I've never seen it. Cool picture!
I wonder how much product placement marketing went on back in the 60's on shows like this.

A bunch! 'I Dream of Jeanie' used new Pontiacs, Bewitched used new Chevies, I think 'My Three Sons' also had Pontiacs? 'The FBI' and 'Andy Griffith Show' used Fords and I think there were quite a few more..

I guess I was oblivious when I was young. The first time I realized it was happening was when I was maybe 12 watching a movie where a group of guys were drinking Pepsi & kept setting their soda cans down with the label perfectly facing the camera. Was pretty obvious. From that point on it kinda ruined my perspective as to why things are in movies & shows.

I didn't think about it happening retroactively in the 60's but it makes sense. Jane Hathaway could have just rang Jeds door bell, she's didn't have to pull up in a new car

Anyone ever known for sure what brand Jed's jalopy truck was ?

always presumed it was a Ford or Chevy .... maybe was a Dodge though ?
