I don't have HBO (simply refuse to pay the satellite provider any more money) but I can catch original Perry Mason on FETV and between the Jerry Goldsmith theme music and the period cars and clothing, I greatly enjoy it. Maybe HBO will release the new series as a seasonal DVD box set.

 

I'm waiting for Showtime to release Penny Dreadful City of Angels 1st season. Yeah, I kinda like noir, old or modern.

Pontiac Rally 1 wheels were an option until 1968. Several early ads show the 1968 G.T.O wearing them. 

 

 I posted a picture with a comment on page 4;

Rally 1 wheels optional on 1966, 67, & 68 Tempest, Tempest Custom, LeMans, and GTO.

Pontiac also made a rally sport wheel that looked somewhat like the rally 1 in 1981,

I wonder if the same 58 Caddy was used in Hud.

Yes, through 1969 Pontiac Rally wheels had six lugs and Chevvy had five. Chev also had the flat center cap in 67 and 68-on had the tall center cap. Pontiac followed the Rally 1 with a spoked Rally 2. On the 1970 Grand Prix it was a 15x7 but Corvette had a steel 15x8.

3. Didn't pay as much attention to post '73 stuff (except for snowflakes), all my wheels were alloy. Thought those small slot wheels were an Oldsmobile thing also used on other corporate cars.

It's not TV but a local musician used my 50 Chevy a few years ago for an album cover, because he loved the patina

John, I hope you still have that Chevrolet. The 49-50 Styleline Deluxe is a favorite of mine.

Yes I do, i had it out the other day, it is a great car! I bought it off the classifieds on this site about 6-7 years ago. It is my favorite car in my collection Thanks,

Did not mean to get the topic off track, but the car was in a video and on TV so technically it was on TV and used as a prop

That car was featured in Cars & Parts magazine back in the '80's or '90s.  I recall it was a very well equipped car, with power seats, but no power windows.
