| So that's how it looks in color. |
This morning's event was dedicated to Art Gilmore, who passed away last month at the age of 98 and was a broadcast professional, known for the 156 episodes of "Highway Patrol" (1955-59) he narrated. Actor Broderick Crawford, who played CHP Chief Dan Mathews on the show, was also honored at his Walk of Fame star.We can't even remember if we were aware of Gilmore's death, but we've been watching Highway Patrol religiously since we found it's being broadcast weekday mornings on thisTV.
Mr. Gilmore, of course, served in Jack Webb's repertory company as well as his Highway Patrol gig.
Yes, the Beverly Hills P.D. drives plenty of SUVs. What did you expect?

Note the good detail on the Highway Patrol car. Black-on-yellow exempt plates (where did they ever get those?) and whip antenna clipped to the rain gutter via that little silver clip we observe over Broderick Crawford's head in close=ups of him in the car.

Wondering if it was used in the show or just some obsessive who got hold of a Buick.
Could those plates be like the "Horseless Carriage" ones? Or just show bidness?
