    If they wanted to save money how come they didn’t buy a Custom? lol love it. I bet Ernie liked driving it too. White walls and full wheel covers? Hmmmm bet Ernie’s wife picked it out.

    I thought I had some additional pic's of that 61 Pontiac Catalina Enforcer, but I don't. The car I was thinking of was a 1960 model. Notice the Roll Bar on the 60 4-door!

    Dan Mathews (Broderick Crawford) never had to run after a suspect. He just radioed ahead.

    Having his license pulled for DUI, he had no other choice, as soon as criminals were chased off the private roads where the series was filmed at
    They were Bubble Top wise, even back then
