It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a syndicated TV adaptation of the beloved DC Comics superhero! You know the drill: When he isn't fighting for truth, justice and the American way, the man in tights dons a suit and glasses for his secret identity as Daily Planet newspaper reporter Clark Kent (George Reeves), who works alongside friends Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen for gruff boss Perry White.

That Imperial Crown Phaeton is something else!

Those period cars sure looks better than today's cars

Clark's '53 Nash Healy was a beautiful short-lived sports car.

The front window of our apartment was my past time when I was somewhere around 3-4 so I remember shapes and colors of cars later on what they were. It's funny but when I looked at the superman TV program I Knew what the cars were but not before the year of my birth. So this video is extremely interesting to me. Thank you for sharing. c]8-) 👍

I love these "classic cars of " ... been watching all of them. The Adventures of Superman and Highway Patrol were my particular favorites during the 50s and 60s ... and later haha. Thanks.

Love watching old movies and seeing people driving around in these cars. Thanks for the post!

Perry White drove the best looking car !, the '53 Packard

I always liked Lois’ Nash Rambler convertibles in the B/W episodes.

[BobSebring]

That 1952 Nash Healey was really George Reeves car given to him by his mistress Toni Maddocks

[howardreed]

I was happy to see so many independent automakers like Nash, Kaiser/ Frazer, Studebaker and Packard represented in the earlier episodes. I also noticed more Chrysler products in the later ones. Was Chrysler a sponsor, perhaps?

I can't believe that as a kid growing up in the fifties I took this show seriously !

You should do the TV series the "Untouchables". The cars in that show were already classics then. Also "Kraft Suspense Theater" had tons of cool cars.

[SallySallySallySally]

Another great post! Thanks! I love all of these. You're very talented!
That's a pretty good match on George Reeves' voice. Everyone over a certain age will always recognize the epic opening theme of this series after only the first note, just like the Beatles "A Hard Day's Night." Thanks again!

[davidmirabella]

Thanks for another well researched video. As entertaining as the show itself!

[MarshallJohnson-fq]

I remember that episode when the foreign king drives his own limousine car backwards. I never saw a car like that before or since😊😊😊

[billolsen]

Even the crimms keep their cars all spiffed up. Like seeing some of the roadways, surface streets & buildings I recognize from working in downtown LA in the 1990's!

[glennnickerson]

More powerful than a speeding Studebaker!😆

[TheRealDrJoey]

Man, or should I say super man, this was a juicy one. I believe that Nash Healy @ 7:07 was George Reeves's personal car.

[mastergunnerysgt]

Kidd, I like the way that find this stuff and there always cool to see. For the langwidge back then was always clean.

Based on the cars they were driving, I'm guessing they paid reporters pretty well at the Daily Planet.
