Can't wait for season 3. Aunt Bea drove her very own 1966 Studebaker Daytona 2 door onto the set. She was a lifelong Studebaker owner She had a driver, but it is seen in several scenes, even tho Chrysler sponsored the program.

Another excellent job! Thanks!! Very good voices too -- Griffith, Bavier and even George Lindsey (Goober!)

[gibby]

Never knew that Andy drove the Coronet squad car

I am glad to hear you call the 1961 Comet a Comet and not a Mercury Comet as I am also glad to hear you refer to the Imperial as just Imperial and not Chrysler Imperial.

Mayberry went from the land of Fords to town of MoPars. Those ‘68-‘69 Satellites & Coronets were handsome cars. Jodi Foster’s older brother Buddy played Mike Jones. CBS was wise to do the ‘rural purge’ in 1971.😊

The switch from Ford to Mopar is almost as jarring as the one from B&W to color.

Ford was the supplier of automobiles for the 1st 8 seasons. When it became Mayberry RFD, Chrysler was the supplier.

Thanks Fusion Kidd …… how about the cars from the movie Bullitt ? Lots of cars ….there’s a white Austin Healy 3000 that shows up at least 3 times ….and then there’s the green Volkswagen.

[glennnickerson]

I guess that Mayberry RFD is the only show you could do that Ken Berry starred in. I don't think you would have much material with F Troop Fusion Kidd!😆

[rickgaine]

well it seems obvious that Ford sponsored the Andy Griffith show, it seems Chrysler sponsored Mayberry RFD

[manthony]

Could that Dart wagon really pull a horse trailer with a horse in it?🤔

[mexicanspec]

0:56 Why would a mail car have a California plate in North Carolina?

[EarlRoark]

How about a video, classic cars of the Saint TV series.

[joemazzola]

The show was obviously provided with cars from Chrysler corporation
Did anyone else notice that tha rambler Americans badges were electrical taped over?

[blockcl]

The Ford dealership in Mayberry must have closed.

2:20 I might be wrong but if it was a '68 it would have the newly mandated side marker lights. I'm guessin' '67? Either way you never see any mid to late '60's Dodge p/u 's anywhere anytime, even at MOPAR shows.5:17 wonder if he'll show them how to park a car in the courthouse😀?

[mattfarahsmillionmilelexus]

Nice touch on not calling the 1961 Comet a Mercury, that didn't come until 1962. Andy driving a Mopar? Kind of jarring.

[automatedelectronics]

That is NOT a 1965 Dodge D100 truck. It is most probably a 1967. The 1965 still had the "smiley" type of grille introduced in the new 1961 Sweptline truck. I had a 1965 Dodge truck.
Where's Ain't B's Studebaker, which was her own personal car, in real life, which she owned until her passing?
