misterc9 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Does anyone know what kind of car Capt Midnight's / Jet Jackson/ custom convertible was? Are there any pictures of it? Does anyone know what happened to it or if it still exists? This is the car in the 1954-56 TV series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylormade Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 I don't remember a car on the show. It seems like I remember the Captain and Iggy flying to whatever adventure they were embroiled in that week in their Rocket Plane and then defeating the bad guys in between stock footage from old Columbia serials and B movies.

capngrog Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Here's what I found with a quick google search: http://secretsquadron.com/carplane.html According to the story, Captain Midnight's car was a 1942 Oldsmobile customized by George Shilala. The airplane was an almost direct copy of the Douglas D-558-2 Skyrocket. Cheers, Grog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylormade Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I think the original poster was asking about the TV series, not the movie serial. Cool clip in any case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
