my favorite Highway Patrol episode. Remember seeing this episode when this was a new show back in the late 50’s. Nobody like Broderick Crawford! Watch him as the bad guy in “The fastest gun alive” with Glenn Ford as your hero.
" We don't wanna attract attention". Then proceeds to run a red light in a fully customized, supercharged(?), totally modified hot rod! Nobody would notice?
I liked them myself, watching them in syndicated reruns in the 1960's. Did you notice in the final credits "audo supervisor Quinn Martin"? Do you suppose that's the same chap who produced "The FBI" and several other detective shows?
The law states if you hit and kill some one while driving, and some one is with you, that person is as guilty as you are. So, if his pal didn't get shot at the end, he'd join his friend in the pen. " Clowns are funny in the circus, the ones on the highway, not so funny. Drive carefully , .........until next time."
@@johnandrew1727 The one in this episode is a 1932 Ford 'Roadster', customized (chopped, channeled, nosed, decked, shaved, wishbones, exhaust cutouts, OHV V8), with two carburetors. For all the dialogue about superchargers, however, the 'hotrod' shown ( 8:14 ) does not have one at all.
Just who the heck was he? He wasn't Chief, Lieutenant, just Mr. Matthews. Maybe a commissioner? And it must have been Rhode Island because the size of the state isn't very big. Except that Rhode Island doesn't have deserts and mountains from the wild west.
The 32 Duece Roadster is still around. it was lifted back up (unchanelled )in 1970 and fitted with Ford Flathead. It's the same car as shown being flipped in the '56 Movie, Hot Rod Girl .
Filmed in an area of Moorpark, Camarillo, south of Ventura, Ca? Great old shows. I was a youngster, back then. These shows remind me of the time our family would watch TV in the backyard on warm summer nights. So Cal.

When looking at these Highway Patrol episodes from the 1950s, one aspect strikes me: The productions have an aura of being theatrical plays that are done outdoors.
The road they're on looks to be Devonshire Blvd in the San Fernando Valley at that time. It was lined with the Eucalyptus trees for miles like a tunnel. I used to drive it late at night with a cup of coffee and the radio going . If it's not, then it's one of the many roads that had the Eucalyptus that were so prevalent back then.

Gotta say, that thing sure sounded good. Reminded me of large, tuned pipes. Even though those tires were, uhm, ... well, the roadster seemed to handle very well. I just haven't gotten used to all the tire screeching on sand and dirt in these shows.
Even today, criminals don't seem to realize that radio signals travel at the speed of light, which is 600 million meters per second. That is much faster than 130 miles per hour.

I can’t help but thinking..my first car, a 1964 Pontiac GTO, Sliver Gray, Black Vinyl Bucket seats, duel exhaust, big 389 up front..man, what I give to get that one back..had the car until 1975..no air, no FM radio, installed an 8 track..that’s the way it was..great!
I like the 1956 Pontiac Star Chief, 4 door hardtop sedan with V-8 engine which delivers 227 horsepower, known as the Stratostreak. It features fender skirts as the original accessory, two tone paint, and wide whitewall tires. Fender skirts came as early as 1933 with fenders are skirted fenders through the early 1990s, such as Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham.
.......like his public service announcements at the end. Most of em still apply today. Between watchin this when I was little then later CHiPs, Emergency, Adam 12 and SWAT I've spent over 35yrs doin all this stuff. Damnit. Shuda been a cowboy.
Well i learned some thing. The Dynaflow transmission in that buick works the same as a Hydramatic you'd find in an Olds you have to roll forward a bit to get it in reverse. You'll see that at the end of the show. They have no park position & the shift pattern is odd. I get to drive a 49 Olds once and a while and you need to learn to leave room ahead of you if you want to back up. That motor in the roadster is an Olds Rocket. (big breather up front dist in back) could be twin carters "not sure" too big to be strombergs
Hey, did Dan put the patrol car in Drive by mistake momentarily before changing to Reverse right there at the end lol?! They must have filmed that scene in the afternoon, if you know what I mean.
I think we all know what you mean. He had time to go get himself a sandwich, made with wholesome bread, then commit adultery with the nearest farm woman, return to the car, get in, drive forward, then reverse. Sharp. Real sharp.
