One of the great things about this show and any other show from the late 40s and 50s is to see future great stars and character actors before they were big.
The guy that was painting those cars so fast served 5 years in prison. After his release he started a car painting business. His name was Earl Schieb....
If I'm not mistaken, the man who played the ringleader of the car theft crew was also in those Clint Eastwood (Which Way) films, as a bumbling motorcycle gang member. Very good actor!
Clint Eastwood was definitely in another episode as a biker who had a gun pulled on him by a cafe owner. Can't remember the episode number. He was very low in the credits at the time..
Rodolfo Hoyos gets special billing in the credits here ... he had a long and successful career in films and TV. Isn't it AMAZING how Dan Mathews covers SO MUCH territory in California ? ( even though I think they were not ID'ing the location as more than " a western state in the U.S. " )
It was presented as a generic Highway Patrol in Anytown, USA, but was filmed almost entirely (if not entirely) within the Thirty Mile Zone, outside of which the production company (ZIV) would have been obligated to pay 'location fee' per diems to everyone on set. There are often very recognizable buildings, businesses, street signs and such visible that still exist in the Los Angeles area; particularly Hollywood, the San Fernando Valley, and (then) rural areas to the North and West.
This series is a festival! An apology for the American automobile of the late 1950s! A real treat. 😘And the stories are always good, the dialogues fair or hard-hitting. THANKS 🥰

Kenny Savoy His name is William O' Connell. He was also in Every Which Way But Loose/Any Which Way You Can, High Plains Drifter, Outlaw Jose Wales, The Culpepper Cattle Company, and boatload of TV shows. He has a very distinctive face. This is the first episode of Highway Patrol that Ive seen that had a celebrity guest star that I recognize.

