Back in 2001-2002, I became great friends with Art Gilmore, who told me he narrated all 156+ episodes of HIGHWAY PATROL. He was never on set, but recorded everything "wild"--in a separate studio. He said in all this time, he met Crawford only once, a chance meeting in the studio Men's Room. Art narrated previews for decades for 20th Century-Fox and MGM. He was quite a guy, visiting us at Parley Baer's house, after playing 18 holes of golf at age 90.
Parley Baer! He portrayed Chester in the radio rendition of Gunsmoke. Took real skill to play a character on radio with only voice inflections and volume with tics at appropriate times. Mr. Baer was very talented.
As well as other areas around the SFV. Now covered with houses and commercial business. And don't forget the Corrigonville movie ranch in the pass. The Reagan Library in located just to the west of here. In 52 we could watch dogfights for pilots in the Korean war use the area for training.
Try a '56 'Big M' Mercury. I should know as I had a '55 Merc for about nine years! That one is a Monterey, which is what I had, but see the Trailer Story episode for the more expensive and even more impressive Montclair model. it will make your mouth drool!

Gas prices were dirt cheap so they could afford building cars like that. I grew up in the 60’s married in 73. We could put gas in our two cars for $20.00.
Driving by the PIckwood theater one Sunday afternoon early sixties or late fifties, and there was Crawford buying matinee movie tickets for over a dozen kids, maybe two dozen; he was wearing a white dress shirt, open collar ... in those days many men tended to wear suits no matter where they went or when. My dad picked us up at the beach one day, wearing his suit and tie (holding his folded jacket) ... we laughed at him.
AMStationEngineer I had to go back to 2:39 and look. By golly, you are right, it’s Guy Williams but I had to listen to his voice. Crawford certainly does rattle off his dialogue auctioneer style.
The Highway Patrol gets the call and Matthews, the head of the entire Force, just happens to be hanging around in the middle of nowhere near a paved road.
Television at this time always did the close ups with the meanest looking people. What I'd give to live during America's golden age where a man could make $40 a week and live on it with a house, car and family. What the hell happened?! (I know-but I'm sick of politics.)
@@CharlottePrattWilson It means that Corporate America decided that the 40.00 dollar a week lifestyle wasn't profitable enough for them. So they started a slow take over of our government and economy in the 60s that has gotten out of control.

Isn't that Guy Williams in this story? Before he was Professor Robinson on Lost In Space or before being Zorro for the Disney Studios, he was a deputy in Highway Patrol. How cool is that? And I have to say, the daughter really looks cute! But even the bad girl had more sense than the bad guys.
in an episode of Dun Smoke, This very same house and barn/ property was used in the show. Same camera angle. getting the house , barn and a portion of the fence.
The initial ground search around the plane for clues of its landing came up empty. The cops head out in ear-shot distance to search for the jeep and Ranger. There sit the jeep and expired forest ranger not 20 yards away in view from the plane. Too funny. An enjoyable episode nonetheless. Retro TV is far more entertaining than TV in 2018.
LOL, classic Mathews: 10:38 "I don't think you'd take the chance of splattering yourself all over the countryside just to come up here and toast marshmallows"
Correction.Aircraft number N3534C is still flying and located in Loomis,Ca. It is a Cessna 170B, I just had the 35 and 34 backwards.This aircraft was built in 1955
Trivia corner: the name came from General Purpose vehicle - GP. When you say it, the first part is Jeep. Another example: one of the Mercury astronauts was Deke Slayton. Real name Donald Kent or DK. The first part of that is Deke. I got bored with this dull episode.
@@Sootaroot No, it did not. The designation 'GP' was internal Ford code for _Government, 80" wheelbase_ per 1941 Ford Motor Company documentation. It was not _'General Purpose',_ and was not the first 'Jeep'. The first prototype delivered of what would become 'Jeep' was the 'Blitz Buggy', built by American Bantam. That was followed by the Willys 'Quad; and Ford 'Pygmy'. After Ordnance thoroughly abused the aforementioned prototypes (they were impressed) limited contracts were issued to the three firms to build revised prototypes for further evaluation (abuse). That resulted in the Bantam BRC (Bantam Reconnaissance Car), Willys MA (Military, first contract) and Ford GP (Government, 80 inch wheelbase). The contract for 'Truck, 1/4 Ton, 4X4, G503' was eventually awarded to Willys Overland with Ford as subcontractor and saw Willys building over 360,000 of their Model MB (Military, second contract) and Ford over 280,000 of their Model GPW (Government, 80" wheelbase, Willys pattern) by War's end.
By the time LIS went off the air, Williams had become thoroughly disenchanted with Hollywood, especially as a result of Jonathan Harris's virtually taking over the show. In his later years, Harris expressed regret that he and Williams had never reconciled their differences. In fairness to both of these two very talented actors, it should be pointed out that they grew up in totally different social and family environments, so perhaps some conflict between the two was inevitable.
The plane didn't crack up,. but apparently the daughter did since she was in a sanitorium. Matthews and the cop who looked through the plane didn't notice the Jeep as close as it was? C'mon. The wife/mother with a heart of gold and the mobster who promises to go straight. Who else gagged?

How be it that big Dan the head of the Highway Patrol was right there in the area to begin with instead sitting behind a big desk at patrol headquarters where he belonged!
Watch closely at the beginning. When the ranger spots the "airplane in trouble" it's of the low-wing' configuration. When Matthews and Officer find the bird the configuration is high-wing. And now I chuckle as the Officer's name is Barney.... LOL

Many writers back then still understood that genuinely realist stories are dull, like todays stuff. Entertaining fiction is BETTER than reality.

Exciter - DITTO!
Definitely casting couch material
Yes, Barney is definitely hot.
Cool cars of the 1950s...I was born in 1952....
The other patrolman. Guy Williams ( Zorro).
This would have been a very short episode if Dan and Barney searched the house properly to begin with.
Love Crawford's machine gun verbals. Heard from CHP friend of my dad that Crawford received so many 502's (today's DUII) that he had his license revoked and could only drive on private roads during the filmings. Notice he has other actor driving on public roads. Confirmed by another man who worked on location! Fun series and remembered watching it as a kid...
Great acting.
I haven’t figured out yet why Mathew’s wears a suit and not a uni.
How did Dan go right to where the plane landed, then not see the jeep 100 feet away, in the open?
How be it that big Dan the head of the Highway Patrol was right there in the area to begin with instead sitting behind a big desk at patrol headquarters where he belonged!
@@8176morgan And he looked as if he had nothing to do.
It was a stealth Jeep.
The kidnapper's wife had about an 18" waist. You sure don't see any adult women that skinny anymore....
The numbers racket is today called the legal lottery .
Matthews didn't mess around...Always to the point!!
Could you imagine a Joe Friday/Matthew's series!!🎈🎈
Watch closely at the beginning. When the ranger spots the "airplane in trouble" it's of the low-wing' configuration. When Matthews and Officer find the bird the configuration is high-wing. And now I chuckle as the Officer's name is Barney.... LOL
"I went to Patrol Academy !!" ... lol.
The old Green Acres house on the Iverson movie ranch in Chatsworth Ca
That mammoth portable radio in that Jeep.
Barney is Zorro and Lost in Space commander, Mr. Williams
The female kidnapper looks just like the type that would be in one of those Roger Corman flicks. ('Kill Kill')
20:11 you can see the beutiful bright blueing on the Colt 1911 of the period .
1929-2015 Gloria Grant as Ginny was a beautiful girl, she looked so lovely in this episode RIP.
I watched these shows when they first came on TV....