Truck drivers did, Detroit Diesel came out with their 2 stroke diesel in 1938 that was the first mass produced engines that used blowers . A very distinct sound, especially without mufflers
Looks like Valley Circle at the edge of Chatsworth, CA, a favorite spot with the movie ranches nearby. Several episodes were filmed in that area throughout the series. More than likely Devonshire Street that had the various diners.
The "last job" diner was at the NE corner of Saticoy & Balboa in Van Nuys. It was Jeb's Diner, now iirc a Thai restaurant. Monahan's bar can be seen across the street. The buildings are still there.
@@loumontcalm3500 Cool! I see it on Google Maps street view. The bar building is on the southeast corner on Saticoy, correct? I'll drive by tomorrow for sure. One episode I was able to see a street sign and they were on Valley Circle near Saticoy. All orchards, like this episode.
@@loumontcalm3500 I drove over there today and am miffed. The northeast corner of Saticoy and Balboa is a relatively modern corner mini-mall with a Fatburger on the Saticoy side. The hotrod was definitely parked right there on Saticoy facing the wrong direction. My guess is that the building was there prior to the mini-mall, but you say that both buildings are still standing.
@@jeffsiegel4879 wow! The Monahan bar building on the south side with the slanting sign is still there? I used to live close to there, didn't know they tore down that corner. There was a bar on that side too, and Van Nuys auto wrecking was east where that big building sits. Sad. Next time I'm in that area I'll go by.
Always good to use a get a way vehicle that blends right in with all the other cars...oh wait. PS I just checked, $20,000 in 1955 would be the same as $235,000 today. That first robbery could have lasted them many years, but that guy got greedy.
The eucalyptus trees were planted as windbreaks for the orange trees. They grew up, but when they were young, they were bushy and protected the young orange trees from the wind.
I was pullin' for those two guys ...that is, until they mowed down that sweet innocent l'il old lady who just happened to be standing in the middle of the street...🤣🤣🤣
I remember seeing this episode when I was ten years old. I didn't know anything about superchargers, and neither did the producers!

Fender skirts came as early as 1933 with fenders are skirted fenders through the early 1990s, such as Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham.
I like the '55 but that's splittin' hairs, you can't go wrong with either one
.......like his public service announcements at the end. Most of em still apply today. Between watchin this when I was little then later CHiPs, Emergency, Adam 12 and SWAT I've spent over 35yrs doin all this stuff. Damnit. Shuda been a cowboy.
Well i learned some thing. The Dynaflow transmission in that buick works the same as a
Hydramatic you'd find in an Olds you have to roll forward a bit to get it in reverse.
You'll see that at the end of the show.
They have no park position & the shift pattern is odd.
I get to drive a 49 Olds once and a while
and you need to learn to leave room ahead of you if you want to back up.
That motor in the roadster is an Olds Rocket. (big breather up front dist in back)
could be twin carters "not sure" too big to be strombergs
Regardless ..... that little roadster sure sounded sweet!
Hey, did Dan put the patrol car in Drive by mistake momentarily before changing to Reverse right there at the end lol?! They must have filmed that scene in the afternoon, if you know what I mean.
I’ll drink to that!
I think we all know what you mean. He had time to go get himself a sandwich, made with wholesome bread, then commit adultery with the nearest farm woman, return to the car, get in, drive forward, then reverse. Sharp. Real sharp.
@@umarkedreturn8776 I think so!
Mr. Hot Rod didn't know how to be kind to his gearbox, you could hear the grinding every time he shifted.
I really enjoy watching these shows! So good! Thank you for uploading this episode! Love that hot rod!
in 1956 nobody outside the dragracing circle or the airforce knew what a supercharger was.
"she's my little deuce coupe, you don't know what I got."
Truck drivers did, Detroit Diesel came out with their 2 stroke diesel in 1938 that was the first mass produced engines that used blowers . A very distinct sound, especially without mufflers
Or general motors, or mineshaft workers lol.
Looks like Valley Circle at the edge of Chatsworth, CA, a favorite spot with the movie ranches nearby. Several episodes were filmed in that area throughout the series. More than likely Devonshire Street that had the various diners.
must have been cool then, what is it like now
The "last job" diner was at the NE corner of Saticoy & Balboa in Van Nuys. It was Jeb's Diner, now iirc a Thai restaurant. Monahan's bar can be seen across the street. The buildings are still there.
