Besides the old cars what's amazing to me is the care people showed to one another back then. Not much of that going around these days.

Thanks again for the info. B/MP was same class my father ran in '71 w a Pontiac powered '62 Catalina named Renegade... That episodes' 65 Goats' rear 1/4 looked stressed w a wrinkle above the driver side wheel well re-arch work for the slick fit. Wonder if they were running cheater-slicks on it? Was neat to see it beat the Road Runner too.

Missed the '70 GTO on those episodes, but did see:

Ep 18 a '70 Firebird stopped @ traffic light where Adam 12 turns right, then stops to by paper from boy.

Ep 24 The stop of the military vehicle, a Brown 1969 GTO convertible passes directly by...reminded me of this iconic RAIV '69 http://www.tachrev.com/MecumHou2012Pg3.htm
