  • the construction co replaced that car with a '66 Coronet 500 ! good deal for Carter .

  • Yes, it was a beautiful '66 Coronet 500, "no charge" to Carter, but oddly it was never seen again after this episode!! And, stranger yet, the Red '60 Dodge showed up again in later episodes of the show!

  • @jed6271, It was seen again in the episode in which Carter loses his voice, and also where Gomer tries to prevent him from going to a crooked crap game. After this, he went through a 1956 and then a 1959 Coronet, and finally a 1965 Dodge Dart G.T. convertible in the show's final season.

  • @vividwatch47 Hey, thanks, I didn't remember that the '66 returned for those episodes.

  • what a classic, his face when he sees that crushed!

  • Beginning at 1:20, his reaction is incredible.  However, it is noticeable that the crushed Dodge is a 2 door sedan rather than Carter's flashy Hardtop, a common Hollywood stunt where the "good" car is not destroyed. Oddly, Carter once again had the Red 1960 Dodge in later episodes of the series. Sgt. Carter's many cars included the 1960 Dodge, then a 1956 Dodge (Gomer wrecked that too), then a 1958(?) Dodge convertible, and then a 1966 Dart convertible (with mag wheels!) in the 1969 season.

  • This is actually my all time favorite episode. Thank you, thank you, thank you as Gomer would say!

  • The damage to the car is totally different in the initial crush and the subsequent shot.

  • I remember this episode, God it is so funny! Wish you'd upload the whole thing!

  • Does anyone remember the episode when Sgt. Hacker accidently set Sgt. Carter's car on fire? It had something to do with, Hacker swipping gas. When he tried replacing it, gas leaked out of the can and caused an explosion. It was funny, seeing all the Marines running around yellng, "FIRE," and getting water.

  • cant wait for the next episode

  • It's perfect, it's just perfect not a scratch on it. Not the teenest scratch. LMAO. Gosh i wish they could make comedy like this today. I sure do miss it, this show was wonderful.

  • I liked that show just a lil better than Andy Griffith show. thanks for posting.