@@loumontcalm3500 Cool! I see it on Google Maps street view. The bar building is on the southeast corner on Saticoy, correct? I'll drive by tomorrow for sure. One episode I was able to see a street sign and they were on Valley Circle near Saticoy. All orchards, like this episode.
@@loumontcalm3500 I drove over there today and am miffed. The northeast corner of Saticoy and Balboa is a relatively modern corner mini-mall with a Fatburger on the Saticoy side. The hotrod was definitely parked right there on Saticoy facing the wrong direction. My guess is that the building was there prior to the mini-mall, but you say that both buildings are still standing.
@@jeffsiegel4879 wow! The Monahan bar building on the south side with the slanting sign is still there? I used to live close to there, didn't know they tore down that corner. There was a bar on that side too, and Van Nuys auto wrecking was east where that big building sits. Sad.
Next time I'm in that area I'll go by.
LONG LIVE THE GREAT BRODERICK CRAWFORD..............
a radio wave travels at 186 thousands miles per second. Hard to out run that
The credits at the end identified the blonde girl as a former Miss San Francisco, Barbara Eden.
Wrong episode, 237. She was in the last one or maybe one before that. Recent anyway, so to speak. She was a doll, alright.
I still dream of Genie.
Genie still looks pretty good today.
That windshield ,I can't believe would keep anything out of the eyes
Anyone ever noticed how they speed the film up on some seens to make things look faster than it really is.
don`t u say, Sherlock
"I floored it , got it up to 130 !" as he picks bugs out of his teeth, and fixes his hair.
They didn't have the technology back then like they do now for making films
Everything but his walk.... Then the put the guys in a car they barely fit into.....squeezing tires on dirt...
No way😂😂😂😂😂
That's a first gen Chysler Hemi! While it doesnt have a supercharger like Brodrick says , its damn fast for the day.
Damn hot rodders!
Always good to use a get a way vehicle that blends right in with all the other cars...oh wait. PS I just checked, $20,000 in 1955 would be the same as $235,000 today. That first robbery could have lasted them many years, but that guy got greedy.
"Just one more job." --- famous last words.
I use to see it in Cuba back in 1958 I was 5 love it, good to see California the way it use to be
That crook could have made good money honestly with his skill as a mechanic and not worried about being arrested.
When times were simpler...
Brings back fond memories of my youth as a juvenile delinquent.
Their getaway car is a hot rod that can be spotted from hundreds of miles like a sore thumb!
The eucalyptus trees were planted as windbreaks for the orange trees. They grew up, but when they were young, they were bushy and protected the young orange trees from the wind.
tom7601 thanks was wondering what those beauties were
@@utube012341 Highly flammable.
Now only trunks to protect the orange trees, lol.
love these i was just a kid when they were on
"We don't want to attract any attention" The runs the crap out of the red light.
Gee , hope they will blame some kids at the soda fountain for this crime. They got hot rods.
I noticed blowing that red light on the first job.
Brilliant,Video,Thanks,For,SharingIt
Highway Patrol: Season 2, Episode 7
Hot Rod (19 Nov. 1956)
thanks!
I was 10 months old when this was filmed. Kind of scary to think it's way back in the middle of last century!
The driver of the car with a flat tire should have pulled off into the bushes and change the flat🤞
The one way this convertible stands out, from all the massive Detroit iron in the show, is by the sound and it's engine modification? LOL
Did you see the license plate? Love it.
Hi Barney, this is Andy. I too thought is was hilarious, like how were you going to see the license plate when it was going so fast?
@@George50809 He noticed it before it got too far
I was about 6 when this episode was on. My granddad had an Oldsmobile like Crawfords.
Anyone know where I can get an invisible supercharger ? LOL!
Try your local church. They have an invisible man in the sky so they might have an invisible supercharger also.
Jeff B You can buy an invisible supercharger from the invisible supercharger shop.
It was a four speed dual quad posi-traction 409
Holly wood Man 😎! Haha
Louis Edwards Actually Jesus Christ was the visible version. It was his father who was invisible
I was pullin' for those two guys ...that is, until they mowed down that sweet innocent l'il old lady who just happened to be standing in the middle of the street...🤣🤣🤣
Nope! twin carb single throat.. Nothing fancy. Sure wouldn't mind having it =) Vrooom!
Two deuces!
