No, she drove a Nash Rambler. Mets didn't come out until late 1953 and Noel Neill was Lois by then.
Phyllis Coates is in the Rambler picture.

Depends on the season. He drove a Ferrari 250 in the pilot episode, then a Sunbeam Tiger, then a VW Karmann Ghia, and finally an Opel GT in the last season.

Here’s a great site for finding cars from TV shows or Movies.

https://www.imcdb.org/movie_44231-Ad...-Superman.html


Apparently this 1957 Imperial Crown was a bad guy car…
