It's a Lark, either a Regal or a Custom 4d. There appears to be chrome behind the rear door under the C-pillar as illustrated in this link: http://www.ritzsite.net/63Stude/02_63stude.htm (scroll down to 2nd car image). If there is no side trim, then it's a Standard. -- Last edit: 2007-11-03 08:16:04 |

Custom indeed: |

Yep, that little "knife edge" trim is the giveaway for the custom trim level. |

This is the only episode I could stomach, solely for the purpose of it being car-related. I remember the family is on that hippie bus playing "license plate bingo" while on a road trip to some gig, Ma is somehow distracted, probably by the ginger boy with the Beethoven haircut, and she taps the rear end of Officer Bill Gannon / Colonel Sherman T. Potter while he himself is between acting gigs. Apparently living out of his Studebaker, the tap knocks him out of his driver seat bed on the wrong side. He is inspired to play the whiplash routine to soak the Patridges, but for whatever reason I don't recall, he just has them serve him while he wears a neckbrace. There must have been tons of faux whiplash accident claim cases in the late 1960s because it seemed to be a popular storyline. It's mentioned in the film, "I Love You, Alice B. Toklas", and of course in that other sacchrine sweet "comedy" "The Bratty Bunch", The Kid / Uncle Fester, also out of acting work, gets his Olds Cutlass dinged by the Bratty superhauler Plymouth Sattelite, and like Colonel Potter, gets outted. Hell, it should have been recycled in Scooby Doo Doo because they each would have gotten away with it "if it wasn't for those meddling kids!" |
