Do you know the family cars from classic Sixties sitcoms?

Try to match the make with the model!

Beep! Beep! Classic cars are coming through!

One of the many pleasures of watching vintage television is spotting all the classic cars. The Sixties were a particular beautiful era for automobiles (of course, there were still some fin-tastic Fifties rides still rolling around). 

Every sitcom family needed a car. (Not to mention a sponsor.) Put your car knowledge to the test and try to match the make with the model. Good luck!
  1. The Stephens cruised around in this awesome Camero. Who made this Camero?

I like the DeSoto that Howard Cunningham drove Chuck Cunningham to Basketball practice and for the next 10 years forgot to pick Chuck back up!

11/11. Loved those cars back then. They had a lot more style than the cars today.

Thought I was more of a car person than this. What a clunker I am.
Time to check the spark plugs. 🥴

I'd never be able to identify a car from back then by sight, but got most of them (7/11) from repeated exposure to the make and model being said over and over in commercials of the era.

I used to drive a Toyota Plethora, but I traded it in for a Mazda Miasma.
Did you mean to say Miata? I’ve never heard of a Miasma…🤷‍♀️
mi·as·ma
/mīˈazmə,mēˈazmə/
noun LITERARY
a highly unpleasant or unhealthy smell or vapor.
"a miasma of stale alcohol hung around him like marsh gas"
Similar: stink, reek, stench, smell, odor, malodor, pong, niff, whiff, guff
an oppressive or unpleasant atmosphere which surrounds or emanates from something.
"there was a miasma of despair over this place"

It's what we in this country call a joke.

9/11. Shoulda looked at the grill on #11. Not a MeTV show but they had some great rides on Hazel.
Yes they did. I watch Hazel every morning 😉

9/11 Missed 3 & 5. Would never have guessed that big boat of a car was a Fury. Thought Oliver drove a Caddy.
Yeah, I agree with ya on the Fury one. My Mom had a light blue Fury but it didn’t look like that 🤔
On Happy Days I think that Fonzies motorcycle was a Harley but I wonder what kind of car Ozzie Nelson drove on The ADVENTURES of Ozzie and Harriet.
I don’t recall them ever driving a car. I know on the radio show he takes the bus.