there is an episode called, motorcycle a, with Clint Eastwood, but can't find it, there is another one called motorcycle b, that is around, but would like to see the Eastwood one
Yes it is! The bio of Crawford for the show is funny too..they had to do all the dialoque in the morning cause Crawford was getting too hamered in the afternoon..even with that they could not shoot scenes on paved roads in the afternoons as well...that is why there is so many scenes on rural roads...have a great day!
That's correct, he had so many DWI's he had his DL suspeneded most of the time. A lot of theose roads are PRIVATE roads, no dl requird, in many of the episodes he rides "Shotgun" I have seen him ride in the Back seat and get out on the left at least ONE to make it kinda look like he was driving. His Drinking buddy was Lon Chaney jr. they used to get drunk and go out to the studio;s and get "run off" for being drunk and bullying some of the people out there. Quite a handful they say Crawford was. BB
+Michael Hollier Yeah, Broderick Crawford loved the booze and food! I still love him in this! There's a movie called The Mob. He plays a cop infiltrating the New York dock corruption. Its good!
I always noticed that the driver always exited and entered the car on the passenger door side in most of the TV movies that were produced during this time and year, why is that?
Great episode, when i was a kid the '58 Chevy's & Fords were all over the place. Everyday was a car show everywhere. The '58 Fords were essentially the '57 Fords with a facelift.
No, not smog yet.The smog didn't start until the 60's were well on their way.It was cool air from the pacific. Notice also all the birds? Those are gone now along with everything else.
@@donhancock332 You are entirely wrong. Learn some actual history. Smog - called by that name, was a major political issue in Los Angeles of the 1940s and 50s. Use of backyard incinerators (visible in several HP episodes) was banned in October of 1957 in an effort to reduce smog. Where ever do you get your idiotic notions about "the birds" and "everything else"? Do you just make it up as you go along?
Hypnotic ...not necessarily, saw a lot of those old tanks , smushed like an aluminum can , or wrapped around a telephone pole like a tootsie roll , and the people torn to pieces , or crushed beyond recognition. They were bigger , more personality , but didn’t take a wreck as good as the cars of today. Plus most had no seatbelts, and lots of other safety features like today . But they sure looked good .
Behind the license! the plates folded down to reveal the gas cap! The gas tanks were located in the rear of the cars back then that's why there were so may fires occurring on rear-end accidents!
@socal rocks Damn right.....illegal is ILLEGAL....why don't you get that? Do you leave your doors open at night? Of course not!! Is it because you HATE the people outside or LOVE your people inside?? GET REAL!!! We want and NEED that wall...ASAP!!
Beautiful American cars designed with art and class in mind today are designed for cheap, cut corners to save fuel and to make the automaker more more and more money.
These are very entertaining shows, even after 60 years, but totally unrealistic even by the standards of the 1950s. For example, at 24:08, see "Dan Matthews" recklessly shoot his revolver in frighteningly-close proximity to the back of the Mexican cop. Such a maneuver must surely break any number of police protocols in the use of firearms, and would no doubt subject the officer to disciplinary action and perhaps even dismissal for endangering the life of a fellow cop. But, what the heck! Watching these characters at work is great fun. Broderick Crawford will forever be identified with the gruff, no-nonsense Dan Matthews.
Hollywood script writers do a horrible job of firearm safety. In fact, "Monkey see, monkey do" is no way to inspire safe handling of firearms. Some of the biggest stars can't properly control deadly weapons. Remember, these characters are actors!
Anybody can spray paint on a car but whoever taped off that chrome & glass was an artist.How to identify new paint??? You can smell it for 100 feet and there would be bugs embedded in the hood paint.
Gun Fight At The OK Corral with 7 shot six shooters and a smoke bomb shot gun...............Just when I think Ive seen Dan at his best...he gets better !
Yes, every two years YOU have holes in the exhaust so you need a new one and in the big cities you can't see the sun because of the smog... If that shit is heaven for you...
@@-oiiio-3993 Not really, the original exhaust on a new car lasted a little longer, up to five years. The spare parts from the retrofitter, even from Eberspächter, only lasted two to three years. That was definitely intentional, there was something in the sheet steel that promoted rapid wear. You could almost always be sure, driving flat out on the freeway and the exhaust was light gray on the inside from the lead content in the fuel and it was almost certainly leaking as well. One can hardly imagine today. I then bought a Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.0 Sportline with a regulated 3-way catalytic converter in 1991 as a new car and the original exhaust lasted eleven years. I always drive my new cars for a very long time, you can't save more money. In 2007, I had a total write-down accident with the Mercedes by rolling over after deer crossing a federal highway in West Germany at night and then replaced this vehicle with a new Volvo V70 D5, which I still own today. This diesel with soot filter still has the original exhaust completely installed, after more than 15 years. Something like that was completely unimaginable in the 70s and early 80s. When I was a kid in the mid-1970s, I watched my father replace various exhaust parts on our 1970 Ford Taunus. The work was repeated every two to three years. The crowning glory was exhaust gum, a type of rubber compound from a British manufacturer intended to permanently seal holes in the exhaust. This material was probably not suitable for West German traffic and West German driving speeds. After two days the crap was gone...

