We forgot that quality meant long term, satisfied, repeat customers. As far as Ford, tell that to my old girl friend. In the 70's we took a ride in her new Ford and hit a bump.

Its amazing how popular these shows are on You Tube. They were very low budget syndicated shows made for independent (non=network) TV stations to give them something to compete with network programs and have something better than cut up old movies (although we now appreciate those movies too). Ziv was a large syndicator and producer, had many shows, this one, Boston Blackie, Sea Hunt and others, and also produced and syndicated radio programs before TV. All generally of good quality. The fact that they still get loyal audience tells of the surprising entertainment value they had. Broadrich Crawford, who made a career of playing tough guys, is utterly charming and has a lot to do with the continuing popularity of Highway Patrol.

There was one episode which had three women as prison escapees.

In the early 70s, while in college, we declared October 4 (10-4) as "Broderick Crawford Day.. and went out to thrift stores and bought thin-lapeled dark suits, fedoras and skinny neck-ties. We even wrote lyrics to the Highway Patrol theme song. "March, march, march of the Highway Patrol. We make sure nothing gets stole. Follow the man in the black sedan! We must uphold the law of the land. We make sure everything is under control... of the march, march, march of the Highway Patrol." .... Oh, did I mention I loved this show? LOL

My second car was a '57 Ford Fairlane that I bought for $125 in 1974. Ran fine until it threw a rod 6 months later. I got my money's worth out of it. Poor lady she got too much for what she bargained for but she still never gave it to him. One common thing you hear on this show is large piston engine airliners flying low overhead (such as DC-6, DC-7, Boeing 377 or military variants) at 24:08. I love that! Never cared for jets. $20,000 in 1957 is about $216,000 in 2023 dollars. The average worker salary was about $6000 some more, many less.

Their only rival was Jack Webb's "Dragnet", that used real cases and identified actual cars by year, make, model, color and license plate #. Mathews' cases were clearly made up, and they further embarrassed themselves with ridiculous descriptions, like "blue sedan" when the car was a hardtop! Still, I think HP won out in the ratings simply bc they had far more action.

One episode really stuck in my mind,, it was the one where this guy rigged up a pail of water and hung it above a open ended 55 gallon drum full of ~granulated chlorine~ as a homemade explosive. And he had a string attached to the hanging pail of water, that he would be able to pull which would tilt the pail, and the water would pour into the granulated chlorine, and cause a huge chemical explosion !!! This stuck in my mind for more than 60 years! I hadn't seen Highway Patrol until a year or so ago, and finally watched this episode ....... after 64 years!!!

Randy The Buicks Dan drove in the early episodes were '55 Century 2-Door Sedans. They were specially created by GM for the California Highway Patrol using 2-door sedan bodies on Century chassis. The TV show at that time was so dedicated to authenticity, they used these specially-bred cars. In 1969 I spotted one sitting abandoned in a tire shop in Compton, California. Someone had pulled the engine/trans out, and it looked like the Century body was headed for the wrecking yard. I tried desperately to locate an owner but never could, and it finally disappeared, and gone from my grasp forever.
