If you are a Mopar fan like myself I recommend"The Beverly Hillbillies" and "Mannix". Even as a kid watching these shows I couldn't wait to see the cars. Guess I was born a car nut and still am.
It's really remarkable that there were so many motor vehicles seen in a comedy series about farm life filmed almost entirely on a soundstage. In the roughly 70 hours total of Green Acres, less than five minutes of footage was shot outdoors, or roughly 0.12%.
The voice generator gives a pretty good imitation of Eddie Albert's voice, but the Eva Gabor voice is wide of the mark. But it's still very enjoyable! Thanks for posting these! You've devoted a lot of time putting these together and I thank you!
Yes the voice imitators are great for the all these videos. I think the problem with Lisa's voice is that her accent is so thick it's probably difficult to replicate it.
Oliver's tractor was a Hoyt-Clagwell, (played by Fordson, uncredited). Hoyt-Clagwell went out of business 40 years ago, (nearly 100 years now), when Mrs. Hoyt and Mrs. Clagwell couldn't get along.
Another GREAT Video! I don’t know how you do it with the voice overs, but they sound pretty close to the original actors! Thanks again, and please give us some more!!!! 👍👍👍
Close ups of the Lincoln filmed in studio had windshield removed and body coated ti avoid glare from studio lights. Same for studio shots of cars on Beverly Hillbillies
We had an affiliated independent channel in Connecticut that had partial rights to these classics but they didn't air the show with episode one, and abruptly yanked it off the programming list...it was FRUSTRATING...the one that upset me the MOST was when they pulled the Andy Griffith Show when I was TWO weeks before headn' off to basic training in '85.😢... I'm enjoying ALL this nostalgia nowadays in my retirement... DRUNK, and lonely 😢... meow MEOW!!!
Well done research ! A few of those brand new cars paint looked pretty dull … I believe a temporary coating was applied to the paint as well to the chrome and windows to block out glare from the camera lights. It worked but made the cars look less appealing
I noticed that in their retrospective of cars from The Beverly Hillbillies, as well - in fact sometimes the paint's shine would change from scene to scene 🙂
@@voicetube yes. It’s obvious that even windshields were removed …Some sitcoms from that era didn’t have that issue. Especially if it was filmed outdoors And even in studio filming equipment … Bewitched for example. The vehicles always looked factory fresh and gleaming
I wonder if the American La France fire truck was owned by Ward Kimball, Disney animator and trumpet player for the Firehouse Five Plus Two. He was an avid collector of old fire trucks and equipment. It wouldn’t be the first time one of his collection was featured in a tv show or film
It’s interesting how many of the farmers have tractors of recent vintage while many of their other vehicles are much older. I’m sure that an attraction to Hooterville for O.W. Douglas, in addition to the opportunity to farm, was the convenience of leaving the top down on his Lincoln and not having any reason whatsoever to worry about theft or vandalism when it is parked outside Drucker’s store! He knew he couldn’t do that in Manhattan. 😂
The narrators voice is uncanny in resemblance to Eddie Albert. Please inform us if this is a natural voice or something modified to be incredibly similar. How about a video of the narrator talking? Who is the narrator?
What I would like to know is the tractor he's riding is a John Deere GP what happened to this tractor? Id love to own it the tractor in the show is a fordson it's funny how they always have it falling apart.
I've read that they actually used three different tractors during the production, the Fordson, a JohnDeere maybe early model D, and 15-20 McCormick. Of course they all were HoytClagwell
The black Ford Custom at the end was a 1970, not a 1969. You can tell by the front side marker lights which on this car were just a light. In 69 they had a tag next to the light showing engine size (351, 390 or 429) or just a crown design if 240, 302 or 428PI.
If it's not a chevrolet, I dont consider it a classic car. What the hell can I do? What kind of hell can I do? That's just way my brain works. It has to be a chevrolet. That's just me.

I used to envy Miz Drysdale riding around in that Chrysler Imperial.🤭
Lisa's hotcakes really do make good head gaskets.
Head baskets!
The 1963 sheriff car looks like the same car used in the Andy Griffith Show.
CGI narration duplication of Eddie Albert and Zsa Zsa Gabor is great, added touch.

great fords, mercs, and lincolns. Although they all look dulled down to avoid too much reflection
Yup they even removed windshields to kill studio lights. Glare
Funny how they moved out to the sticks, but seem to still have a brand new luxury convertible each season! Haha!
I assume they’re living on Lisa’s money.