+John Steed The other other real joke (besides Crawford's well documented drinking problem) are those ridiculous 1950's era cars. Two tons of steel and built to look like outer space, extraterrestrial vehicles. With body panels and fenders that were nearly 3/16ths of an inch thick. Anyone one of them could crush a modern Japanese car of today. ... .It was an era that had gone plumb crazy. From fads to architecture. Same decade that introduced Richard Nixon to the world political stage. A time of excess. Excessive craziness that is.
Jorge Callico , you even seen a little kid get hit by one of those cars 🚘? Sometimes the kids would jump up without a scratch, LOL, the video game children of today can’t handle falling off a bicycle.
I'm not sure their word "by" at the end of a radio transmission was short for "good bye"....I think it was short for something else like "standing by for further instruction." Just a thought.....
Sweet sounding V-8’s in some of those cars. Kind of boring but best of all the “6” (00) shot revolvers. Nice radial engined aircraft taking off around 21:35 maybe Van Nuys lots of filming around (and on) that airport.
@David Soltai: "All those cars went to Cuba" ... and if you wish to see them once again, you simply need to watch the Ry Cooder/Wim Wenders documentary CUBA, THE OPEN AIR VINTAGE U.S. CAR MUSEUM a.k.a. BUENA VISTA SOCIAL CLUB. The cars are still functioning whereas (not only) Cuban socialism never functioned for a single day in history. Only socialists and outright communists who are living in capitalist countries, though, keep hailing it (being covertly grateful that their abode is somewhere else). BTW Allegedly, this film is also about music (grin).
That’s the dude who played in Clint Eastwoods movies. “Every Which Way But Loose” and “The Outlaw Josey Wales”. His name is William O’Connell. He and the lady partner are still alive as of May 2023 according to IMDB.
From The Washington Post, June 1990, "Estimates of the number of stolen U.S. cars that wind up in Mexico range as high as 20,000 a year, of which "hundreds" are said to be in the possession of the federal police."
You have to love during the shootout how the cops all group together in a nice fat target area. Apparently the phrase "spread out" wasn't invented until a few years later during the TV "Western" craze.
Good old Dan he always had at least 15 rounds in his 6 shot, and was determined to kill any criminal regardless of stray bullets hitting any passers by. Looks like here he was firing off like a mad man in all directions even like there wouldn't have been anyone within a half mile range
Before when he went into Mexico, he worked with a captain. This character is listed as a sergeant in the credits. Can't tell if it's the same actor. Good character though. Good use of tear gas. Lob it right in front the enclosed area and let it drift in.
Dan really gets around California. Every time there's a crime anywhere in the state, he's right there!
Yeah, that's why he is so well compensated.
And like Uncle Jessie,Daisy and Cooter no matter how far awaythe crook is that's driving away from him he'll be right behind them in 5 minutes.
One of the great things about this show and any other show from the late 40s and 50s is to see future great stars and character actors before they were big.
True!
"Wish they'd of stolen my car. It needs a paint job!"
"Wish they'd stolen my car. It needs a new paint job!" - Dan Mathews always gets in the last word. LOL!
And today everyone is trying to get the attention. Created a monster, TV
That paintjob comment at the end...Magnifique!
The guy that was painting those cars so fast served 5 years in prison. After his release he started a car painting business. His name was Earl Schieb....
LOL ! any car $29.95 back then ! man those were the days !
OK, but how many hours of work did one have to put in back then to earn $29.95?
And how many does one have to put in nowadays to offset a paint job?

“Mexico City, that would be the place, they’re looking for small cars down there.” There are no small cars on this entire program.
😂 “small cars” right.
They in mehico
LOOK AT the separate bar on the steering wheel for the horn i love old cars
Criminals are like obsessed gamblers - they never know when to stop!
" All I know about him was some SOB in a leather jacket, and ball cap yelling at the wife and me, then he stole the car."
And THAT ladies and gentlemen is the original carjacking....1959
So many good episodes.
Great show great cars best show on RUclips.
Oh the craftsmanship back in those days. Repainting 20 ft of chrome staring land yacht in 4 hours. Skilled thugs like that just don’t exist any more…😢
Back then cars had style.
So did the women!
Back then cars had Steel.
And they were made out of steel not plastic.
Everything had style back then.
And women looked like women, men looked like men.

That's a snappy 59 Chevy!
I had a Roman Red '59 Impala Sport Coupe with 348 and 'factory air' back in the day.
FORD FAIRLANE was new for 1958 , beauty way to go options, included, 4.000" bore x 3.500" stroke 300 H.P. 352 c.i. V-8.

