers March is terrible. I started watching the show because I babysit & send him to school mornings and he comes at 5:30.

" 2150 to headquarters, headquarters bye, entering the house at 1750 front Street,' Lydia Harris was a tasty vanilla wafer, second, Mr. Vandyce's assistant, Mrs. Hudson was an editable 100 grand candy bar. Darrell's gangster drop top chariot made this a high five chapter.
I love it at 16 minutes and 20 seconds Dan following her down the street in that big police car while she is walking down the sidewalk. Oblivious so funny
Get me an undercover car. A mirror-black 1958 Chrysler New Yorker will be inconspicuous enough. Sure, no one will notice as I tail a pedestrian at 5 mph for 3 blocks.
Love how anyone mentioned on the phone just suddenly appears. These scripts were as speedy as Crawford's verbal deliveries. Probably what contributed greatly to the show's success.
man 1st Sgt Ward is my idol. I remember I was a recruit almost 4 years ago and he was the one that motivated me not to give up when I was giving up on myself. He literally ran right next to me when my platoon was doing the 3 miles. Til I got dropped due to a stress fracture in my left tibia he was still there for me to motivate me. I ended up getting better
There is an episode of Highway Patrol, where at the beginning, Dan Matthew's is playing golf with an old judge. I noted how in those opening scenes, Dan in his golf attire, looked much like Tony Soprano.
One loose end: The lady left her car parked in front of the station. It might have been towed or ticketed. Matthews wants to go to Rita’s house before checking the station.
I just seen a 1982 Chevrolet today (4/Sep/24)... here in the UK, not in pristine condition but pretty good for it's age, driven by a young lad (I'de say about 25 year old) - I told him to look after it, and that it was a classic, worth money . . . I'm not sure he really understood that, but I hope so .
Broderick Crawford looked like a grizzly bear lumbering through the underbrush at 23:45. They probably induced him to perform this by telling him there was a bottle out there with his name on it.
MrShobar ....Yeah, I hear tell he was a real boozer. A few drunk driving charges too. I know the Highway Patrol didn't even want him playing that part because he was an embarrassment.
PointyTailofSatan my grand father shot a 38 from his waste & was an excellent shot . I saw him shoot the head off a rattlesnake from 50 feet... he was born in the late 1800’s incredible shot. He tried to teach my brother & I to shoot that way in 1972.
Interesting/informative/entertaining. Realistically portrayed citizens/criminals/law enforcement officials. Enjoy viewing 👀 viewing the automobiles/pay phone booth/police switch board. Amazing how accurate a shot Uncle Broderick is with his snub nose revolver-!!!🤗.
I was thinking that she might get suspicious about being followed. Dan should have started groping himself. That way she would think that it was just another weirdo in Cali and not the cops following her. 😄
Too bad that Tesla driver didn't hear Broderick's advice "No matter how new,your cars safest device is you" 58 years later still sage advice. Worlds best shot with that .38 snub nose. The days when "undercover" meant get your best fedora on and the shiniest car in the fleet. Then follow the suspect with the car 30 feet behind as she walks three blocks....
7:03, The lady tells Matthew's that the wife complains to her of the fact that her husband can't hold down a job and that she's tired of supporting him.
Griffith Park was the location of the final scenes. When Dan followed the woman, you can see The Maple Shop in the background. Anyone remember that and where it was?
*Highway Patrol* must like the tracks that are now owned by Union Pacific. In today's modern era in California, UP now has the lion's share of the tracks largely thanks to Southern Pacific which also had the lion's share of the tracks in the 1950s.
It’s a shame one of SP’s classic steamers that still runs won’t be seen in CA again. The Daylights in Portland and UP doesn’t allow any non-UP steam locomotives.
The Uniform Crime Report indicates that burglary or breaking and entering is by far the largest reported or detected felony, far exceeding robbery. The announcer indicated that robbery was most common, which is not true (thank goodness). Nevertheless, this historical rerun is fun to watch. Dan looks pretty snazzy in that Chrysler New Yorker; some undercover car. 😎
The diamond thieves should've driven away Rita's car with them and stashed it away somewhere. With Rita AND her car missing, Rita would be suspect and an APB would've been put out for her car. Dan Matthews and his HP would then waste their time trying to look for it. But with Rita's car abandoned right in front of the station, the police would immediately suspect she might've been kidnapped. But it seems funny when the Deputy drove to the station, he never even noticed Rita's car, which was parked right in front of him. A big blooper there!!!!
The car with white walls @ 23:56 is a 1958 Dodge Custom Royal Lancer 4-dr hardtop. The hubcap @ 24:05 is from a 1957 Mercury Montclair or Monterey as they both had the same caps. Dan definitely shot wide this time.
Yes ,he not only shot, A black wall tire,, And wrong car,,, But it showed their Back tire, It still had Air in it,,, Why didn't they just loosen the valve,, On the right One,,, 3 bloopers in a row,,,lol, Don't you love it,,, Doesn't take away from the show, 1,black wall tire,, ,,,,2, Wrong wheel cover,,, 3, Their tire wasn't flat,,
@@tomcarpenter700 So many mistakes in one episode! Also, after Dan shot out the black-wall tire on a car with white-walls he must have gone on break because he's nowhere in sight on the road when the other car arrives.
When I first saw this episode as a kid I just knew the blonde secretary was dishonest. In the series she wasn't the only one. Love how the kidnapped woman has the guts to stand up to them.
Dan gets shot at on just about every show. Hats were big back then. Even the crooks were a coat and tie. I remember those push button cars. I used to own a '59 Desoto. You shifted by pushing a button with your left hand. I like to watch this show for the old cars.
The New Yorker was not necessarily a Hemi car. I'm willing to bet the Desoto Firefight was. It was the top line sport model. I had a 55 Firedome, lime green and white.

