TV Superman Mopars

[Bingster]

I just got seasons 3 & 4 of the TV Superman with George Reeves - the best for my money - and they jumped from what appear to be Nash cars for Lois and the police in the '54-'55 season to pretty Plymouths in the '55-'56 season. A nice two-tone blue and white Plymouth convertable for Lois and black & white Plymouth police cars. Inspector Henderson drove a larger either Chrysler or Desoto, I couldn't tell from the rear.

Man, those bathtub Nash's were ugly, to me anyway. Chrysler must have provided cars for the show in '55. Just like United Airlines, whose name was plastered all over one episode.

I heard that Frank Sinatra one blew a gasket when somebody showed him the artwork for an album cover with TWA displayed prominently on the airplane.

And I also saw in one episode where Clark Kent felt under the front fender of a police car only to find a Hide-A-Key. It was exactly like the one that my folks had.

Saw the movie Harvey the other night with Jimmy Stewart and they had a '48Desoto S-11 for a taxicab.

My favorite Plymouth-related Superman episode was 'The Lady in Red'.....featured a '52 Cambridge Yellow Cab.

Hey hey now! Take it easy on my first crush! :(Before I spotted the '49 Mopars I had my heart set on Lois' Nash Rambler convertible. Thankfully, I realized I wouldn't fit and moved on. Those are hard cars to come across in good shape, really prone to rust!

There is also a eariler set that was serials in the movies which has some great 40's mopars.

Never really got into Superman..something to do with 6 bullets bouncing off his chest then having to duck when the gun is thrown at him...
