used to see this great series in syndication in the early 1960s. I'm 68 so some episodes were before my time. Wish MeTv would show those with the original commercials for the time
It's driving me Crazy !!!!! What year, make, and model car is it that Blackie is Cruising around in ???? It is WAAAAY Cool. I'm pretty good with older cars, but, this one stumps me. Wicked lines and curves !!!!
@NPCs U Can’t Laugh _____ Bahahaha The car in the Boston Blackie movies was built on a Ford frame and driveline the one in the TV series was likely built out of a willys.There is a lot of back and forth but what clouds the issue is that there were two separate cars.
These cars were custom built by an independent shop. There was a fad in the post war years for custom cars that mirrored European sports cars. There’s information on the internet about them.
The Motorcycle Kid, Season 2, Episode 25, aired 3 April 1953. Kent Taylor as Boston Blackie, Frank Orth as Inspector Faraday, Lois Collier as Mary Wesley, Sandy Sanders as Nick Vincent, Gloria Talbott as Peggy Davis, Wheaton Chambers as C.A. Vincent, Harry Brown as the Grocery Store Owner.
He took a dollar from his dad to buy a pack of cigarettes and a couple gallons of gas. In the day he could buy a pack of cigarettes for 20 cents and get 80 cents change from a dollar. One quarter could buy 5 cokes or 5 Hershey bars. Those quarters were made of silver (90%). Today a silver quarter sells for $2.50 when you buy them online in quantity.
@@auggie803: There was NO online in the 50s. That was about half a century before online existed Cigarettes were 15c a pack in the early 50s, then 16c around 1956, 18c by 1960
I was 9 years old in 1953 and clearly remember Boston Blackie broadcast out of Houston. I have many of the DVD's now.

It is so weird to be watching a series about someone named Boston Blackie when the backdrop is obviously California.
Blackie: about your car. Get rid of it. It doesn't suit you.
Sandy Sanders (Nick Vincent) and Gloria Talbott (Peggy Davis) were married three years after this epidode aired (27 June 1956 - 1965) ( divorced).

I got 6 candy bars for a quarter in the 50s.

First heard of Boston Blackie in a Jimmy Buffet song. (pencil thin mustache)
When only jazz musicians were smokin’ marijuana.
Ricky Ricardo , too.
haha no, Ricky was part of my daily tv watching routine for years.
Blackie , that`s one ugly car you're driving . You look better on that bus than in your car .
Why does it say Can't Be Played In The Background ??
Wow, if robberies we're that easy today as they were then I think I would have been a crook.
