Highway Patrol

[jdcar32]

Does anyone know the history and current where abouts of the 32 Ford lowboy featured on Highway patrol TV series of the mid 50's? The car had an Olds engine and Studebaker caps ( I think ).The show is currently in sindication again in my area, some really neat So. Cal slices of life from the 50's with cool cars too. Thanks J.D.

I do remember the show. Brodwick Crawford was the star if I remember right. I can't say a remember the car you are refering to. Was it a car that was in one show or was it a regular on the show ? We don't get any reruns of the show out here at least yet. I hope we get it. I would love to watch them again. Was it a Buick that was the patrol car ?

Broderwick Crawford drove a Buick for the most part. But I do remember some of the early 1955 shows where he drove an Oldsmobile.

The 32 ford I'm refering to was a one time episode, IMDB lists the individual shows so I suppose more info could be gathered there( Nov 19, 1956 "Hot Rod" episode 7, season 2 ). Early shows did include Olds 2 door sedans, and I did see a few Dodge D-500 sedans along with the Buick Centurys. The Buicks were factory hot rods I.E. -lightest body with big motor.

You might find an answer at HAMB's jalopyjournal. com. Here's a thread on other 50's TV hot rods.

You can also stream the episode from Netflix, but I think you have to have a membership.

I just searched Netfilx and had no results for " Highway Patrol ".

I remember the episode. Something about the car being loud, so it must be supercharged. I'll have to check it out, just to see wide open spaces in Southern California. Ah, the good ol' days. 2150 by.

I see Highway Patrol every morining on THis TV, I love the old 50's cars. The crime plots are too incredible for words, and the acting is kind of rough.

[sjordan2]

I lost the link, which sends you to Netflix, but other similar sites say they have that episode, but don't.

I'm pretty sure I've seen all the episodes Hulu has available and don't remember seeing the 32. I don't know if they added any episode since I've last looked.

If I'm up at 5am I usually watch HP on a local station.