Thank you for your work sharing these. Back when life seemed simpler. I enjoy this... appreciate you.
The yellow hot rod pick up at the beginning, is the same one used in Happy Days and driven by Donny Most aka Ralph Malph
I spotted that car immediately
cool. I've never seen it anywhere else but happy days
I have seen a few of your great videos and I am impressed of how well they are put together 😎
Well they forgot to mention my favorite vehicle. The John Deere "GP" tractor Oliver rides up on in the opening theme!
Do more of these vids, you got a great concept here. B.t.w. Eva Gabor was married more times that John Wayne could shoot without reloading. Lol
This was a lot of work. I love it.
My favorite nonthinking tv show. I missed my calling. Im a real life Mr Haney/Douglas
Back to Beautiful memories,,, thank you
Oliver's tractor was a Hoyt-Clagwell, (played by Fordson, uncredited). Hoyt-Clagwell went out of business 40 years ago, (nearly 100 years now), when Mrs. Hoyt and Mrs. Clagwell couldn't get along.
One of the partners went into the wax fruit business over to Pixley
Another GREAT Video! I don’t know how you do it with the voice overs, but they sound pretty close to the original actors! Thanks again, and please give us some more!!!! 👍👍👍
So fun , Thank you . Such Good Humor
Looks like Oliver was buying a Lincoln every year ! , '65 , '66 , and '67 !!!!!.
8:41 Looks like the Mayberry Sheriff star on the door of that '63 Galaxie.
The iconic theme song is playing in my head right now, sung by Eddie Albert. Waiting for Mr Haney to pull a quick one... Hilarious show.🇺🇸

I've been watching these vintage comedy shows since 1970s 😅
One of the gold Mercurys shows up at a local car show.
Great well thought out program….Green Acres Thanks Fusion Kidd !
13:38 1970 Ford Custom. The side marker light is the give away.
7:56 That '46 Ford wagon also appeared in the 1975 movie _Crazy Mama_ driven by Donny Most.
10:12 You are not fooling me by covering the CALIFORNIA script on that plate. I know my black and yellow plates.
So much detail. Knowing the red truck was a '65 when the only difference with a '66 is the side emblem.
Grills are different,66 has a one year only grill design.
Very cool content. This car series you’ve put together is really enjoyable
13:34 Al Lewis 🙂
Whenever I see the notification of new video Fusion Kidd I make sure I watch it! I hope you enough material for some time!😎
Great video of a very funny show, I loved as a kid! And still do!
I like the 1967 Ford Bronco that Mr. Kimball drives. 8:56
Fantastic video
American Cars.... riveting
That last line killed me.
11:22 - also used in Happy Days.
And a desert race scene in one of the Herbie movies. Supposedly the flames were done by Von Dutch.

Fun trivia- Oliver's tractor's fictional brand was a "Hoyt-Clagwell".
I bet that 63 Ford Galaxie Squad Car is from Andy Griffith.
Lisa made “hots cakes” by cutting them out of a solid rectangular pancake by using a pot lid. The remaining piece is a perfect head gasket.
Well done research ! A few of those brand new cars paint looked pretty dull … I believe a temporary coating was applied to the paint as well to the chrome and windows to block out glare from the camera lights. It worked but made the cars look less appealing
Alot was to prevent camera flare and windshields were removed to prevent glare too

@@renesagahon4477 as cams land filters got. Better that happened less look at old Hawaii 5. 0. Eps they used BLACK GAFFERS TAPE ON CHROMED

