Ford Thunderbird

In the opening of the US version of Secret Agent you can see the back of a 1958 or 1959 Thunderbird driving off.

I recall one episode where the car was featured throughout the episode.

I am trying to find that episode.

Can anybody point me to it?

Thanks.

"A Date With Doris"

Ah, I see you had found it. Yes, the T-bird shows up far more often in 'A Date with Doris'.

Ford motor company sure did a lot of promotion via TV and movies, did they not? Hawaii 5-O is a stand out example.

I think just about every Quinn Martin Production of the time (The FBI, The Invaders, Barnaby Jones, The Streets of San Francisco, et al.) used Ford products.

Well dude, I can tell you that a Thunderbird is seen parked in 'A Man To Be Trusted' (1st season of the 1 hour series). I'm not sure if I recall such a car being used throughout the episode, but I just realized the car is seen at least once more in this episode I just mentioned.

It is also seen and used extensively in the episode To Our Best Friends.
