    HE! HE! What the heck is a Metropolitan?
    I know Friday drove some kind of Ford,
    I am not sure what kind it was though.
    Looks like a short version of the Galaxy

    Never thought I'd catch Jay on one of these. Actually Lois' car was a Nash Rambler convertible, '50 I think. Preceded and larger than the Metro. They did have some similar styling cues though. A bonus: Clark Kent drove a Nash Healey.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    I could be wrong. My memory isn't what it used to be ..... or at least what I think it used to be? I distinctly remember a Metro, but now I have to dig and try to find out. :-(

    You might be thinking of Columbo....he drove a Peugeot convertible.

    You are right! It was Columbo. I'll shut up now. I am clearly not contributing anything here. {:-)

    I think from time to time, they also had an AMC Rambler Ambassador. I know when the show ended and Adam-12 spawned from it, they used AMC's for all the cop cars.. both shows were produced by Mark VII limited.. Jack Webb ( SGT Joe Friday ) directed both shows