One loose end: The lady left her car parked in front of the station. It might have been towed or ticketed. Matthews wants to go to Rita’s house before checking the station.
The crook gets shot in the heart and the cop who shot him attends to him with a first aid kit. Haha

The great gasoline and (double clutch/non-sycnro) manual trans, and chrome anbd silver car dashes!

17:15 Here, Dan barks the address "1729 Front Street" into the speaker. That's Ramanujan's famous taxi cab number, 1729. Much kudos to Highway Patrol!
We need cops like Dan Mathews more than ever nowadays.
No radio antennas on the patrol cars...
7:03, The lady tells Matthew's that the wife complains to her of the fact that her husband can't hold down a job and that she's tired of supporting him.

Griffith Park was the location of the final scenes. When Dan followed the woman, you can see The Maple Shop in the background. Anyone remember that and where it was?

You can see the difference between the Chrysler Torsion Air suspension and others. They don't bounce or rock.

11:35, " let me take care of her, she's getting under my skin, I can't stand it!"
This is actually "Jewel Robbery" from the fourth season.
Gem Robbery.
24:00, thats one thing that police officers are trained not to do today: fire their gun when theres a hostage in the line of fire.
Gray 4 door sedan......same car in an earlier episode except that was a 59 ford,not a parade float.
love it. I like how he shot out the tire. The tires were white walls and he shot out a black wall tire.
I like your comment. You are absolutely right! Bravo!
The car with white walls @ 23:56 is a 1958 Dodge Custom Royal Lancer 4-dr hardtop. The hubcap @ 24:05 is from a 1957 Mercury Montclair or Monterey as they both had the same caps. Dan definitely shot wide this time.
Yes ,he not only shot, A black wall tire,, And wrong car,,, But it showed their Back tire, It still had Air in it,,, Why didn't they just loosen the valve,, On the right One,,, 3 bloopers in a row,,,lol, Don't you love it,,, Doesn't take away from the show, 1,black wall tire,, ,,,,2, Wrong wheel cover,,, 3, Their tire wasn't flat,,
@@tomcarpenter700 So many mistakes in one episode! Also, after Dan shot out the black-wall tire on a car with white-walls he must have gone on break because he's nowhere in sight on the road when the other car arrives.
@@tralfazydan= Now you see me, now you don't,,,😂
Joan Granville . . easy on the eye ,also in the episode Women escapees
When I first saw this episode as a kid I just knew the blonde secretary was dishonest. In the series she wasn't the only one. Love how the kidnapped woman has the guts to stand up to them.
Dan gets shot at on just about every show. Hats were big back then. Even the crooks were a coat and tie. I remember those push button cars. I used to own a '59 Desoto. You shifted by pushing a button with your left hand. I like to watch this show for the old cars.
Wouldn’t the fact her car was still at the station be a clue?
Who is secretary? She's good actress
Dan Mathews the road block King.
@23:45 Mathews moves cat-like towards his objective
Mountain. Goat mathews
If she didn't notice Matthews in that big Beautiful black Imperial 20 feet from the phone booth or him following her, she deserves to get caught
Mathews revolver has the muzzle velocity of a slingshot, and couldn't hit the wall of a barn from inside the barn.
According to the IMDB, this was the one and only screen credit Norma Wayne (she played the kidnapped secretary Rita Hudson) ever had. I wonder why?
The New Yorker was not necessarily a Hemi car. I'm willing to bet the Desoto Firefight was. It was the top line sport model. I had a 55 Firedome, lime green and white.
18:12 What the hell?! He hits the car. You're gonna have to pay for that pal! ..Hahaha
Nobody hit a car. Whatchoo talkin bout?
An awesome episode, though, one of the most violent ones I have seen, those robbers were real hoods
Glendale!
i love the big mopars
Glendale Depot..opening sequence
Grey hair turns into white hair, and it turns out it’s black
Title is wrong. This is s4 ep19 Gem Robbery
R they all driving the same kind of car??
Plymouths, Dodges, Chryslers and Imperials of the fifties have many parts in common and make them look alike at times. Front windshields to name one.
