From what read the reason the Car 54 were painted red and white so they would not get mixed with real police cars while they filming at different locations around the city. Both green and red look black when filmed with black and white film.
I was 5 when this show was on TV. Back then we had the choice of 3 channels to watch from.
I really enjoy seeing the reruns when they show up every few years.

Green and red do not look the same when shot on black and white film. The reflections off of a red surface are not as dark as the reflections from a green surface. _________________ Brian

given the picture quality I'm not sure we would have noticed the depth of reflections, sometimes it was hard enough to see the cars in the 'snow storm' _________________ "we're here on Earth to fart around" kurt vonnegut

You might not notice, but that doesn't mean the folks behind the camera didn't notice. You have to maintain quality in the process as long as you can so the end product has the best chance of looking decent by the time it gets to your screen at home. _________________ Brian

That 61 was about the last gasp for Exner ( who got his crazy ass fired the next year for permanently tanking the Plymouth market for the 62). I like the look but your are in straight hell if you ever have to do body work. Oh, I saw a 75 Road Runner...in my driveway! _________________ Fat chick owner/operator |

I had an '81 1300DX hatchback. 5 years and 85k miles later, I sold it to a co-worker when I bought my '86 Civic Si (which I still have). Honda didn't use galvanized steel until '83, so my tailgate and front inner fenders were already rusting out. I installed the same J.C. Whitney side moldings as the wagon has.
In 20 years the purists will be arguing whether '80-'81 Civics came with silver-painted bands at the top and bottom of the grille. They faded so fast, I had to repaint mine every year. _________________ Thanks,

Thanks for all the info on the red and white 'police' car.
I had no clue that red could be used to show as black with b&w film. Just never crossed my mind.
I do remember in the late 1960s that real NYC police cars had dark green bodies and a white roof, but the front fenders were black. _________________ “If you care for a thing long enough, it takes on a life of its own, doesn't it?

The Model T's at Greenfield Village average 10k miles a year from April to January. Vintage bikes only get 6 days on the village streets a year. |

I saw an early 50s Hudson Hornet in pristine condition this afternoon. Hudsons dominated the oval circuits in the early 50s and they did it with flathead sixes. |

With a magical device called a colour filter , at the price of 0.5-1 stop, you can make any colour the tone you want. Common in the BW movie era _________________ .ssS! |
