I love the Andy griffith show! I've seen just about every episode of the black and white seasons on MeTv! I love the inclusions of the the fishing poles and the Aunt Bee picnic basket, great touch's👌. I've always loved vintage police cars, they just have a charm to them. The old mars light and that classic siren sound just brings out my inner kid! This I love even more it being an Andy Griffith show car! I'm you Lou with hearing that Barney Fife theme seeing it drive as well as hearing him hollering "Mayberry unit 1" over the radio 🤣. Great video Lou!

Nice one Lou. The straight six is plenty powerful when equipped with the Motorola radio. You might outrun the six, but you'll never out run the radio. When I was seven years old in the summer of '67 Dad purchased a Country Sedan wagon from Courtesy Ford in Chicago. They used the exact same badge on the two way tail gate... Thanks for another blast from the past...👍🏁

Fantastic video! Great car. This is only one of many cars used on the show. The cars were provided by Ford, and the car used was from the current model year for the season being filmed. The show ran from October 3, 1960, to April 1, 1968. I don't know if they had an episode using the patrol car in every season, but I do remember seeing a 61, 63, and a 64 on the show as well as this 62. It would be quite a collection if someone were to obtain a car from each year. However, I doubt all of them still exist.

If you're ever in north central North Carolina check out a town called Mount Airy, it's the real Mayberry and the downtown is still the same as the show. There's a statue of Andy and the REAL Mayberry Sheriff's car in front of the Sheriff's Office. Pilot Mountain aka Mount Pilot is just south aways down US 52 and they have a car show every week from April through November called Hot Cars Hot Nights. My friends and I rode our bikes to that area a lot when I lived in the state. Like I said Lou, check out the area, you will find a lot of cars to feature. As always thanks for a great video 👍👍

Hey big bro LOU! LMAO 🤣🤪hilariously awesome, man! OH BOY. POW!! SOCK!! This Squad car takes me right back to my delinquent days as a goofy and wise ass working class teenage boy JV baseball lightweight jock in highschool, sniffing around WAAAY too many girls whose Dad's were cops lol 😂🤪!! And presto! a cop walks in frame with me knocked out 😵😵and slung over his left shoulder (I'm a total one shoulder carry), my now limp tube sock baseball stockinged calves and feet swaying in time to his steps as he dumps me in the backseat! HA! You look up and effortlessly catch my floppy sneakers (a la my hero Robin Yount) which are just now landing, 5 minutes after he knocked me out lol😜😵. This Galaxie cop car just makes me wanna whistle the theme song to "The Andy Griffith Show", which I do (very well, actually 😉) regularly and drive my friends and family crazy! All-American joy right there, Lou-and I am sure Dino has the car in films and such. It just makes folks smile, even a recovering delinquent like me lol 😇😜. I loved hearing you gin up those iconic police theme songs and joke around with Dino here, big bro! Always bring me car guy joy, Lou. Thanks big brother! JV Johnny ⚾⚾

Is this one "for real" or an adaptation? I'd kind of like to know its history if it was indeed used on Andy Griffith/Mayberry RFD shows. Sometimes the studios would "recycle" them, repaint, repurpose. This goes back to a time in Hollywood when there was no respect for history or to think about keeping something that may some day be of retro-interest. Was this car sold "as is" by the studio somewhere along the line, passed from owner to owner, fell into disrepair and then restored? Enquiring/Inquiring minds want to know, Lou!

The car wasn't a police/taxi package. It appears to have been made into a police vehicle. The 223ci was the base engine for that year in the full size Ford. Most '62 Ford Galaxie's used the V8 that was available in the 292ci 352ci or 390ci. Knew a fellow that had a '62 Galaxie with the 223 hooked to a three speed standard/OD.