Mr. Haney was in the Hopalong Cassidy TV show
Lisa making a head gasket out of one of her hot cakes LOL🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Interesting that Oliver Douglas's Lincoln is both a 1965 and a 1966
Most of these were current models when I watched the show
Have you done a video on Mannix yet?
That would be cool!
I wonder what Fred Zipphel and his wife drove? I’m dying to know.😮
At 13:50 that was the real Miss Eva Gabor doing the Filmways ID.
Ralph Mouth of Happy Days must’ve bought the Yellow 29 A model Roadster from Cathy’s boyfriend .
I suppose Hooterville only had a Ford dealership and if you wanted to buy anything GM or Mopar you'd have to go all the way to Pixley.
I'm guessing that Ford was a sponsor.
@@OldsVistaCruiserthis is the first time I remember seeing Mr.Kimble in a Jeep, he always had a Bronco...
no dealers in Hooterville, and Pixley only had a Ford dealer and a Lincoln-Mercury dealer.
0:31 It is odd they would leave the California plate on that Lincoln.
Fancy seeing you here on this channel.
@@Richard-or2km Well it is car related. I enjoy the recreated voices as well.
Yes, their farm was in Illinois!😮
Wow, looks like beach-party extra Piccola Pupa sitting in front of the classroom.
This was very good. I remember this program fondly. Can you do Highway Patrol?
10:37 Why didn't you call it a 1967 Lehmann-Peterson Lincoln Limousine, like it should be called?
Who is the lady at 9:41,she looks soo familiar.
11:21 this is Rusty Hamer from the tv show Make Room for Daddy.
When these shows were new, these cars weren't classic cars, they were just cars.
They drop down from a Lincoln to a Mercury by the '70s !.

Grandpa Munster at 13:34. (Al Lewis)
I missed that the Lincoln is also a 1967
@4:53 lol, on Lisa's hot cakes replacement head gasket...nice try!
i like 1960s lincoln continental 4 door convertible.
Why would they keep buying a Lincoln convertible year after year?
Brand loyalty? They did change to a Mercury Marquis later.
@@Dallas_K That is because Lincoln stopped making a convertible, and it is the same brand, Ford Motor Company.
how many of you can sing the theme song from memory?
What state was hooterville in ? 📺
Illinois
@randywatts6969 I never heard them mention a state on the show. They never had winter or cold weather on the show.
It's Ford Galaxy, not Galaxie.😮
It really is Galaxie. Unless they spelled it wrong on my car. 🤯
@@loyalUSguy My apologies. You are correct.
In the opening Oliver is driving a different tractor. It has rubber tires and the tractor he usually seen using has steel wheels. Why the discrepancy?
Steel wheels dont get flats... They just get stuck in the middle with you! LMAO!!!
What about Dr. Stuart's car? Did I miss it?

Farmhand Eb Dawson!
The 1963 Ford police car is a Ford 300, not a Galaxie.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love the recreation of Eddie's speaking voice...Eva's...not so much.
1966 Ford Bronco in good condition could be worth as much as a brand-new Ford Bronco in good condition :-)
Most people don't know Ted Cruz was Mr. HANEY.
The last car was a 1970 Ford Custom, not a '69.
you will have your work cut out for you when you do CHiPs. LOL
some real classic cars Rolls Royce, Lincoln Continental erc..but the true "classy chassis" is Eva Gabor!
What I would like to know is the tractor he's riding is a John Deere GP what happened to this tractor? Id love to own it the tractor in the show is a fordson it's funny how they always have it falling apart.

The John Deere is a GP not a model D I collect John Deere tractors. it would be great to know where that tractor is now.
The black Ford Custom at the end was a 1970, not a 1969. You can tell by the front side marker lights which on this car were just a light. In 69 they had a tag next to the light showing engine size (351, 390 or 429) or just a crown design if 240, 302 or 428PI.
he said Ava - it's Eva
That’s Lisa without an accent.
All of the vehicles not manufactured by the Ford Motor Company are from the 1930s and older 🤣
That ‘66 Continental 4 dr convertible (Oliver must have gone to town to trade in the ‘65 after the first season) was the 💩dizzle.
Funny comedy shows 😅
If it's not a chevrolet, I dont consider it a classic car. What the hell can I do? What kind of hell can I do? That's just way my brain works. It has to be a chevrolet. That's just me.
Seek help ASAP.
@JamesCarterJr. Been there done that. They told me, friends, don't let friends drive Fords
@@mistervacation23 who are "they" you're talking about?
@JamesCarterJr. The psychiatrist.
First!
The male voice sounds just like Oliver 's
Who is the female narrator??? it doesnt sound like eva.
Primarily Ford products.
There are some really ugly cars in this.
Beverly Hillbillys was good, but this show sucked
