kbobam Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 Some time ago I had a question about cars used in The Doris Day Show. It had to do with the car(s) used in the opening credits. Galen cleared up my confusion pretty quickly. Here's another similar situation, and it bothers me in the same way because my favorite cars are from this time period, and I like to think I usually recognize them immediately, but I guess there're some models that just don't ring a bell. Or I'm losing my mind, which is also possible. This car was also in the DD show, but it was just a passing part of the story line in one particular episode. Maybe I'd recognize it from a normal ground-level angle, but this view from Doris's upstairs window just isn't doing it for me. I'm also wondering about the 'contours' or 'structure' of the hood. It looks like it has some sort of 'one-sided' design to it, although the lighting here is such that there might be something on the other side we just can't see in this shot. Whatever it is, there's no doubt in my mind that it's what I consider to be a 'real car', as opposed to what's been produced in the following several decades. Geesh. It just hit me that if someone came out with a tee-shirt for old fogies that read "Set in my ways, and proud of it!", I'd really want one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManofKent Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 I'm more of a Doris Day fan than a car fan, but from the bonnet (hood?) I'd guess a Dodge Challenger (don't ask me which year!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 Looking at the flare of the back side-fender I'd agree that it's probably some kind of Dodge (or Plymouth or Chrysler but probably Dodge). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 The Cougar had a hood like that but the front end does not look right?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 I know, and now that hood looks more like a T-bird hood to me . . . I should probably shut up. I know more about Chevys and Pontiacs . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 After a bit more research I am going with Challenger !!!! I believe those are the hood clips on the front, This one is a little more souped up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbobam Posted May 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 Thanks to everyone for responding. It now definitely looks like the tv shot got bleached-out and lost a lot of detail. That's a particularly nice Challenger photo. I may have to save that for the next time I do one of the helpful gift-giving guide posts regarding Christmas or my birthday.
