Each show was filmed in Southern California so that VWs are almost always seen in the background.
1. Dark green/blue early Fastback in left background. Adam-12, "Northwest Division" season 6, episode 11 1973. Ofcrs Malloy and Reed (Martin Milner, Kent McCord) stop a boy (Johnny Whitaker, Jr.) riding a small trail bike.
2. Late Squareback parked, per #1.
3. '71 or '72 camper, per #1. Actor in white apron is Ronnie Schell.
4. Blue early '60's Beetle, Emergency! "Firehouse Quintet" S6E18 1977. Some of the Station 51 crew push the no-starting 1948 Packard station wagon past the parked Beetle.
5. White '66 Beetle, with a yellow Karmann Cabrio hidden to the left. Emergency! "Fair Fight" S6E5 1976.
6. Orange Squareback, Emergency! "Captain Hook" S6E8 1976. Parked in front of a body shop. Show star Station 51 paramedic John Gage (Randolph Mantooth) is on right, walking away. IMDB lists the location as 743 Foothill Blvd, La Canada Flintridge, California. IMDB also mentions that the yellow hotrod seen in the bodyshop is the very same famous one driven by John Milner (Paul Le Mat) in movie "American Graffiti" from 1973.
7, 8. Clementine '71 Super Beetle, Charlie's Angels "Three for the Money" S4E22 1980. License plate frame shows the VW dealer Allred in Glendale, Calif. Angel Tiffany Welles (Shelley Hack) wears a white jump suit. Black '68/'69 Beetle in background.
9. Red late Karmann Cabrio, Charlie's Angels "Stuntwoman Angels" S5E12 1981. Likely is the same Cabrio from episode "Angel on a roll" S5E14. |