Otravez 39 Idiota.
Jorge Callico , you even seen a little kid get hit by one of those cars 🚘? Sometimes the kids would jump up without a scratch, LOL, the video game children of today can’t handle falling off a bicycle.
John Steed , LOL 😆
Give Dan a bottle of Tequila for his efforts in this one! Bueno give him a case 🤣😉😉
This is a good series
Nothing like a shootout with a stolen car ring. Go, Dan, go!
Hey, the crooks shot first!
22:59 good ol' M-79, always useful for evicting vermin
In every episode, you'll notice "The whiney female voice of reason."
The Mexican captain forgot to say "bye" at the end of his radio transmissions. Or, in his case, it would have been "adios."
Diez-cuatro
Yes, I was thinking he was the South of the border Dan Matthews.
I'm not sure their word "by" at the end of a radio transmission was short for "good bye"....I think it was short for something else like "standing by for further instruction." Just a thought.....
Deiase -Quatro
Sweet sounding V-8’s in some of those cars. Kind of boring but best of all the “6” (00) shot revolvers. Nice radial engined aircraft taking off around 21:35 maybe Van Nuys lots of filming around (and on) that airport.
Heard the plane engine.... seems odd these guys never carry a rifle, shotgun...maybe a Thompson.
My Mom had a '58 Ford station wagon. 3 speed on the column 6 cid.
6 Cubic Inches Displacement ! That's not a lot! I know you meant inline 6-cylinders and the 1958 was 223 CID and 145 Horse Power. Now all is fine.
My first car was a 1963 Impala wagon. 6cyl and 3 on the tree also. It was a beater and almost 10yrs old, but I loved that car.
@David Soltai: "All those cars went to Cuba"
... and if you wish to see them once again, you simply need to watch the Ry Cooder/Wim Wenders documentary CUBA, THE OPEN AIR VINTAGE U.S. CAR MUSEUM a.k.a. BUENA VISTA SOCIAL CLUB. The cars are still functioning whereas (not only) Cuban socialism never functioned for a single day in history. Only socialists and outright communists who are living in capitalist countries, though, keep hailing it (being covertly grateful that their abode is somewhere else). BTW Allegedly, this film is also about music (grin).
Awesome film about Buena Vista Social Club!
9:22....opens the car door and smashes the car next to him. Hahaha!!!
I guess nobody cared if their cars got dinged from this.
That’s the dude who played in Clint Eastwoods movies. “Every Which Way But Loose” and “The Outlaw Josey Wales”. His name is William O’Connell. He and the lady partner are still alive as of May 2023 according to IMDB.
See....they should have "built the wall" many years ago!!
Matthews at 24:34 - and I wish they would have stolen my car, it needs a new paint job!
if car thieves want to lose their cars and sell them in mexico city, they should have entered mexico through arizona
Amazing-- after all those shots no one was hit, and no one reloads?!
Reloading is for amateurs, pros never run out.
All those cars went to Cuba
Andale, Julio!!!
Everyone in the Mexican hwy petroleum got a freshly painted new car!
How many rounds do those six shooters hold anyway?
Unlimited.
SIX!
As many as it takes
Hollywood sixty shooters.
At least 200 each.
Euro 81 Saved.

From The Washington Post, June 1990, "Estimates of the number of stolen U.S. cars that wind up in Mexico range as high as 20,000 a year, of which "hundreds" are said to be in the possession of the federal police."
Did you notice they never sweat in the suits
You have to love during the shootout how the cops all group together in a nice fat target area. Apparently the phrase "spread out" wasn't invented until a few years later during the TV "Western" craze.
I’m pretty sure the phrase “Spread out” was invented by Moe of the 3 Stooges.
_The Three Stooges_ say, "What?"

Good old Dan he always had at least 15 rounds in his 6 shot, and was determined to kill any criminal regardless of stray bullets hitting any passers by.
Looks like here he was firing off like a mad man in all directions even like there wouldn't have been anyone within a half mile range
They should just built a wall…
Maybe yer ancestors should go back to wherever the hell they came from!
@@kenlucas7025 Why? Those Squatters that were here have never built anything, then nor now. Squatters.
Mexico should build it to keep from getting invaded and colonized should the US get any ideas.... USA has no more land to steal.
When Cars where Cars 🚗 alot simpler back then not like today highway robbery
Before when he went into Mexico, he worked with a captain. This character is listed as a sergeant in the credits. Can't tell if it's the same actor. Good character though. Good use of tear gas. Lob it right in front the enclosed area and let it drift in.
i loved the way the guns were tossed..28:00..
The head of the Mexican highway patrol was named: Broderico Crawfordo or Danilo Montezuma.
Would it be funny if the undercover Mexican car was one of the stolen
America of the 50s and 60s.....Coca Cola and Wonder-bras.

Nice to see a border without a wall, and authorities friendly with one another.
Three cops going in. Today there would be three hundred. And that doesn't include the SWAT team.
And bomb squad FBI ATF and thousands of other bureaus i cant think of
