Just watched an early episode of "My Three Sons" and the ending credits had shown an early model corvair and then a 62 impala then back to the corvair.

There is a blue colored 1961 700 4 door sedan continually being shown on the TV show "Johnny Sokko and His Flying Robot", a Japanese production from 1967-1968. It can be seen on Comet TV, a sci-fi antenna channel, later on Sunday nights. Be cautioned though, the program is terrible!

Speaking of Corvairs in the junkyard. A couple of years ago I just tuned in to the TV show "The Mod Squad" and they were having a foot chase through a messy early 1970's salvage yard. Well, I knew it was coming, so I just thought: wait for it, wait for it... There it was, an EM Corvair in a car crusher, and seconds after the camera panned to it, the top part of the crusher crashed down and squashed the Corvair. These cars don't get any respect.

As I was watching "Radio free Albemuth" one of the main characters was driving a beautiful early model Corvair. When he moved he was towing it wrong.

Corvairs are frequently spotted in various scenes in the popular 1970's TV series EMERGENCY! (1972-1979). During season 1, the same canned video clip was often used in many episodes as the Squad 51 vehicle exited the station with a right turn — passing the same group of parked vehicles each time, including a red early Corvair 2-door coupe.

In this episode, the paramedics turn out in a automobile junk yard... all too often the natural habitat of used-up Corvairs.

The once proud Early Model Corvair coupe stands tall as it presides over the scene of firemen, police, ambulance attendants, and others as the firemen rescue a person trapped under a stack of junked cars.

THIS IS A SUPPLEMENT TO THE ABOVE POST SHOWING CORVAIRS ON EMERGENCY! USING A SCREEN CAPTURE FROM A RECENT EPISODE.
The gas prices shown were from a 1975 Episode. Episode was Season 5, Episode 1, The Stewardess, which originally aired 13 September 1975.


It appears that "51" was not only the Fire Station number, but was also the price of Premium gasoline at the time!

I was watching a 1965 episode of Bewitched with my daughter last night. In this episode, Samantha (the witch) gets a driving lesson in a '65 Impala. I never saw so many Corvairs on a TV show! Mostly early models (one was a '60 for sure), but also saw a late model sedan that she almost hit on her lesson, lol. Some were seen more than once, but counted at least 4 in the driving scene.
