I watch a lot of them for many many reasons and this is just one of the reasons !
IMCDb.org: "The Andy Griffith Show, 1960-1968": cars, bikes, trucks and other vehicles
Also the reason I watched Thunder Road last night and will watch American Graffiti every time it comes on.
Checking out the cars is just a bonus that goes along with watching some of the old classics.....
I was watching the Andy Griffith Show the other day & I could have sworn I've seen that episode before.
They have a channel on TV called "Antenna TV" that runs all the old programs. Love watching it.
Charlie, we have several networks that run them a lot - - - TVLAND, INSP, THIS, REELZ, AMC and, of course I get my Roy Rogers fix on RFDTV
For many of us "old guys"..........it just takes me back to my younger days when living was so much easier.
One of my favorite channels is a Western movie/old show gold mine. I get to watch Bonanza, The Rifleman, Gene Autry, Laredo, and a bunch of old movies, even catch a Lash LaRue movie once in awhile!!!!!!!!
As Chopt mentioned, takes me back to a much simpler time---some days my biggest decision was whether to throw a curve ball or a slider on the next pitch!!!!!!:LOL::LOL::LOL:
Especially those of us who happened to live in small towns during those formative years. We bounced back & forth between two, one of ~500 and the other ~1200. Not Mayberry, but close!!Quote:

Just guessing, but wasn't Ford a sponsor?
The history summary I saw said that General Foods was the sole sponsor, but that Ford Motor Company provided cars free of charge for the "promotional consideration", mentioned in the credits of each show. Sounds like one of those trick questions in a Trivia Show....Quote:
